CDU Economic Council calls for German gaming treaty reform

Regulation49 minutes ago

The CDU Economic Council has called for a major revision of Germany’s 2021 State Treaty on Gaming, according to the report. Its position paper says online casino black-market activity is nearly 100% and that tax revenue from virtual slot games fell by more than half between 2021 and 2024.
