General issue for the state of gambling contract

As old as that Gambling Even the attempts are probably also to bring under state control. Over the centuries, the relationship of the state to gambling repeatedly made changes. From the permission of private gambling to state control to the complete ban, all possibilities that the spectrum gave.

In USA the so -called ten years ago Gambling State Treaty and afterwards the Gaming Change State Treaty passed, with which the state wanted to standardize legal framework for providers of gambling in USA. However, the reality is not satisfactory for the state, players or providers of gambling. While the regulations that the first are not far enough and the latter are too restrictive, the player still gropes in the dark.

What is the State Treaty and what are its goals?

On January 1, 2008, the first state agreement (GlüstV) came into force in USA. The aim of the contract was the creation of uniform framework for the event of games of chance in the Federal Republic. The Gaming State Treaty should be on the one hand Fighting the illegal gambling together with the problem of money laundering, as well as gambling addiction and child protection are guaranteed. To achieve these goals, gambling was given under state monopoly. Online gambling and advertising for gambling were prohibited, sports betting could only be made at the state provider ODDSet.

Four years later the State Treaty expired and was replaced a little later by the first Gaming Change State Treaty (GlüandstV), the Except for Schleswig-Holstein, all federal states ratified. This came into force on July 1, 2012 and allowed commercial gambling if the provider had previously obtained a state concession and also loosened the regulations for arcades with exceptions and tolerations. In the area of sports betting, twenty licenses were distributed to private providers, Online casinos remained prohibited.

Schleswig-Holstein did not conclude the contract, but at times his own passed “Law on the reorganization of gambling” and also distributed licenses for Online-Casinos and sports betting providers on the Internet. In the meantime, however, Schleswig-Holstein has also joined the regulations of the Gaming Change State Treaty.

A second amendment to the State Gambling Change Treaty was originally supposed to be expanded in 2018, the number of concessions for sports betting providers and a Characterize liberalization of gambling in USA. Due to the political changes in the country parliaments, the second state of gambling amendment, which must be approved by all 16 federal states, has not yet been ratified.

What games fall under the Gaming State Treaty?

Fall under the Game State Treaty All games where real money can be earned, whether on or offline. More precisely, the Gaming State Treaty includes regulations for operators of arcades, (online) casinos, internet lotteries as well as providers of sports betting and online poker games.

The State Treaty and the online casinos

The State Treaty and the first state of gambling amendment were limited to the regulation of offers of lottery games and sports betting as well as to classic arcades. Initially, online casinos simply received no American license. The operation of online casinos in USA was therefore prohibited in one fell swoop. Only with the special path of Schleswig-Holstein was it possible for American casino providers to obtain a concession and thus legally offer gambling. Since the northernmost American state has now joined the contract, providers of casino games must now hope for the revision of the State Gambling Amendment Treaty as long as the federal state’s issues are still valid.

The State Treaty and European Law

Since the entry into force, the State Treaty and the State Treaty of Glow of Gambling have been exposed to great criticism. This is not only expressed by lobby associations and gambling operators, The European Court of Justice has repeatedly criticized the American regulation and declared incompatible in judgments with European law.

In 2010, the state monopoly of sports betting was rated as a violation of European law requirements in 2010, since the intensive advertising for state providers was not compatible with the overarching goal of the protection of minors and addiction prevention. Also became The Schleswig-Holstein special path confirmed in several judgments And criticized the concession restriction to twenty providers. In the past, it has been repeatedly stated that the federal government had to prove that the measures taken increased youth protection, contributed to addiction prevention and reduced crime.

However, the EU Commission has withdrawn legally since 2018, and the processes and complaints against the gaming sector have been hired.

What does that mean for the players?

In theory, American players continue to be punishable if they take part in gambling that is not licensed by the Interior Ministry of Schleswig-Holstein. In practice, however, players are not pursued on the one hand and on the other hand, casino operators are with an EU license as well as players in these casinos protected by EU law, since the EU allows sales and advertising within the member countries to distribute the licenses. So also in USA, even if state law is opposed. A classic gray area. As long as you as a player on casinos with EU license, you have nothing to fear on the part of the authorities. In general, these online casinos are recommended anyway, since the allocation of Malta or Gibraltar’s EU license is finally linked to certain points that ensure fairness, ordinary management and thus in the sum of consumer protection.
