Advertising for online casinos on free TV | Statement from the broadcaster

Hello people!

Currently, one or two OCs on free TV are advertising for new players again.
So far so good, but I find somehow somewhat shocking that this is not at night, but also in broad daylight in the Glotze runs.

After all, this is from 18 years and you see during the day also no 0900 dominatrix advertising on TV or naked boobs!

Who is interested in the topic, here is the answer of the German broadcasting company



Dear Mr. XXXXX,
thank you for your mail on the subject of advertising for online casino in nationwide TV programs.

your irritation and/or astonishment is absolutely understandable, particularly since the gambling interstate contract does not permit exactly such advertisement in the broadcast. The legal situation, which is clear in itself, has unfortunately changed somewhat due to a special regulatory path in Schleswig-Holstein. Above all, the gambling supervisory authorities of other federal states are currently examining whether this is all legally possible.

Here briefly the background:
According to Section 5 of the State Treaty on Gambling, which has been signed by all German states (since 2013 also Schleswig-Holstein again), advertising for online casino offers on the radio is not permitted.

In 2011, the predecessor government in Schleswig-Holstein did not co-sign the State Treaty on Gaming, but enacted its own gaming law for Schleswig-Holstein. On this legal basis, a number of online casino offerings were licensed in 2011, as were sports betting providers and lotteries. Section 26 of the Gambling Act also stipulated that these providers were also allowed to advertise their gambling, including on radio (i.e. TV and radio). It was only necessary to point out that participation in the Games of chance was only possible in Schleswig-Holstein. When the players were registered, it was allegedly also checked whether they really came from SH.

The advertisement for these gambling offers with the SH reference ran then also in country wide TV programs. The gambling supervisory authorities of other states and also the media institutions (which in this case only supervise the TV broadcasters as advertising media but not as advertisers), were bound by the legal situation and could only look to see whether the advertisements also contained the SH participation notice.

In 2013, the new state government in SH rejoined the State Gambling Treaty and repealed the 2011 Gambling Act. However, with one exception: the gambling licenses issued in 2011 were to continue to run and the liberal advertising regulations were to continue to apply to these licensed gambling providers until the licenses expired. At the end of last year, the time had come. The term of these old licenses expired. The gambling supervisory authority and also the media institutions drew attention to the fact that TV advertising for these gambling services is now no longer legally possible. The TV stations completely stopped broadcasting their advertising for this purpose.

In February 2019, SH then made public its intention to revive the old licenses by summer 2021 through a transitional law. In the summer of 2021, a new State Gambling Treaty is then to be negotiated, in which SH would then also like to participate. SH would naturally like to try to enable online casino offers in this state treaty. Whether there will be an agreement of all states for this, however, is rather unclear.

In any case, SH announced in February 2019 that it would withdraw from the State Treaty on Gambling again by summer 2021 and revive its own law with regard to the licenses issued in 2011. This transitional law has now come into force in June 2019 and since then, according to Schleswig-Holstein gambling law, the organization and promotion of online casino games in SH is once again permitted. Since the nationwide channels are also broadcast there, they can also advertise for Schleswig-Holsteiners as long as all non-Schleswig-Holsteiners are sufficiently informed that they cannot play.

Whether this participation restriction really works and is also controlled by SH, the gambling supervisory authorities of other countries are currently trying to clarify. The media institutions can only take action against the TV broadcasters that broadcast these advertisements once the gambling law issues have been clarified by the gambling supervisory authorities of the federal states and the gambling offers have been enforceably prohibited.

The media institutions are in contact with the gambling supervisory authorities in this regard. The gambling supervisory authorities in Hamburg and Saarland are specifically examining whether to take action against the current advertising practices of SH gambling providers.

The problem is also seen that the TV advertisements not only advertise the gambling offers in SH, but at the same time indirectly also for the gambling umbrella brands for foreign offshoots of these offers. If at Google e.g. Wunderino or Mr. Green is entered, then one will find there fast also the foreign on-line gambling offers with same mark, which are forbidden then in Germany, also in SH definitely. The gambling supervisory authorities also want to take action against this. The Schleswig-Holstein gambling supervisory authority also sees itself in the duty here.

Best regards

To be honest, I don't really understand it.

How can something that is illegal be advertised?

Personally, I don't really watch free TV anymore, but when I do, I get really upset about it, because the gaming kids of today barely have a sense of reality anyway.

And on top of that the smartphone generation...

I'm sure there will be a lot of debts thereby..

Limits set but hardly a person does before the first deposit..

Much worse than TV advertising I find what goes on Twitch!
People who have thousands of viewers can advertise casinos on Twitch without any restrictions!
I do not want to know how many young people and minors fall into gambling addiction.
And the streamers still earn stupidly from the suffering of other people!

In my opinion, no one is forced to register at the casino. Whether there is now advertising on television for it interests me zero. You don't have to watch it and even if you do, you have to register in the casino with all your personal data.
Who then does that should know what he is doing, regardless of whether it was now advertised.

I am, for example, my whole life non-smoker and have not started smoking because of it when there was earlier still advertising for it, for example, in the cinema or television.

The same with alcohol. Alcohol advertising is also on television - but that doesn't mean that everyone becomes an alcoholic because of it.

A certain self-control and self-responsibility belongs in all possible situations in life - so in other words, no one forces others to do so, if someone registers in a casino and deposits money there, he does so voluntarily.

This is of course only my personal opinion !

Alcohol is also not illegal so but can be advertised for gambling, but gambling is illegal (so they say yes) then I wonder why it is advertised and also tolerated

You just have to see it economically, even if the whole world is against it, as long as people earn money from it, everyone turns a blind eye.

For me, these are disgusting people without honor and pride and who would sell their own mother for money, who poisons the youth to make profit from it, is just a disgusting man and there we all see how many there are!
Too bad for many of us who have a problem with it, and those who still get many problems because of it will.... what you could have done with the time and all the money...
Buy a house...
World trip.
Donate to poor people and children
And so much more
Let us all think more...
This lobysten shit and the kurpten politicians who do not know what is happening in reality, and what the small politicians have to go through is the garnicht conscious, what is happening is the very last
But honestly I want to Ran garnicht to me Ran lasen because me the dermaßen wüttent makes what is happening here, and that's not good...
This TV advertising has made me so aggro at the beginning because Twitch is what and TV is what, that's awesome TV reaches the masses less in advertising but they have much more money, Twitch Viewer more mass but in the end little % with a lot of money ...

And what they say there but only shows that iwelche economic people control this country and not the people, and here is also no policy for the people who live here but only for the "elite" made
So I think about what you think or means is of course left to you
Hope you had fun reading 😫

Well, I think that a young person does not have all the characteristics developed accordingly. That's why most people start addictions young. They lack experience and in some things they are simply naive. And before you've had that experience, you're already in the hole.

And even when you are more mature, you can still fall for the deception.

I think most of us sneak through life more bad than good (mine now financially), I started out of curiosity (that's the most common start, no matter what, whether alcohol, cigarettes or other drugs) and immediately won big.

Without the advertising, I would not have realized that Online Casinos even exist.

My son recently came up to me and said: "Hey mom, play in the online casino You Tuber XY makes there easily 30,000.

Great
