Although it seems no changes will be made in the lottery sector, the leaders of these states communicated in their recent annual meeting that they would support online gaming, quitting the Inter-state Gaming Treaty that expires at the ending of 2011.
The support to those changes in gaming policies by other states can be seen based on the decisión that must be taken by the highest Administrative German Court next November 24th, which will determine how the latest rulings of the Court of Justice of the EU must be applied in Germany.
The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that, in the German case, the gaming monopoly as well as in other European countries, would be justified if the consumers protection was extended to all games, someting that does not happen right now.
