It ruled that the current use of network blocks to restrict access to sites that are not approved by the national regulators was proportionate. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Switzerland has been using the &ldquo;domain name system&rdquo; since 2019 in order to prevent players from being able to access gambling sites other than those casino and lottery sites approved by the two national regulators. Approved casino gaming sites are all tied to Swiss land-based casinos. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The country&rsquo;s regulators had argued that using the blocks ensured that players only use sites that pay tax in Switzerland and protect players against gambling harm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The ruling was made following appeals from three international gaming operators who had hoped to enter the Swiss market. The ruling on the court&rsquo;s website does not name the operators, but Germany&rsquo;s bet-at-home.com AG has said that it was one of the operators that had appealed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">The Federal Administrative Court last year ruled against four cases filed against the ban by Malta-based Interwetten International Ltd, Videoslots Ltd, bet-at-home Entertainment Ltd, and Lopoca Gaming Ltd.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"background-color:white\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#333333\">No Copyright infringement intended.
