The German Betting and Gambling Market
|
|
|
|
Liberalising a giant gambling market
|
|
|
|
The discussion about the liberalisation of the German
betting and gambling market has been going on since the Gambelli decision of the ECoJ back in 2003. Now,
years later, the course is set for the liberalisation, and from 2012 on the German gambling market will be
very different from what it is now.
|
|
|
|
The increased complexity of the market has also led to
increased demands on market research and analyses - simple and short answers no longer work. Therefore,
MECN spent several months compiling the most comprehensive, detailed, and objective report (ca. 120 pages)
on the German betting and gambling market (not a commissioned study).

Support of top local experts
|
|
|
As with our previous reports, MECN was again able to
gain the support of top local experts as partners for the report. For the legal and regulatory chapters,
for example, we cooperated with several renowned experts including the lawyers of Arendts Anwälte. In addition, the researchers Ingo Fiedler
and Ann-Christin Wilcke of the University of Hamburg provided unparalleled insights into the German online
poker market.
