Sports betting and betting providers are now omnipresent in the NBA. Hardly any other North American league incorporates such offers into its game operations to the same extent as the top basketball association in the USA. Several unusually high tips on certain player bets have now come to light, in which the professional in question is said to have been involved. Experts do not see this as an isolated case, but rather a far-reaching problem in which the strong connection between sport and sports betting could not be unconnected.

Last year, the Slovakians turned over a double-digit billion amount in sports betting. Although only around 5.5 million people live in the Slovak Republic, around 21.4 billion euros were invested in sports betting in 2023.

Pferdewetten.de, or Pferdewetten.de AG, is the largest German provider of horse betting and has also been active in the sports betting sector for years via partners.

But this is by no means the end of the story.

As a result, the industry association is calling for nothing less than a "reorganisation of regulation".

The gaming group from Espelkamp in North Rhine-Westphalia is thus continuing to pursue its strategy of focussing on the successful Merkur brand.
