GGL board member says state treaty evaluation must test goal achievement

Summary

GGL board member Ronald Benter told the University of Hohenheim's 23rd gambling symposium that the evaluation of the 2021 state gambling treaty must focus on whether it met its goals. He said evidence is needed to justify departing from legislators' 2020 decisions, and that GGL supervision and market monitoring show no clear deviation from the treaty's intent. The GGL cited a channelling rate of about 77% for online gambling, recently confirmed by a study.
