Lithuania Blacklist Unibet; Will TonyBet be the Next to Offer Bitcoin?

The Lithuania Gaming Control Authority have blacklisted Unibet for the second time, and Tony G tells the Internal Market for Consumer Protection Committee that everyone should get some Bitcoin prompting the question when will TonyBet start using them?

Lithuania’s Gaming Control Authority (GCA), operating under the Ministry of Finance, has once again blocked and blacklisted the Swedish online giants Unibet.

At the turn of the year, Lithuania President Dalia Grybauskaitė signed amended gaming laws that outlawed international gambling sites from offering Lithuanian based players a punt if they weren’t physically located in the country, and had partnered with a land-based casino.

The new laws handed the GCA power to instruct Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block any wayward sites that didn’t want to play ball. Banks and other payment processors were also warned not to do business with rogues.
