19With regard to the provisions of the EC Treaty relating to freedom to provide services, they apply, as the Court has already held concerning the organisation of lotteries, to an activity which consists in enabling users to participate, for a payment, in gambling (see Schindler, cited above, paragraph 19). Therefore, such an activity falls within the scope of Article 49 EC, provided that at least one of the providers is established in a Member State other than that in which the service is offered. It is therefore necessary to examine the case from the viewpoint of freedom to provide services.
