I didn't know where else to put it. This is an image+ article and so I'm copying the text in here and not just linking it.
It is the greatest invasion of privacy of the citizen.
The planned gambling supervisory authority. The is to monitor all German gamblers from July 2021 in the course of the State Gambling Treaty. BILD knows the first details.
The personal data of the player (name, date of birth, place of birth, address), "amount and date of deposits made", the "total amount of deposits made" are to be stored. A maximum Deposit of 1000 euros per month is permitted across all providers. Completely unworldly: it will no longer be permitted from July 2021 to be logged into different sports betting providers at the same time. That's what it says in the draft for the State Gambling Treaty, which BILD has.
So that the player does not play in parallel, there is to be a five-minute "cool-down phase". Means: the player places a live bet on a home win with bookmaker X, but then wants to bet on corners. However, this is not possible with the bookmaker. So he has to wait five minutes until he is allowed to log in to another bookmaker. And if a corner has been whistled by then? Bad luck!
Everything is monitored by the gambling supervisory authority! When gamblers bet five euros on a Bayern win in a round with friends in the evening, the state finds out. Is that compatible with data protection? At least the North Rhine-Westphalian data protection commissioner, Helga Block, is skeptical about the plan. Block: "However, all players are recorded here, even those without addiction problems. The amount of data from all gambler accounts centrally at one authority will be enormous. The question here is: Is all this necessary and appropriate?"
Lawyer Dr. Ronald Reichert (57) to BILD: "Channeling into the legal market will not work, at least for online casinos. Lawsuits are pre-programmed with the contract. Above all, I am very critical of the monster database for recording gaming behavior. This is a completely unnecessary entry into the surveillance state in recreational gambling."
And there's another problem: the immense amount of data involved. According to BILD info, more than 1000 bets are placed in Germany on a Bundesliga match day - per second! A gigantic amount of data. Currently, several federal states are arguing about the location of the authority, which is at least 300 strong: Saxony-Anhalt, Hesse, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein, Baden-Württemberg and NRW.
