Features of Gambling in Europe

It seems, at first glance, there is little difference and our European casino - domestic. However, this is not the case. Besides the fact that there is their national traditions in every nation, there are also differences between European casinos and ways of doing this business than our orders and regulations in this area.

To begin with it should be noted that in most of Europe gambling is allowed in any city. Yes, there are special areas that have long been considered a gambling paradise. In Europe, it is worth noting a well-known city of Monte Carlo, located in the Principality of Monaco. However, as already stated, is not the only city where there is a casino. Casinos can be found in Paris and Brussels and Prague and many other cities in Europe.

Another feature of European gambling, although however, is not just European, it's the fact that even some very large casino does not belong to citizens of countries where the casinos are located. Owners, for example, so many casinos in France are citizens of the Russian Federation - according to unofficial data, about 70 %.

Generally in Europe, such a business is gambling, and no matter whether it is a casino or just a gaming site that is online casino - all this business is under the scrutiny of the state, and under the supervision of the tax authorities. This is a very distinguished gambling Europe from the same gambling or Asia, or the post-Soviet space.

Incidentally, with regard to taxes. Compared to the post-Soviet countries, all the European powers are paying huge taxes on income received from the casino. In our countries, these taxes by tens of percent lower - in the range 12-20 %. For example, last year the European Union of the profits from the casinos of the European countries got a little more than half that is about 51.7 percent, which is quite a lot.

Now we introduce a new law by which all owners of casinos in Europe will be required to pay tax on the income of a little more than sixty percent. From an economic point it is clear that we (in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus) have casinos profitable.

A special place in the European gaming industry is to deliver offshore areas of Europe. This is especially good for the owners of online casinos, which are almost all moved into the offshore. Now many online casino registered in Cyprus, Giblartare, the Isle of Man and Malta. Incidentally, the famous poker room PokerStars is registered on the Isle of Man.

As for the casino itself, there is almost no features. The casino also offers a variety of games, both real and virtual same. What is swinging preferences of local players, then, strangely enough, in France, French Roulette is not very popular.
