DOCV (Deutscher Online Casinoverband) and local lawyer Michelle Hembury of Melchers Law believe an updated Interstate Treaty could address IP blocking, as well as deposit and stake limit confusion.

Speaking during a webinar informing on Germany’s Interstate Treaty on Gambling update, DOCV Vice President Simon Priglinger-Simader said the GGL (Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder) could amend current deposit and slot stakes limits rules.

Back in December 2023, an interim evaluation of the Interstate Treaty was launched to assess the effectiveness of current regulations and make recommendations for improvements. Some of these suggestions are likely to be adopted by the federal states when they amend the law this year.
