According to the opinion of the European Commission Germany violates EU trade policies by standing behind the monopolies within the German market.

The debate between Germany and the European Commission is constant, though there is a German treaty that would open the online casinos market in 2008. But it’s hard to say what will happen to the German market over the next 12 months as the feasibility of the proposed treaty and the effect it would have on internet gambling and betting is being speculated on.

To note: most analysts agree that though the German online casino related companies may fight the Treaty, still it is inevitable.
