The German Sports Betting Association rejects the proposal to ban advertising of sports betting via a online casino games ban. Next month, there will be a bill to ban advertising for sports betting. However, the German Sports Betting Association rejected this proposal before the bill could be officially submitted.
The German Senator Ullrich Maurer wants to submit the proposal of the ban on advertisements on sports betting in order to avoid gambling problems. In addition, this ban will mainly be proposed to make young adults less exposed to gambling.
However, the German Sports Betting Association claims that these measures will have an undesirable effect. Because it will help that people will move more into the black market of gambling if these advertisements are banned. The Association claims that advertising legal gambling companies will help to lead users to reliable and legal online casinos.
Mathias Dahms, president of the German sports betting Association, claims that all casinos admitted to the German market have been extensively checked and monitored. The same applies to the advertisements that these companies can show. This policy also ensures that gambling companies that do not have a license cannot advertise. The association therefore believes that more gambling-related problems will arise if Ullrich Maurer's bill is accepted. The Association Advocates a centrally regulated policy regarding sports betting related marketing.
