Gambling
In line with its fast-paced and dynamic roots, the gambling industry is constantly in a state of change.
While regulatory liberalisation is creating new opportunities in some jurisdictions, tightening legislation is closing down avenues in others. In particular, the widely differing attitudes of the UK and US governments towards remote gambling, and the existence of state-owned or licensed monopolies in other countries, have highlighted the need for the industry to become highly adaptable and flexible. Olswang's definitive knowledge of the sector allows us to advise our clients on how to recognise, protect and optimise their opportunities within this shifting landscape.
At Olswang, we've been working with the industry's leading names for the past decade; we act for some of the world’s leading bookmakers, online poker sites and casino groups. We understand not only the law associated with betting and gaming, but the business behind it. The foundation of our practice is authoritative guidance on the complex regulatory regime governing gambling combined with expert advice on new media issues; this has made us a leading provider to both remote and non-remote gambling clients.
Our Gambling Group also regularly provides gambling-related advice to non-gambling clients, such as broadcasters, sponsors and ISPs. Such advice might be in respect of advertising arrangements, gambling-related programmes and services, white label deals and prize competitions. We also offer advice on the tax and competition issues that clients involved in this sector are likely to face. In addition, our Real Estate practice has extensive experience of leisure related developments including the building of casinos, venues, hotels and cinemas.
Like our clients, Olswang is proud to support The GREaT Foundation, which raises funds for gambling research, education and treatment of problem gambling.
