European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) warns that current Brexit arrangements carry operational and business concerns for the online gambling sector. On 24 December, the EU and UK agreed to a post-Brexit trade deal. However, EGBA says the terms and conditions fall short of safeguarding online betting. There is an interim agreement to continue data transfers between the two jurisdictions, but it expires in less than 6 months' time.

Maarten Haijer, Secretary General, EGBA, said that without a long-term agreement, online gambling companies would need to decide where to locate their data hubs.
