Gambling Treaty - Return to Reason
morning will advise the Chief fins and heads of State and Senate offices of the countries on the future of the gambling industry in Germany. Decision to contract the current three models were available for an amendment to the Gambling Act: first Evolution of the current monopoly by opening up the Internet sales channel for state gambling offers.
second Retention of the lottery monopoly regulated market opening and other gambling / sports betting (model Schleswig-Holstein).
now complements these models by proposing the DOSB, the results of his study group, composed of representatives of sports federations and the national sports federations, has put together its own blueprint for a new State Treaty on gaming. The DOSB calls for a regulated opening of the sports betting market with preservation of the lottery monopoly. The private providers should pay a betting levy 3:00 to 10:00 per cent of sales.
"The model I is given the decisions of the Federal Administrative Court of 11/24/2011 to fail The Federal Administrative Court has made clear that image and image advertising, according to the motto." Game, because even if you lose, it's for a good cause, "with the monopoly is not compatible. So it would then run counter drug prevention justification of the monopoly, if the sales channel is Internet for Lotto reopened.
But the model III. would be given a numerical restriction of providers fail law. A quota on an arbitrarily set number of licenses can legally justify not seen. This model would mean that the courts still covered with procedures. The desired channelization of the black market, the related tax revenues and a more effective youth and consumer protection can not be achieved with this experimental model. As an experiment, it would
allowed in our view, at best, limited in a controlled entry of private providers, as provided in the Model II or the DOSB to time. During this time we would finally be the killer argument proponents of the monopoly: "The private sector will still pay no taxes" disprove and prove that a liberal system works the same as in many other countries, "says Markus foot
..
have in the last Prime Ministers' Conference Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse, Thuringia, Saxony, Bavaria and Lower Saxony already signaled that they will not be a strict adherence to the monopoly agree. "In this attitude they are well advised. The revenues of the state gambling dwindling rapidly, and this dive is in detention at the sports betting monopoly, as provided for in the model I, are unstoppable. On the contrary, because currently, the standards that the Federal Administrative Court has put in promotional behavior of lottery not yet met. We expect that the competition law disputes, where Lotto is faced with, now that the Law the judgments are present, will increase dramatically. The advisory board of the gaming system has only recently successfully appealed against the fact that Lotto-Hessen had ermöglichet its customers to submit bogus e-mail. And proposals of the Advisory Board for addiction prevention regulation of casinos already exist. When to put the future of the visitors of a casino has on entry for each category, a limit must be that he can not change during each game to go, the latest from the already only dimly burning lights in the German casinos. "Said Markus mouth.
"With all due respect to the problems that can arise from gambling, need Let us finally come again for a dispassionate and rational analysis.
50 years the Federal Republic with the non-profit gambling on ever-increasing lottery revenues lived well and no one has taken offense at it. Only with the aim to defend the sports betting monopoly law, then in 2006 was summoned before the Federal Constitutional Court of the spirit of the search risk. This, however, the hour had struck by some gambling addiction experts who were entitled to post and suddenly money for themselves. Since then they justify their existence by the fact that they constantly communicate the impression that the entire public health would be sports betting and other gambling activities, to towards the innocent Lotto, more threatened than tobacco or alcohol. In this scenario of destruction of the West through an opening of the monopoly, will also fit the political trend, let us all be good people. The result: The state gambling revenues dwindle, ascertaining numerical courts that the rules and designs of the monopoly is not legally and those who would really be helped to play an uncontrolled manner from sellers who are not subject to the required regulations, the Treasury goes empty-handed.
Since the Internet can not foreclose will persist or even worsen the condition. It is high time that the Policy advice on the basis of facts and makes its decision in favor of both the game player, and the beneficiaries of the gaming system, that is the sport, and meets the State. The first - not compromised - the version of the countries commissioned Swiss study had recommended to open the betting market, maintaining the lottery monopoly. This expertise should follow you. It's also not understand why you can the consumer who pursues in his spare time, sports betting and other games, do not leave a minimum of personal responsibility. In other areas, but it works well. Otherwise we end up at some point in the place that everyone, depending on . Income, at the beginning of the month must determine what is he like to spend a lot, so he is not a shopaholic is "Mark says Maul finally
