State Rejection Imminent

Germany is seeing a bit of a revolt these days against the state’s online casino gambling ban. A new study in the country indicates that although all of the states initially agreed to support a German gambling monopoly, there has been no actual enforcement of the German regulations calling for all foreign online casinos to leave the German market. The state government can only do so much to enforce the protectionist regulations if the individual German states are not willing to support the state gambling monopoly. To that end, the individual German states have already begun to reject the protectionist online gambling regulations that took effect nearly one year ago.

One of the key reasons the monopolistic German regulations did not take hold is because the citizens of Germany were not willing to alter their online casino gambling habits to fit the tighter and more restrictive regulations. Additionally, with all of the money funneling into the state coffers, that did not actually mean that more money was coming into each of the German states. Last January’s gambling ban only served to reinforce the connections to foreign online casinos.

And on the regulation front, many of the German states are now pointing out that a regulated and taxed online caisno gambling industry in Germany would actually generate more revenue for the country than the currently protected gambling monopoly that funnels all of the state’s gambling business through a state-run gambling site. The current German gambling treaty that supports the national monopoly runs until 2011, when it comes up again for review; several of the German states though are not willing to wait that long for an open and inclusive online casino gambling market.
