Anger Over Lousy Odds By State Run Operators


Anger Over Lousy Odds By State Run Operators

Right2bet, an European gambling consumer campaign, fighting for betting freedom has confirmed that state-runs gaming operators had lower odds than private operators.

Report shows that the state run operators are dominating the market even thought they offer average 35% worst odds than private license operators. However due to the restriction of legalism and rules, most punters will still bet with state-run operators.

The startling figures have been revealed in the Right2bet World Cup Report which analysed the odds offered on every World Cup match by seven of Europe’s biggest betting monopolies, before comparing them to the equivalent prices being offered by other licensed European operators.

The report essentially demonstrated that Europe’s betting monopolies were short-changing their customers via the help of legislation which protects existing marketing dominance.

Right2bet spokesman Ari Last said: “The figures emanating from this report are quite shocking. Millions of EU consumers who wanted to bet during the World Cup were subjected to hugely inferior prices by the monopolies that their governments strive so hard to protect.”

“The protectionist behaviour of certain Member States when it comes to online gambling is a situation that does not conform to the ethos of the single-market, and we hope that the findings of this report will highlight what is undoubtedly an unjust reality.”

The report also noted the counties worse off, including two that made the semi-finals: The Netherlands (which lost to Spain in the finals) and Germany.

Country breakdowns:

· Germany: 48% worse off

· Sweden: 40% worse off

· The Netherlands: 35% worse off

· France: 31.5% worse off

· Greece: 31% worse off

· Denmark: 14.4% worse off
