There is a very recent invention for this type of question. It's called
a lawyer. Some of them even have web sites and can be reached by email.
Even more interesting I remember some of them specializing in Internet
related things and giving presentations at SWINOG meetings some time
back.
The bad news is they want some money for their expertise and knowledge.
It's not for free like Firefox, Linux or MySQL. Or web-hosting and DSL
access... Maybe I mixed something up here...
To give you a hint on the answer to your question: Many moons ago the
Spielbankenkomission sent a letter to many ISP demanding (not just
requesting) to block access to *all* money gambling and betting sites
on the Internet. Non-compliance of blocking was said to be as bad as
running such an illegal site yourself. You know, many years in government
sponsored wellness club with heavily filtrated air...
KOBIK never gives feedback on tips or questions you give them.
Oh, and Altavista'ing for "glücksspiel internet schweiz" 1st hit would
have given you the answer immediately.
