Online gambling: An experienced poker player remains a “consumer” according to the CJEU
Does a player who is a little too experienced and victorious for an online poker site – this player having won 227,000 euros in less than a month and a half – retain the status of non-professional “consumer” within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of December 22, 2000 (known as the Brussels I Regulation)?
In a judgment issued on December 10, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union answered yes to this question.
