The German Gambling Congress is planned for the end of June 2024 in Berlin
The German Gambling Congress will take place on June 26th and 27th, 2024, organized by glueckspielwesen.de. This congress once again brings together those responsible from the gaming sector, science and politics to discuss the gaming regulations. One meeting again between the representatives of these areas is of great importance, as the gaming regulations must be continuously updated and adapted to the constantly changing market conditions. The discussions will focus in particular on player protection in German-speaking countries, which has recently been severely affected by the growth of the black market.
The organizers hope that the congress will bring clarity to the current situation and offer possible solutions to the existing challenges. Participants will discuss various topics, including measures to strengthen player protection, the regulation of gambling and the fight against the illegal market. It remains to be seen whether the German Gambling Congress will provide concrete solutions to the current problems. Nevertheless, this meeting is an important step towards shaping the future of gambling in German-speaking countries responsibly and ensuring a safe and transparent market. The following items are on the agenda:
The gambling posse – where is the journey going?
There's a lot going on in the world of gambling! A report will soon be released that says what will happen to gambling in German-speaking countries. Some want more advertising for casinos. Others think that less would be better. A few federal states are even planning to open virtual casinos themselves. That will be interesting!
When the black sheep becomes the norm
You hear about illegal gambling all the time. This is not only the case in real casinos, but also on the Internet. But are legal games actually good enough? Or are the illegal games just too tempting? The politicians aren't so sure. They think about what they can do about it.
Treasures or shards? The loot box debate
Do you know Loot boxes? These are little boxes in computer games. Sometimes there's great stuff in there, sometimes not. In other countries they are already considered gambling. Researchers say loot boxes can be addictive to children. Politicians are thinking about whether the boxes should be banned. Lets see what happens!
Fun or protective shield?
The arcade operators want new rules for their games. But what is more important: that players have fun or that they play safely? Some say we need stricter rules. Others prefer to leave everything as it is. The politicians should decide. That will be fun!
