"  Cross-Border Gambling on the Internet: Challenging National and International Law "
Limited edition, 421 pages

The phenomenon of online gaming is located at a cross-roads where all the most important aspects of cyberspace law converge (rules governing e-commerce, telecommunications and the protection of privacy, as well as safeguards imposed for the benefit of minors and incapacitated persons).

Major issues of general public, administrative and private law are to be found congregating at the same junction, because e-gaming is closely involved with administrative licensing law, contract and liability law, taxation, regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering and with private international law.

Furthermore, given the inherent tendency of online gaming to cross national borders, it raises new and complex questions with respect to the sovereignty of States and challenges regional and international organizations such as the WTO/GATS  and the European Union.

"Cross-Border Gambling on the Internet: Challenging National and International Law" is the fruit of  three years research and a successful international conference held in Lausanne by the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law.

The book responds to repeated demands by academics and legal practitioners for a serious study of the major juridical questions associated with gaming via the Internet.
