Meanwhile in Germany, sports betting trade association Deutscher Sportwettenverband (DSWV) has called on the Bundeslander to support its calls for the “realignment of Interstate online gambling laws in 2024”.
The trade body reiterates its warning to Bunderlander that the Interstate market faces a 50% exposure to the blackmarket, and that deficiencies will be exposed this summer as Germany hosts the UEFA Euro 2024 championships… However, is anybody listening?
