Swiss gambling regulators Eidgenössische Spielbankenkommission (ESBK) has teamed up with the Inter-Cantonal Lotteries and Betting Commission (Comlot) to publish an updated version of its unlicensed operator blacklist.
Having first been released in September 2019, the ESBK and Comlot have been adding numerous unlicensed operators to the list on a regular basis, with this newest update featuring the addition of 40 new domains.
The latest version of the list has since the ESBK add 27 new domains including Bestgoldeneuro.com, Casinoastral.com and Spinupcasino.com, with Comlot adding 13 domains to its blacklist of operators, including Betbigwin.com, Efbet.net, Forzza7.com and three Solobet brand websites – Sol0bet11.com, Solobet12.com and Solobet13.com.
Moreover, one of the new addition of blacklisted operators by Comlot also includes
Bet365.dk which becomes the third Bet365 owned site after its dot.com and dot.it domains were also blacklisted by the commission.
As a result of the sites being blacklisted by the organisation’s, Swiss internet service providers have now been required to block access to the relevant websites immediately.
As it stands, users based in Switzerland currently find themselves limited to online gambling due to the closure to all land-based casinos until 30 April as the Swiss government looks to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region.
