Zusammenfassung: | <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> This paper compares the two laws effective for the regulation of gambling in Germany from an economic perspective. On the one hand there is the new and relatively liberal federal Gaming Amendment Act of Schleswig- Holstein (GAA) and on the other hand the German State Treaty on Gambling (GST), which was signed by the remaining 15 German federal states. First, two goals are derived that should be pursued by the regulation of gambling realization of tax revenues and the reduction of problem gambling. Channeling gambling into the regulated market is a necessary condition to achieve both objectives. As the GAA can be expected to realize a higher degree of channeling due to more competitive tax rates as well as the inclusion of online poker and casinos, it appears to be overall superior to the GST. It is in particular incomprehensible that online poker and casinos are not included in the GST, since on one side they have a high potential for addiction and should thus be regulated and on the other side allow to generate higher tax revenues compared to sports betting for example.</jats:p> |
