CDU-linked Economic Council proposes changes to German gambling treaty
The CDU-linked Economic Council has proposed changes to Germany’s 2021 State Treaty on Gambling, including streamlined licensing and regular reviews of individual rules. Its recommendations also call for balancing player protection with adult choice and strengthening efforts against illegal gambling; an evaluation of the treaty is due to conclude by year-end.
The proposals could shape the CDU’s position as Germany evaluates its gambling framework.
