Would absolutely affect poker fwiw

edit: The proposal is for a point of consumption tax, which means (as I understand it) an additional fee will be attached to buy-ins/rake etc for tax revenue purposes.

I doubt this will make it through. So many people will drop out of gambling that it would kill the industry imo

Well of all the regulating done in the EU this is the most blatant money-grab so far. Want to be regulated for the UK market? Yeah no need to be based here, not as if we should be inspecting you or anything! Just stay in gibraltar and give us a cut!
