In the second quarter of 2016, test lab Quinel and consultancy Avviza were commissioned by the EU to undertake a matrix study on the technical requirements for online gambling in each of the EU and EEA member states.

Quinel and Avviza deliver EU i-gaming study

The matrix study, the first of its kind, presents a detailed and dynamic matrix, which offers the EU Commission and the member states a comprehensive view of the technical requirements demanded by each member state for obtaining an online gambling licence and keeping such operation in good standing.

Isacco Ceci, chairman of Quinel, said: “This prestigious study was delivered and presented in Brussels last December to the EU Commission and to the national regulatory bodies within the EEA and it is with great pride and satisfaction that Quinel could share its expertise and experience in the field of technical requirements with the EU Commission and 31 regulators across the EEA.” 

Reuben Portanier, founder of Avviza Advisory, added: “Carrying out a study of such a wide-ranging magnitude in terms of technical requirements mandated across national legislations, regulations, directives and technical guidelines was no easy task. However, our joint Quinel/Avviza team worked relentlessly over such a short period of time and managed to produce a dynamic matrix study which is a first of its kind in this sector.”
