Eurosport Gets Gambling Permit: 2
Currently on the Channel Islands, there is a principal investment firm the
seeking middle-market investments in the online casino and media sector, that
firm in is Serendipity Investment SAS. The European commission does believe that
they have a say in what goes on these islands, even though they are not a part
of their government or even apart of the European Union. Recently the European
commission was cleared to make a proposal to the Serendipity Investment SAS of
France and Eurosport SA by the EU Merger Regulation. The companies are both
based out of France and are major competitors in the world of online casinos,
sports betting and even entertainment in general.
Eurosport is a popular sports channel that services many European countries and
they are in charge of several sports channels, like the United States’ sports
channels, ESPN. Eurosport does not want to be thought of as an online casino,
they would like to be a part of the world of internet gambling, especially that
of sports gambling. The sports channel currently operates a website that is
completely dedicated to reporting the latest in sports news. They also have a
large stake in companies that produce and manage sporting events around Europe.
The website is currently still under the final construction phases and will be
available to the public sometime in the next couple of months.
Online casinos have not always had the best luck when it comes to gathering
partners without the media giving many criticisms. Alderney is a friend of the
online casino industry and the head of their e-commerce development Robin Le
Prevost is excited about the potential of their latest partnership. He said: "We
believe that Alderney is the home of e-gambling and we are absolutely thrilled
to welcome Eurosport to our growing list of licensees. Its name adds to an
already stellar line-up of some of the most prestigious names in the industry.
‘SPS, having chosen to base its new online business in Alderney, speaks volumes
about our regime, capabilities and serious business approach. We are pleased to
have been chosen."
