British companyGVC Holdings officially appealed to the German authorities with a proposal for the phased adoption of updated legislation in the field of gambling. The corporation is worried that the rapid implementation of the new regulations could cause significant harm to the German gambling business.

It is worth noting that the opening of the regulated gambling market in Germany is scheduled for July 1, 2021, subject to the ratification of the agreement by a number of federal states and the European Commission.

The main stumbling block in the way of the official adoption of the document is local operators, currently operating in an unregulated market.

GVC intervened in this situation, offering its own model for controlling this business. According to the company, their addition to the law on gambling will allow the introduction of new legislation in five stages. This is based on the requirement that potential license applicants fully comply with future legislation.

GVC proposes that each operator be fully assessed internally to verify its ability to meet the requirements set out in the document.

GVC Director of Market Regulation Martin Likka commented on this situation: “The aim of the new state agreement is to direct the development of gambling services in Germany towards licensed operators. We believe that in this case, the protection of players and the fight against addiction will have clear guarantees. GVC shares this goal and does its best. To achieve it, the regulation of the gambling business must be transferred to the new model that we proposed to the government. casino from August 24.
