Controls in gambling: Treptow-Köpenick notes defects

In a comprehensive blow to the legal gambling, the State Criminal Police Office, together with the tax administration and the regulatory office Treptow-Köpenick, recently started a large-scale control program in the capital! The results of this campaign are anything but clear.

While the numbers appear promising at first glance, the report includes both light and shadow! Out of 16 checked gambling companies, 15 caught up with the strict regulations on the protection of minors - a clear victory for the efforts to protect our young people! But a single violation was enough to let the alarm bells shrill: In a company, young people were granted access to gaming equipment.

Criticism of player protection and commercial regulations

However, the darkness quickly absorbs when you look at compliance with the player protection regulations. Out of 13 other controlled locations, serious violations of the regulations were found in ten cases! This applies not only to the game regulation, but also the pricing regulation and the non -smoking protection law - a clear violation of the rules that should ensure fair competition!

"We take these violations very seriously!" Said the authorities. Corresponding procedures have already been initiated and the affected companies have to expect considerable consequences! The aim of these rigorous measures is to create a game environment that is safe and fair.

expert support from the tax administration

In addition, the Berlin tax administration was actively involved in the control campaigns! With her specialist knowledge, she helped reading data from money profit machines. This collaboration is intended to prevent future violations and strengthen the trust of citizens in the gambling industry.

The balance sheet of the controls clearly shows that the fight for a fair gambling in Berlin is in full swing! It remains to be seen whether the measures have an effect and those responsible are finally held accountable!
