German Online Casinos Imminent

The European Commission has heavily pressured the German government to address the German legislation that currently bans other EU countries from operating online casinos in the German market. As internet gambling expands throughout the European countries though, online casino gambling is growing exponentially and most EU countries expect open borders within the EU member-states in regards to free trade agreements. The fact that Germany has discriminatory legislation specifically protecting in-country online casinos angers both the EU Commission and many of the other EU member-states.

But Germany has consistently resisted the pressure from the European Commission in terms of opening its borders to online casinos. Only in the past month or so has Germany begun to cede to the demands and start developing possible legislation that would alleviate the current issue with the Commission.

But for the countries looking to access the online casino market within Germany prior to the passage of developing legislation, another sector of the e-gaming industry could be a back-door way into the German market. Skill games are an emerging industry in the European market and though they are not wagering games like the online casinos, many existing internet gambling companies have skill gaming divisions that would fill this niche segment of the market without infringing on the current laws that keep non-German internet gambling companies out of the market.

The laws regarding the current German online casinos monopolies are in the middle of change because of Germany’s issues with the European Commission – for that reason skill gaming is a choice way for internet gambling companies to get some market share prior to Germany opening up the e-gambling industry to other EU member states.
