EU-domstolsadvokat styrker Tipico-kunders rettigheder

Nicholas Emiliou, generaladvokat ved EU-Domstolen, tog Tipico-kundernes parti i sin udtalelse og understregede behovet for nationale licenser og potentielle tilbagebetalinger af indsatser. Tusindvis af spillere håber på milliarder af kroner i tilbagebetaling.

Torsdag tog Nicholas Emiliou, generaladvokat ved EU-Domstolen, i vid udstrækning Tipicos kunders parti i sin udtalelse. Den centrale sag involverer en spiller, der satsede betydelige summer hos Tipico fra 2013 til 2020. Udbyderen havde en maltesisk, men ingen tysk licens. Tysklands forbundsdomstol (BGH) henviste spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt udbydere har brug for en national tilladelse eller kan stole på EU's frie udveksling af tjenesteydelser. Emiliou afgør sagen: Udbydere skal have en national licens; uden den kan de blive pålagt tilbagebetalingskrav. Hans udtalelse er typisk afgørende, da EF-Domstolen normalt følger den. Hannes Beuck fra Gamesright kalder det en "stærk stemme for forbrugerbeskyttelse": "Nu er det klart: Berørte parter skal have deres tab tilbage. Advokat Marc Ellerbrock, der repræsenterer over 1.000 klienter, siger: "Dette er en ubetinget positiv dag for os, da generaladvokaten følger vores argumenter på alle vigtige punkter. Tipico føler sig dog styrket af en undtagelse: Hvis de tyske myndigheder tolererede tilbuddet, ville de refundere. En talsmand argumenterer: "Præcis det skete i Tyskland" og forudser "enden på spilleres retssager i Tyskland". Tyske domstole har allerede tilkendt spillere sekscifrede beløb med klienttab fra €5.000 til €700.000. Kravene kan løbe op i milliarder. Tipico, Tysklands førende udbyder af sportsvæddemål, nægter at have omstruktureret for at undgå udbetalinger.
