Portugal on verge of regulating online poker 16 June 2014

Igaming Business is reporting that Portugal may very well move to regulate online poker by July 10, 2014.

The country has some history with previous attempts and intention to legislate on the issue, the report said.

The legislation is likely to bring Portugal in line with its European counterparts who have legislated and regulated online poker and will see a state controlled gambling authority issuing licences, Igaming Business reported.
