maltatoday Gaming Europe's online gambling scene saw a number of important changes last year. More EU countries officially regulated their iGaming markets (the Czech Republic, Poland), while other countries acknowledged the importance of the introduction of proper regulations (Sweden) in relation to the provision of this type of service. Other countries like Norway reaffirmed their stance that the monopoly model was the best for their residents in terms of the safe and socially responsible conduction of gambling activities. 2018 is likely to see more reforms added to the ones already undertaken last year. What is more, first results and consequences from the changes implemented in 2017 are to be witnessed this year. Whether the changes are positive or negative, it is yet to be seen. But one thing can be said with certainty, the online gambling sector is growing and will continue growing with millennials gradually establishing themselves as the ones wielding the most buying power. Hopefully, the industry will be transformed in a manner that will be able to accommodate their demand in a proper way.
