Last month, the Court of Justice for the European Union (CJEU) ruled against the Germany's restrictive online gaming laws, which will likely require a complete overhaul of the country's gaming legislation. It appears many key players are already reacting to this news, as last week in Berlin the topic was discussed in detail at the German Association of Internet Businesses symposium.
According to GamingLaw.eu, the event was attended by a vast array of stakeholders, including industry and media representatives, legal experts, politicians, and academics.
Most of the stakeholders agreed that a complete overhaul was necessary with many favoring a proposal by Hesse Minister-President Peter Beuth, which includes a reasonable tax rate on gross gaming revenues and a removal of restrictions on the amount of licenses.
