Arguing in favour of EU-level protection for lotteries may seem a little odd at first sight, but in reality it is not. Lotteries are an emanation of the sovereign power of Member States, which are the guarantors of their continuity. Made up of these, the European Union is the most appropriate level for confirming this national prerogative. This is why a Protocol in future treaties of the Union will establish a solid legal basis for the protection of the traditional Lotteries model.

Light & Wonder's Howard Glaser, global head of government affairs and legislative counsel said, "there are markets in which authorized iGaming is explicitly legal and those where it is explicitly prohibited. Then there are the markets in the middle where maybe the law is silent -the first case and the last case should be easy. If it’s legal, it’s legal. If it’s illegal, it’s illegal. And so there shouldn’t be any objection to either a law or a regulation which says, don’t operate in markets that are explicitly Illegal.”
