The European Union’s official ombudsman has a stark message for the continent’s online gambling operators: you’re on your own.

This week, the European Ombudsman’s office dismissed a complaint filed in December 2016 by the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) alleging official indifference by the European Commission in dealing with protectionist gambling rules in many EU member states.

The Ombudsman noted that the EC announced last December that it was dropping all pending online gambling infringement cases against member states, saying it was “not a priority” to pursue the goals of the EU Single Market, at least when it came to online gambling matters.

The Ombudsman said the EC “enjoys wide discretion” when it comes to deciding whether or not to pursue infringement cases, and claimed the EC’s decision to drop all pending cases involving online gambling “is covered by this wide discretion.” As such, the Ombudsman says it lacks the authority to tell the EC to pull its head out of its ass (and hey, in that position, it’s not like they could hear it anyway).
