Yes. But if member states would prohibit gambling at all - they could 
say it is in public interest because gambling is bad. But member states 
does not this - they allow gambling for some domestic companies only. So 
they are limiting free movement of services, which is illegal.

In Slovenia we have a special law, which states ISP's are not resposible 
for content they transfer (if they do not initiate the transfer or look 
into packets). Our "gambling office" said that ISP's are responsible for 
helping online gambling sites if they do not block access to them. It is 
not true - it is in direct contradiction with law.

And it is also illegal to order ISP's some action with a simple piece of 
paper, without legal notice. That's why I said it is illegal.
