Switzerland adds 61 sites to online gambling blacklist
Regulators unveil latest banned domains of unlicensed egaming operators
Bet365 has seen its fourth site blocked by Swiss gambling regulators as part of a new 61-strong blacklist of unlicensed egaming operators.
Eidgenössische Spielbankenkommission (ESBK) and the Inter-Cantonal Lotteries and Betting Commission (Comlot) released their latest blacklist – which has been running since September 2019 – following the implementation of the Swiss Federal Act on Real-Money Gaming.
Swiss internet service providers are required to block access to sites that feature on the blacklist with immediate effect.
On ESBK’s list, bet365’s 365sb.com became the fourth bet365 site to be blocked by the regulators following bet365.com, bet365.it and bet365.dk. The ESBK also blocked six sites alone from 22Bet.
Newly listed sites from Comlot include two sites from Eurolotto and three sites operated by Exclusivebet, while Interwetten7.com appeared on both blacklists.
Swiss internet providers are required to block access to the newly added sites immediately.
The gambling blacklists were first released in September 2019 and are regularly updated.
