With the Hesse Ministry of Interior (responsible for the issuing of the 20 federal licences under the Interstate Treaty on Gambling – ITG) now actively looking for a law firm to support its position against the anticipated wave of court cases from unsuccessful applicants, tensions continue to run high and the complexity of the German regulatory scene only increases exponentially.

WrB Germany Launch

With Schleswig-Holstein joining the Inter-State Treaty on 24th January, and the industry waiting to find out who will receive one of only 20 Inter-State Treaty licences in May, WrB Germany will focus on the key post-regulatory challenges to operating on the German market. Profound uncertainty remains as to how the licencees from Schleswig-Holstein will operate, advertise and work with the new German regulatory authority (Das Gluecksspielkollegium) following the shift of Schleswig-Holstein and how the 20 Inter-State Treaty licences will permit operations and be enforced across all 16 German States.
