Germany’s Interstate gambling regime faces a potential loss in betting turnover to unregulated operators of €300m-to-€400m during the FIFA World Cup.
The estimate of up to €400 million in lost betting turnover during the World Cup has been highlighted by Deutscher Sportwettenverband (DSWV), the trade association representing Germany’s licensed online sportsbooks. The DSWV is urging regulators and Bundesländer to address the structural deficiencies within the current gambling framework to prevent this significant financial impact.
