DSWV defends GGL settlement over Schufa checks in Germany
Germany’s DSWV defended the GGL’s 2022 court settlement with sports betting operators after it was reportedly accused of being secret. The association said the settlement was recorded in public proceedings and its contents were published in an evaluation report in June 2024. DSWV also proposed tighter financial monitoring and more frequent Schufa checks.
The settlement concerns how operators may use Schufa data when assessing players’ ability to afford gambling.
