William Hill domains removed from Bulgarian blacklist
Three websites run by the operator have been removed from the list of blocked sites by the Bulgarian State Commission on Gambling
Three websites operated by UK-based William Hill have been removed from the blacklist of unlicensed sites maintained by Bulgaria’s State Commission on Gambling (SCG).
The three domains “ williamhill.com, 21nova.com, and joylandcasino.com “ have all been removed from the list after the SCG said it was satisfied the sites were not operating or targeting players in Bulgaria.
The blacklist includes around 160 domains “ owned by the likes of bet365, Betfair and Ladbrokes “ which Bulgarian authorities believed were targeting residents.
However eGaming Review recently reported that the Bulgarian government is considering a list of amendments to its licensing and taxation process, including scrapping its domain blacklist.
The move would potentially open the door to overseas egaming operators, and would bring its legislation and taxation more in line with other European countries.
William Hill declined to comment on this story.
