Casino Gambling in Germany Looks Promising for
World Cup
Gambling in Germany may start to look like the England betting scene
if a challenge in court to dethrone the monopolizing bookmaker, Oddset,
goes through. It looks likely that more betting companies will be
able to operate under fair conditions by the start of 2006 (when a
decision on the court case is made), which would be just in time
for the 2006 World Cup Soccer Tournament hosted in Germany.
Many are expecting the gambling scene to open up in Germany for
several reasons. First of all, there are many German bettors going
online - the demand is definitively there. Furthermore, Germany's
economy is not in the best of shape. Having a large number of willing
bettors may just help the economy if the government does more to
facilitate its gambling industry.
One promising area is in television betting. Premiere is a
successful cable channel that now broadcasts a variety of team sports on
its new channel, Premiere Win, which subscribers can then go online at
Betandwin (another large German based bookmaker) to place real money
wagers on. Currently, the station broadcasts a wide variety of
horse races and German soccer, and already has the rights to air all
sixty-four matches of the entire 2006 World Cup in Germany.
If all goes well in 2006, it may not be long before land-based and
online casino gambling become government regulated industries. The
World Cup will surely draw thousands of bets over the course of the
tournament, and will undoubtedly be one of the proving grounds for a
growing and potentially thriving casino and sports betting industry.
