Ronald Benter, Chairman of Germany’s regulator GGL, has reassured that better days are coming for the gambling sector after years of tricky regulatory adjustments.
At the December Online Gaming Summit Europe 2025, Benter touched on the regulatory prospects ahead of the licensed market which is currently in the process of revising the Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021).
“The GGL is a young authority. Within just two years, we have built up systems that are unique in this form in Germany – and perhaps also internationally,” he said.
Evaluation of the GlüStV 2021 is scheduled to conclude by the end of 2026 – with the core goal of introducing measures that would strengthen the effectiveness of player protection, advertising, channelisation rates and countering of the black market.
