This is especially important right now considering the increased demand for online gambling options amid the ongoing global coronavirus outbreak that has led to the closure of several brick-and-mortar venues. Casino operations as well as may other social activities have become almost non-existent over the past few weeks as the world tries hard to contain the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the fight rages on, <strong>the land-based casino operators who have online gambling operations definitely have the upper hand now. <\/strong>They are able to continue catering to the gaming needs of their customers through the provision of a vast range of gaming options including the very popular live casino games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, six of the country&#8217;s casinos have been given the green light to offer online gambling services in the country. This was made possible by a gambling expansion law that was passed at the beginning of 2019 after the Swiss lawmakers recognized <strong>the immense potential of the online gambling sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-blacklist\">The Blacklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, the online gambling operators are now more important than ever before particularly because of the need for alternatives to land-based casinos. Even so,<strong> illegal, unlicensed and unregulated online gambling sites still remain a huge problem in Switzerland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a bid to solve this problem, the Swiss authorities have opted to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"purge the unauthorized online gambling sites (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/calvinayre.com\/2020\/03\/17\/business\/switzerland-expands-online-gambling-blacklist-shuts-casinos\/\" target=\"_blank\">purge the unauthorized online gambling sites<\/a>. These sites have since made their way to a blacklist and will no longer be able to offer their services to the country&#8217;s residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands, ESBK, Switzerland&#8217;s federal gaming board has issued a list consisting of <strong>172 gambling site domains.<\/strong> The country&#8217;s internet service providers are now preparing to block all 172 of these domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"more-players-come-in\">More Players Come In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the illegal operators exit the country&#8217;s market, the Swiss authorities have shown that they are more than willing to welcome other gaming operators in the country. There are of course a few terms that accompany this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most recent and most notable developments in this regard was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greentube.com\/greentube-expands-switzerland-swiss-casinos-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"entry of Greentube into the Swiss gaming market (opens in a new tab)\">entry of Greentube into the Swiss gaming market<\/a>. The company has <strong>partnered with the Swiss Casino Group<\/strong> and will be offering its premium range of slots on the operator&#8217;s online gambling platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is just the beginning though. Even more gambling companies\nand service providers have their sights set on the budding online gambling industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gaming regulators and authorities in Switzerland are now doubling down on their efforts to clean up the country&#8217;s online gambling sector.
