On March 4, 2016, the European Court of Justice has again ruled on German Sports Betting regulation (C-336\/14). It is important to notice that since 2012 a new interstate treaty on gambling is in place, enabling operators \u2013 at least theoretically \u2013 to apply for a license. The licensing procedure, however, came to a de facto standstill due to court injunctions (recently: Upper Administrative Court of Hessen \u2013 8 B 1028\/15).

Sponsoring and Advertising remain legal (under conditions to be met).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On March 4, 2016, the European Court of Justice has again ruled on German Sports Betting regulation (C-336\/14).
