Our Luis Portela de Carvalho, Tânia Pinho, and Marta Botica Santos are featured in the September 2026 edition of IMGL Magazine with their latest article: “Could Europe’s Digital Services Act be used to curb promotion of black market gambling?”.

The article explores whether the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) can effectively tackle unlicensed online gambling promotion, addressing the tension between its horizontal framework and member states’ national licensing rules.

Key highlights:
• EU vs. National Enforcement: Why the DSA’s general notice-and-action rules struggle with jurisdiction-specific licensing requirements.
• Regulatory Gaps: The absence of explicit gambling risk indicators within platform systemic risk assessments and reporting duties.
• Cross-Border Coordination: The need for specialized trusted flaggers and stronger synergy between digital platforms and national gambling authorities.
