Betfair files complaint with the European Commission about Greece's draft gaming law.
According to a report from Reuters, the betting exchange said it has been unfairly excluded from the Greek market, which is estimated at about €19bn. Betfair said a blanket ban on betting exchanges, and other terms, discriminated against it and said in an e-mailed statement that it has "asked the Commission to review the matter and engage with the Greek authorities with the aim of addressing the concerns raised in our complaint."
The company has reportedly warned that if Greece does not amend the law, it will ask the EU Commission to take legal action. The EC is due to deliver its verdict on the compatibility of the Greek draft with EU law on July 5.
