IMGL Magazine December 2024

EDITORIAL

to work (and describe what did not work) and allow jurisdictions to adapt to suit their needs. Of course, not everything that spreads around the world is universally welcomed. We have witnessed in recent years the contagious nature of advertising bans which continue to proliferate in Europe and beyond. We are also seeing the spread of player claims where the success of cases in Austria and Germany is encouraging bettors elsewhere to try and recover losses. We have already seen the first player claims in the Netherlands and now it looks like Sweden could be the next country to see the floodgates open. Together with an Asian roundup, reports from Latin and North America and news of Finland’s legalization, we continue to adhere to and promote the global mix of contributions characteristic of the IMGL Magazine. Enjoy!

Yours sincerely, Simon planzer@planzer-law.com
