GGL and Germany’s Federal Drug Commissioner establish gambling-protection dialogue
Germany’s GGL and Commissioner for Drugs and Addiction Hendrik Streeck have agreed to maintain dialogue on player protection and gambling addiction. Their discussions included possible Criminal Code changes to strengthen enforcement against offshore gambling providers; the GGL said its review of the 2021 Interstate Gambling Treaty will be completed by the end of 2026.
The discussions could inform proposals on enforcement powers and the country’s gambling-protection framework.
