WrB Germany returns to Frankfurt for its second edition on 27th June to track the challenges brought
about by the Interstate Treaty on Gambling and explore the difficulties faced by the industry in operating
in a now unified German context. With Schleswig-Holstein joining the other 15 Länder, the uncertainty of
how licensed Schleswig-Holstein operators will function on the German market remains and questions
surrounding the coherence and long-term durability of the Interstate Treaty on Gambling are still unanswered.
Join the decision-makers, regulatory authorities and leading operators and suppliers in Frankfurt to find
out what the German regulatory future will look like and whether the Interstate Treaty on Gambling will
be upheld against the mounting pressure from the EU institutions and the industry.
