BACK OFF, BAVARIA!

Online gambling group wins an important victory in Germany

A Munich court has hopefully put an end to an 8 month online gambling ban dispute waged by the Austrian listed sportsbetting company Bwin Interactive and the German state of Bavaria, ruling that it is "technically not possible" to ban online sportsbetting in the state.

The dispute has its genesis in an attempt by the state of Bavaria to ban online sportsbetting last September, claiming that only its own Bayern Lotto state lottery monopoly was legal gambling in the region. The ban was contested by Bwin.

Last week the Munich court ruled that it was not technically possible for Bwin to ban Bavarian gamblers, and criticised the Bavarian state case for not showing "...a single comprehensible and convincing way that sportsbetting companies can technically implement the ban".

It is not at this stage known whether Bavaria intends to appeal the ruling.
