News reports about the German betting market are
arriving daily in unprecedented numbers and with every passing day the betting sector moves further into
the limelight of public interest. Market participants expect a further decisive milestone early in 2006
when Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court will finally set the course either for “enormous growth or for
a return to the old model”.
Thus, it is time to analyse the betting market more
closely and to replace speculation with solid information. Accordingly, MECN’s new study analyses issues
such as:
Market size (betting turnover and gross wins of
private operators, number of betting offices, …)
Structure of the betting market and its most
important players
Relevant sales channels
Characteristics of German bettors
Legal developments
…
The study essentially targets betting companies
(state-controlled and private) as well as businesses that consider entering the German betting market. In
part, the analyses are based on the results of a survey of industry experts.
