Bwin, one of Europe’s largest online gaming and online bingo operators, is to take the French Open tennis tournament to court as part of a litigation surrounding a perceived slandering of online gaming due to a ban on online betting at the tournament. French Open’s organisers sparked the court case after they made complaints in Belgium and Paris asserting Internet betting companies stain the reputation of the clay-court championship. "Following claims by the French tennis federation that services offered by online sports betting operators present a danger to the ethics of sport, Bwin is suing the organisers of the French Open for damages before a Paris court," a Bwin statement siad. Bwin, which offers online bingo games to its European customers, is also currently engaged in legal battles with a number of German states over their implementation of state-run gambling monopolies that would see Bwin squeezed out of the online gaming market in that country. Bingo online is not a large market in Germany, but some online bingo hall operators see a potential for growth there. Written by John Witherspoon – How about playing bingo online?
