Illegal gambling frozen in Switzerland

This was to be expected. The Swiss government has voted in favor of a measure that requires internet service providers in the country to begin blocking access to all illegal gambling websites.

“Blocking websites works – experience abroad demonstrates that,” Thierry Burkart from the centre-right Radical Party said, according to the Swissinfo.ch website.

The Greens and Swiss People’s Party were the only parties to oppose the domain-blocking plans, with Franz Grütter, a representative of the latter, saying that the move is “what dictatorships do”.

But despite reaching a conclusion on the matter of blocking websites, the country remains undecided as to whether it should tax winnings.
