The reason for the ban is that 777ball needs a license enabling them to advertise their services within the European Economic Area.
They currently hold a Philippine issued license which does not comply with this requirement. A spokesman for 777ball said the company was determined to act correctly and will be applying for the relevant license. A meeting had been arranged with the Commission in order to explain the company’s position.
