De Gruyter - Glucksspiel in Deutschland: Okonomie, Recht, Sucht

Explore the complex landscape of German gambling law with this professional resource from De Gruyter. This book examines the legal and economic frameworks that shape the industry, beginning with the landmark Federal Constitutional Court decision on sports betting from March 28, 2006. This ruling clarified the constitutional requirements for gambling and tasked the legislature with creating new regulations. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the legal shifts that occurred when the new gambling law went into effect on January 1, 2008. The text analyzes how the objectives of addiction prevention and addiction control serve as the basis for gambling monopolies. These regulations effectively manage the market by excluding private gambling providers from the German market. This book provides essential context for anyone studying the intersection of law, economics, and social responsibility within the German gambling sector.
