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 constantly changing market conditions. Discussions will particularly focus on player protection in Germany, which has recently been severely impacted by the growth of the black market.
The organizers hope that the congress will provide clarity about the current situation and offer possible solutions to the existing challenges. Participants will discuss various topics, including measures to strengthen player protection, regulation of gambling and combating 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 Germany responsibly and ensuring a safe and transparent market. The following points are on the daily plan:
