Data Concerns For Gambling Operators After Brexit

2 minutes read

The exit of the UK from the European Union could cause data problems for gambling companies, the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) expressed concern about this. As known, on December 24, 2020 Great Britain signed a trade agreement with the EU governing the future relations between the country and the Union. Brexit will have significant impact on many, including online gambling companies, according to the Brussels-based industry trade association. Ultimately, some of the data may be unprotected.

Gambling Industry After Brexit

According to representatives of the authority, the UK must conclude a new agreement with the EU regarding the management and storage of data. That being said, UK gambling companies still have to operate in accordance with the GDPR, the EU's general data protection regulation. EBGA will endeavor to provide assistance to data providers and casino operators to meet their GDPR obligations.

Maarten Hayer, EBGA Secretary General, said that the issue of cross-border data flows is the highest priority at the moment. If no long-term agreement is reached, companies serving both the UK and EU markets will have to think about finding new locations for their data center to minimize potential disruption to data processing.
