ONLINE NEWS Prima talks Germany I
n light of the upcoming draft legislation outlining plans for the regulation of the German market, Country Manager for Prima Networks Limited, Daniela Caserotto, has released this comment: “The regulation of the German online gaming sector is gathering pace and its completion will present exciting new opportunities across the industry. The specific details of how the market will look are currently unclear, but the move towards regulation is an extremely exciting prospect for Prima Networks and its software provider Microgaming.” “Germany is Europe’s largest economy and with a population of over 80 million and an established casino culture, the country is an attractive market for providers and operators alike. It has an excellent technological infrastructure, internet penetration of 81.85% and mobile phone penetration of over 100%, all of which bode well for a very successful regulated online gaming market. With an agreement on the restructure of the state gambling monopoly likely to be announced towards the end of 2011, we are hopeful a gambling treaty could come into force in early 2012.”
