I don't know if it has been shared or not , but Europe is considering to tighten the laws of Gambling especially the online ones. They want to **regulate** it , which actually means that they want these online gambling casinos to pay up the government somehow.
If a gambling casinos wants to operate legally they have no choice but to accept whatever government imposed on them, if they want more taxes, there is no option for gambling sites but to comply, as long as they can build their repuation on the license that the authorities have given, they will comply.
