Lichtenstein appears to be on course to open up its online casino and online betting market and is currently looking into the possibility of granting licences to foreign gaming operators.

Following Gibraltar, Malta and Britain, Lichtenstein would thus become the fourth European country to grant online gaming licences.

This news is of the utmost interest to the biggest names in the industry, from online casinos to poker rooms and sports betting websites. The tax breaks and banking secrecy that apply to Lichtenstein-based businesses are tempting assets for gaming operators.

This news has relaunched the debate about the need to harmonise legislation for the online gaming market in Europe in order to ensure that everyone in the industry is on an even footing.
