I don't think so. Each of us would look for other options. Then it just goes back to the gambling houses, pubs, takeaways, gas stations, etc. And anyone who earns less than 1% of the population will be just as likely to lose their fortune there. Anyone who really has problematic or addictive gambling behavior will look for other options. How fast is an average or above average salary gambled away at gastro or gambling machines? 500€ or more average loss per day is also easily possible there. 10.gambling away € 000 - € 20,000 per month is no problem at all, and you don't have to make much of an effort to do so. Loss possibilities are high, but the prospect of a really high profit is also not given. Unfortunately, this does not deter gambling addicts. I used to get through my salary in 2 days in the gambling house. If I won, it was gone in 3 or 4 days.

It would only be nice if gambling were completely banned or if the online gambling market were completely legalized and properly regulated with a central blocking system for German players. Even a complete ban would probably not protect the hardcore gambling addicts properly, as they would then really play somewhere illegally or play in Curacao casinos with Bitcoins. But a complete ban would at least greatly reduce new cases.

But a complete ban will never come, because they would be against the state and also against the interests of the two big gambling companies (Gauselmann & Novomatic), which have a strong lobby in Germany.

Gauselmann finds it relatively easy to withdraw, as Merkur games are probably among the worst implemented slot games in online casinos. I can't think of any technically worse slots off the top of my head and I think everyone here in the forum will hardly play Merkur online anymore because of that. Thus, the monopolists in Germany (Merkur & Novomatic) no longer have to face foreign competition. Both game developers have little chance of great success abroad and are only noticed on the sidelines. Merkur is virtually not noticed at all.

A ban on online gambling implemented in practice would probably be the worst case scenario from the point of view of almost all players. The best thing would be legalization and clever regulation!

One could, for example, require Online Casinos to verify German players at the time of registration. You could set up a central blocking system that prevents blocked or underage players from registering anywhere.

Sure, it certainly wouldn't do GambleJoe any good at first. But if you put work into it, GJ can be set up internationally and maybe it would even do GJ good financially in the long run. Since we also have other projects, it would be hard for us in the short term, but not threatening our existence and therefore not so bad for us from this point of view.

I also do not believe that the industry with Merkeur, Novomatic and Co. stands or falls.One will quickly look for other operators - licensors.The question is, however, whether the story could now trigger a kind of "landslide".Whether banks that carry out payment activities for casinos, perhaps come to think and check their activities for legal security.The one or other (not addicted) players could also come to the idea of the rollers at least so long to rest until the situation has calmed down or finally clarified.llein ürde the casinos already bring millions of lost revenue.I hope not that the Caribbean casinos in the situation are the laughing third - because it does not care anyway what is allowed or not.
GambleJoe, however, will survive any crisis in the industry well - I'm sure of it!

Therefore, on the one hand introduce Red Hot Firepot and on the other hand close casinos. What a bullshit. Everything will continue as before. Only the state, the sow, earns even more than before

I wouldn't be surprised if Online Casinos are completely banned in Germany soon. Then I would not be able to play Immortal Romance anymore.

Personally, I don't care how the games are implemented, they should bring me money. And Merkur I play unfortunately only since 3 months...But there I can win with small stakes, quite a lot. The games that are beautifully designed are of little use to me if they ultimately only rob me of my money, but do not bring any wins...If Merkur really disappears from the online market, that would be hard for me. I will never enter an arcade, I have never....

Bullshit. Where there is money to be made, nothing is ever changed against it
