"The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that users of online gambling services within the EU can sue the betting operator for reimbursement of their losses if such gambling was prohibited in their home country when they placed the bets."
"The ECJ stated that online gambling is fundamentally classified as a service, which should generally be freely available across borders within the EU, but can be restricted for consumer protection and the protection of the social order."
"The ruling allows a German resident to seek compensation for losses incurred on online slot machines and lottery prediction betting between June 2019 and July 2021, when such gambling was not legal in Germany."
The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that users of online gambling services can seek reimbursement for losses incurred when such gambling was illegal in their home country. This ruling allows a German citizen to pursue compensation for losses from online gambling between June 2019 and July 2021. The court affirmed that member states can restrict online gambling for consumer protection, despite EU laws permitting it. Changes in national laws allowing gambling do not affect the right to seek compensation for past losses.
