Abstract
This book looks at the Law and Policy on Betting and Sport in many countries around the world––sport is a global phenomenon—providing a very useful and valuable comparative survey on a subject that is so vital for safeguarding and preserving the integrity of those sports in which betting is legally allowed.The country reports show how sports-related betting is organized in the country concerned, also from a historical and policy perspective (national Lotteries Act; state run/state licensed lotteries and/or private operators; how the licensing system for public operators works; state supervisory mechanisms, etc.) and contain a treatment of the national case law.
Ronny V. van der Meij—Associate lawyer.
