Digital Services Act: New tools to enhance the fight against illegal online gambling
A free webinar for EL Lottery Members only
This webinar takes place on 18 November from 10-11:00 CET
The upcoming Digital Services Act (DSA) aims to create a safer digital space in which the fundamental rights of all users of digital services are protected and marks a milestone update in the regulation of Internet in the EU. It foresees a number of provisions that could potentially be beneficial in the lotteries’ fight against illegal online gambling:
- An improved notice-and-action mechanism which would enable all users to notify illegal content online;
- Introduction of the concept of “trusted flaggers” whose notifications of illegal content would need to be addressed with priority; and
- Enhanced consumer protection and know-your-business-customer requirements.
Follow the virtual interactive debate among EU policy experts from EU lottery members on the future rules governing digital services and the possibilities to create tools to fight illegal online gambling. Feel free to ask your questions to the speakers. Learn how you can influence developments.
