British gambling ban system GamStop with record figures

Anyone who gambles on slot machines or places sports bets in Germany will almost certainly be familiar with the OASIS player blocking system. GamStop can be seen as the British counterpart to this - and it was here that impressive figures were recently reported.

This was underpinned by its sponsorship of the European Football Championship 2024, among other things. Many of us know the company as an Austrian sports betting provider. But not everyone knows that: The bookie, together with its Greek parent company Kaizen Gaming, is getting involved in more and more markets worldwide. Just recently, partnerships were announced for two more international UEFA tournaments.

Alleged lottery winner is cheated out of €30,000

The big dream of every lottery player is to hit the jackpot once and then be set for life. When the time really comes (or seems to come), the enormous joy and amazement of hitting the jackpot can cause even the most rational gambler to lose their mind. It is precisely this exceptional situation that fraudsters are currently increasingly exploiting. In a particularly serious case that recently occurred in Baden-Württemberg, criminals scammed a whopping 30,000 euros!

Update: Smoking ban in Saarland's gaming arcades temporarily cancelled

Gambling regulations in Germany are anything but easy to keep track of - and sometimes even legislators only seem to realise in retrospect that certain decisions are not entirely consistent. A case in point is the absolute smoking ban in gambling halls in Saarland. In contrast to these establishments, casinos here are allowed to have special smoking rooms, which prompted a casino operator to lodge a complaint. Following the legal ruling in favour of the plaintiff, a transitional solution has now actually been decided for all stationary slot machine providers in the state.

Scratch cards in the focus of Czech gambling researchers

Scratch cards are also a perennial favorite among games of chance in Germany. Compared to the Czech Republic, however, the fan base in our latitudes is tiny. The small, colorful cards with the winning fields to scratch off are actually considered the most widespread game of chance among our neighbors. Scratch cards are practically ubiquitous - and this is precisely what has now brought gambling research onto the scene: It is suspected that there is an often overlooked potential for addiction here.

The ‘king of vending machines’ goes into well-deserved retirement at the age of 90. After 67 years at the helm of his own company, Paul Gauselmann is bidding farewell to the Merkur Group's top management. But what prompted the successful entrepreneur to stay with the gaming group for so long?

But no smoking ban in Saarland amusement arcades?

The fact that tobacco smoke can be unhealthy not only for active smokers, but also for people in their immediate vicinity seems to be sufficiently proven. This is why smoking in public places is now completely banned almost everywhere in Germany. The so-called adjoining room exception can be used as a loophole in some federal states - including Saarland. However, as the local gaming arcades were excluded from this by the new gaming arcade law, one operator took legal action and was proved right. However, the Automaten-Verband-Saar warns against jumping to conclusions.

BFH confirms: Betting tax also applies to EU providers

The German betting tax provides plenty of material for discussion and is always a key issue for both bettors and bookmakers. The bookies are reluctant to pay it and the players can't stand having it imposed on them by the providers, with their winnings dwindling. A recent ruling by the Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) confirms the current legal situation: the tax on sports betting levied by bookmakers without a German licence is compatible with the German constitution and European law.

What is curious is that the topic seems to be uncharted territory for German clubs and even DFB officials. This was revealed in a recent TV documentary by public broadcasters. The report takes a comprehensive look at such betting, in which so-called data scouts play a central role. These information providers for the bookies are now receiving increased attention from the clubs and associations.
