GGL seeks wider powers to respond to illegal online gambling in Germany
Germany’s GGL is seeking greater authority to respond more quickly to illegal online gambling, its board member Ronald Benter said in a media interview. Benter said the ongoing evaluation of the State Treaty on Gambling could provide an opportunity for change, and the GGL also wants prosecutors to be able to pursue people offering illegal gambling to German users from abroad.
Broader powers could change how the GGL responds to illegal operators and how cross-border cases are pursued.
