Things are currently moving rapidly in the Dutch gaming market due to both political and legal developments. The new Dutch government indicated that it might introduce a licensing regime for remote gambling, and very recently a sell-off of state-owned Holland Casino was suggested by the state secretary of finance in Parliament.

Implications for Germany
While the ECJ has mandated change for the regulation of gambling in Germany, the level of change required to achieve a coherent model is yet to be determined. There is an urgent need to end the legal chaos. However, a political solution may be difficult to find, with views divided along party lines among the country’s 16 federal states or Länder. … Continue Reading
