There is currently a large flow of information on the regulation of online gambling in Australia - and yet we are still in a gray zone. Sports betting on the internet are in Australia, even if with restrictions, allowed and in Schleswig Holstein, online casinos with a license of the federal state are also allowed. Everything else is tolerated so far and has been in the floating for years, as ultimately goes on. Previously, the "illegal" online casinos were accused for delays and disagreements of the federal states. Obviously, the EU looks different. Now a blue letter flutter from Brussels, which appeals to existing legislation and incompetence in Australia. In addition, the EU Commission now wants to know how it continues, as it applies to a European law-compliant solution.
GOers from Australia can continue to play in the online casino
First, we can give all the design as always. GOers from Australia are still allowed and will continue to be in the future OnlineCasino with a valid European license are allowed to play. Also, players can not be liable for a perception of the gambling offering of a legitimate online casinos. In Schleswig-Holstein, the licenses issued by the state.
The previous approach in Australia
The state Schleswig-Holstein Was the first one who has already pleaded uniform regulation since the beginning of the Gambling State Treaty and has declared the recorded points of the original contract for non-competitive and almost ridiculous. After a good year, SH now gives tailwind from other federal states - most of Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Instead, Saxony, Brandenburg and Lower Saxony maintain the current ban. Measures by the Lower Saxony authorities were plotted in the form of cash shops to financial service providers. In any case, unity is needed for a transnational solution, otherwise it may be that regulation is again separately, as in the years before SH - only this time several federal states are integrated.
What do you learn from this? In recent years, the debt allocation of authorities to online casinos were taken over again and again at that time the operator - if at all - only a partial debt. Now the EU Commission seems to have recognized that not online casinos are guilty of the previous debacle, but that the federal states in Australia simply come to no agreement.
What happens in disagreement?
In the case of a disagreement regarding gambling regulation in Australia, federal states have the option of joining a procedure to join the new law or not. As a result, the legislation for gambling on the Internet in Australia would be redistributed and unclear.The misery here is that federal citizens barely understand can, whether perfectly played legally or, if you still stay in a gray zone. A decision would therefore be enormously important! Good that the EU is now targeting pressure.
Conclusion: A well-known hat
For years - over 10! - Australia does not manage to regulate the highly growing gambling market so that unity and EU conformity is given. Either direct guidelines are placed, which are not recognized by the EU and thus are not legitimate or a uniform Innovious opinion does not occur at all and there are altitudes as previously with Schleswig-Holstein.
In October, it will show that all regulatory attempts are lost in the Sanden or ultimately all draw together in a strand.
