The association will be part of the annual ministerial conference that takes place in Elmau today and tomorrow, where it will call for a regulation that recognises social realities and creates a legally secure foundation for existing markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1d2f5f; letter-spacing: .25pt;\">The DSWV said that as the existing 3rd State Treaty on State Revisions expires on June 30, 2021, Germany needs a new gambling regulation. It said that its members are concerned about the negotiations around a new regulation because many said that some regulations present more risks than opportunities for player protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1d2f5f; letter-spacing: .25pt;\">\u201cConsumer protection and regulation are not mutually exclusive. Only if the policy transfers the existing online markets into a regulated framework, player and consumer protection will be successful,\u201d said DSWV President Mathias Dahms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1d2f5f; letter-spacing: .25pt;\">\u201cThe inevitably proposed cuts in the sports betting program, artificial barriers in the form of a cross-provider and cross-game limits and a continuation of the prohibition policy in online gaming would only urge customers to non-regulatory willingness providers in the unprotected black market,\u201d added Dahms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1d2f5f; letter-spacing: .25pt;\">\u201cThe proposed measures are based on the misconception that the availability of a sufficiently attractive range of games and the simultaneous increase in demand automatically lead to an increased search risk.\u00a0It is completely neglected that from a scientific perspective, a particular danger of online gambling can not be proven.\u00a0In addition, the figures collected by the Gambling Supervisors and the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) are ignored, and these same fears are again refuted,\u201d argued the DSWV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1d2f5f; letter-spacing: .25pt;\">Moreover, the association said that the market for online betting and online games has nearly quintupled in Germany between 2009 and 2017.\u00a0The BZgA shows in studies that the explosive growth of the online gambling market has not led to any additional addiction problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1d2f5f; letter-spacing: .25pt;\">\u201cThe channelling of previously unregulated gaming services in a regulated market must be the prime objective of a new state gaming agreement.\u00a0The offers must be so attractive that consumers prefer them to the black market,\u201d said Dahms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"author__bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"comment\">Comment<\/label><br \/>\n<textarea aria-required=\"true\" cols=\"45\" id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" placeholder=\"Message\" rows=\"8\"><\/textarea><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"author\">Name<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"author\" name=\"author\" placeholder=\"Name...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"name\">Email<\/label><input aria-required=\"true\" id=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Email...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label class=\"show-on-ie8\" for=\"url\">Url<\/label><input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" placeholder=\"Website...\" size=\"30\" type=\"text\" value=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-cookies-consent\"><input id=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" name=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"yes\"\/> <label for=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.<\/label><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit\"><input class=\"submit\" id=\"comment-submit\" name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\"\/> <input id=\"comment_post_ID\" name=\"comment_post_ID\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"8875\"\/> <input id=\"comment_parent\" name=\"comment_parent\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DSWV, the German body in charge of sports betting, has demanded a practicable and consumer-oriented regulation.
