German legal column questions SCHUFA-G checks and warns of black-market risks
A legal commentary on Germany’s SCHUFA-G affordability checks argues that recent court decisions leave the system’s suitability unresolved and do not require its immediate replacement. The authors say the existing process should be assessed against player protection, legal-market participation and potential black-market effects, alongside the statutory evaluation.
Operators face uncertainty over whether replacing SCHUFA-G would improve affordability checks without pushing players towards unregulated offers.
