Isle of Man and Estonia gaming regulators sign cooperation agreement

The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission has signed a bilateral agreement with the Estonian Tax and Customs Board to allow for cooperation and the sharing of information between the two gaming jurisdictions.

The Isle of Man said that based on the principles of protection of consumers and preservation of public order, the agreement’s objective is to improve regulatory standards both in the online and land-based sectors.

The two jurisdictions will achieve this through exchange of knowledge, provision of assistance and establishment of a good working relationship.
