The Swiss Federal Council (Bundesrat) has approved licences for Casino Lugano and Casino du Lac Meyrin to offer online gambling in the country.
Casino du Lac is operated by a French company named Groupe Partouche. Casino Lugano is jointly owned by Casinos Austria International and Lugano Municipality.
These operators are the first to have earned online approval outside German-speaking cantons of the country. They are also the sixth and seventh online platforms that have been given entry to the Swiss gaming industry.
Before starting their operations, both the operators have to obtain approval from the country’s federal gambling regulator Eidgenössische Spielbankenkommission (ESBK).
