End
of
Online
Gambling
Monopoly
April
30,
2008
There
have
been
rumors
swirling
about
to
the
idea
that
the
Danish
were
losing
the
fight
to
maintain
online
gambling
solely
within
their
country,
and
now
it
looks
like
they
may
have
given
up
the
fight
for
good.
Denmark
is
now
saying
that
they
might
allow
online
gambling
instead
of
continuing
to
fight
the
influx
of
it
into
their
country.
The
European
Union
has
been
coming
after
them
for
some
time
now
in
an
effort
to
get
them
to
accept
online
gambling,
and
it
looks
as
though
they
may
have
worn
them
down
at
long
last.
Their
Minister
for
Taxation,
Kristian
Jensen,
was
on a
Danish
radio
station
and
mentioned
that
the
times
they
may
be a
changing.
Jensen
told
the
station
that
the
government
was
looking
into
reform
that
would
allow
for
licensing
of
online
gambling
transactions
within
the
country.
Jensen
said
that
if
the
other
countries
that
want
to
invade
them
with
their
online
gambling
groups
“can
live
up
to
the
strict
regulations”
that
the
company
has
put
in
place,
there
may
be
wiggle
room.
Jensen
said
that
they
might
be
open
to
allowing
other
countries’
online
casinos
in
to
market
their
sites,
but
they
would
have
to
toe
the
line
and
abide
by
their
rules.
Saying,
“I
do
not
wish
any
Wild
West
situation.
I
want
a
regulated
market,”
leaves
many
to
believe
that
it
is
possible
and
can
be
done.
If
it
were
to
come
to
pass
that
they
did
allow
online
gambling
in
from
other
countries,
those
countries
would
definitely
see
an
increase
in
their
sales.
Denmark
is
known
for
having
one
of
the
largest
concentrations
of
online
gamblers
which
would
simply
mean
they
were
now
sharing
the
wealth.
