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.

This is not true at all. Everyone knows that in Online Casinos you get rid of your money much faster than elsewhere. Deposited and off you go. Then yet the high stakes that you can play. Well talk you do not need that at all. In gambling houses, pubs, etc. it takes a while until the money is booked over and if money is all, only once ATM looking... Of course, you lose a lot of money there too, no issue, but far from as fast as in online casinos... Should actually be completely banned. I would only advise everyone not to gamble in OC. In the beginning you win something sometimes and that also only so that you come back. You must always remember that such companies know exactly how to lure players. And believe me, I know what I am talking about. There is no site on which I have not gambled. You know, you can always Deposit and is immediately available but withdrawals always take a little time and you can cancel the amount at any time. And there's the rub. 90% of players go back online after a while to check if the withdrawal has been processed and if not, they keep taking amounts back to play. And so it goes on and on until the money is gone and you want to get the amount back again. And so it is with most and therefore I ask everyone to distance themselves from it. Rather treat yourselves to some of your money. After 13 years now I have finished with the whole thing and hope that others can do the same. Do not motivate yourselves here and talk well, because that gives you only worries and makes you broken in the long run. All the best and do not be motivated to play!
