Hello all,

it is mentioned again and again that the accessible OCs in Germany are illegal, or it is a gray area.
But why is it allowed that advertising for OCs is broadcast on TV.
This is very hypocritical in my opinion.
What is your opinion on this?

I also find this strange and contradictory. The same goes for the huge billboards, e.g. of Mr. Green, which I have noticed several times. All this is seen by minors, who are so quickly polarized to how luxurious and dazzling this world is. They can't play for money in the OCs yet, but they can try it in fun mode. Alcohol advertising [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werbung#Alkoholwerbung] is also permitted, by the way.

According to Section 5 (3) GlüStV, gambling advertising via the Internet and television distribution channels is prohibited, whether legal or illegal. Of course, there are exceptions here again for state gambling providers such as Lotto or sports betting ...

Online casinos also do not advertise on television. Let's take Mr Green as an example. Mr. Green also advertised at the time, but did not advertise for the online casino, but for mrgreen.de. On the .de domain, however, you won't find any Games of chance, but only some free slots that you can play in fun mode.

Of course, the Online Casinos calculate that most users search for Mr. Green in Google and poof, there is the .com domain through which you can also play for real money. They don't even let Google crawl the .de domain, so it doesn't even appear when you search Google directly for the .de domain.

But cleverly packaged gambling ads have always existed. I'm sure that the Monarch's documentary (sweeping the cucumber) was a documentary commissioned by the vending industry with the goal of getting around the advertising ban. I think this "documentary" was much more dangerous for the generation of that time than any clumsy and annoying advertisement. Because there it was credibly suggested that you can become rich with gambling, if you only practice enough and have an eye for the boxes. The generation back then only had television, radio and newspapers, and people relied on these media much more than they do nowadays.

I mentioned it in another forum post, but the TV advertising is just the Tip of the iceberg.

If you look at the most popular sporting events such as big boxing matches or soccer games and etc, there is always an advertisement from some online casino since most are also official partners of the clubs ... and the casino domain so to speak also on the jerseys on it....

But I also believe that casinos are allowed to advertise on TV because they do not necessarily advertise for real money play ... but rather make subliminal advertising such as "Sign up today and play their favorite games for FREE".

Sunmaker, for example, sponsors many football clubs - however, they do not advertise directly for the casino but for the bets. In England, this has long been common practice (as a shirt sponsor)

On TV, as Daniel already wrote, they always advertise for the .de domain. That is, for the Just4Fun play without money ...;)

Yes Rizk is also well represented there ...who has Sky (like me) sees their spot every day !
Although they also advertise for free play but find here also intentions that seem very hypocritical to me!

Because everyone who then plays in fun mode will pay in the short term then times money and so one is then possibly made dependent !?!

So it is, because this mode becomes boring at some point and a few days after the 18th birthday is then deposited. On the other hand, there are addicted adults who play for hours "for fun" to get away from it (as a methadone, so to speak) and discover the boredom of playing money. Quasar is so clever to limit this mode so that you Deposit and also other OCs constantly ask if you do not want to finally deposit money - transparent the whole thing.

Totally agree with you !
That's how it started for me with StarGames !

At the beginning only fun mode ...but also bought Stars and gambled BOR like a maniac (today I hate the game)

5 explorers in free spins had ...thousands of stars won and at some point came the moment when I then started to play with real money ...a vicious circle became of it !!!!

Belongs forbidden these ads and offers !!!!

Well it is unfortunately quite normal that all the sports events are financed by casinos and betting providers, you just have to look at the money volume of known sports.there are only a few large German companies that pay only rudimentary as much as betting providers... and those are ra... the Fc Bayern z.b. has with Audi believe a 60 million + deal a year ...since the small clubs / athletes etc also want to keep up they will also take the betting Provider who simply pays 50% more than the jute sponsor ... is just unfortunately so.should show people but rather how much profit is made with gambling at the moment ... these are billions which are then not even properly taxed ... so with the big provider remains there already ne menge hang.
