The saga of the legalization of online casino games in
Schleswig-Holstein continues to unfold in a dramatic way. This week members of
the new ruling coalition have brought a bill to the government that calls for
the northern state to rejoin the other German states under the country’s
Gambling Treaty.
The main issue is that the state has already issued a number
of online casino games licenses to various top online casinos and is still
considering more applications.
As the new ruling coalition holds a small majority over the
government, they are being cautious on this issue. Interior Minister Andreas
Breitner. who brought the legislation to the government said that the process
to pass it could be quite long as it first needs to go through European
Commission approval. It could be three months or beyond before any change is
made.
In the waiting period, the law that upholds the right of
some the best online casinos to operate within the German state will be
enforced. Schleswig-Holstein will continue to give licenses and review
applications. The licenses that have already been awarded are in place for six
years.
There have already been some top online casinos that have
issue with the process in the country. A couple of operators have gone to court
over delays over the application process.
