German gambling roundup reports court dates, tax ruling and new partnerships
A German-language weekly roundup covers developments in gambling regulation, court proceedings, partnerships and lottery products. It says the Federal Court of Justice plans to announce rulings on online gambling repayment cases on 28 January 2027, and that the Hessian Administrative Court upheld Wiesbaden’s 7.5% gaming-machine tax. It also reports a two-year partnership between Merkur Spielbank Siegburg and Telekom Baskets Bonn, and an extension between Spielbank Hamburg and Veolia Towers Hamburg through the 2027/28 season.
The reported tax ruling and partnership terms affect gaming venues and their local commercial relationships.
