One Country, Two Sets of Laws – Sports Gaming Summit at Schwielowsee: Gaming providers expect a chaotic year – will further federal states follow the Schleswig-Holstein model?

Potsdam/Werder, in March 2012. One question has continuously been hovering in the background: What will Brussels say? Anticipating a statement from the European Commission on the so-called E-15 Draft for a new inter-state treaty on gambling (GlüStV) which has been initiated by all German federal states with the exception of Schleswig-Holstein, more than 100 top representatives from the gaming sector, media and sports met at Schwielowsee near Potsdam for the Sports Gaming Summit organised by the trade magazine Sponsors http://www.sponsors.de to discuss the current market and legal situation.
