There has been intense pressure on mounting on the Hesse ministry of interior and Sports (HMDIS) for them to come up with another structure when it comes to the framework in sports betting. The regulatory body has been receiving plenty of criticisms pertaining legislation processes.

The German Green Party was the last critics when it came to the framework. There were statements claiming that HMDIS should get rid of the 20 license cap and have the licensing provisions that are based on the operators fulfilling the required quality requirements and not coming up with their policies which are set to a number of bookmarkers that have been pre-qualified by the regulator.

The Green Party came to learn that they would be supporting all their attempts to change the framework to sports betting which was developed by the HMDIS.

Their support for the reform emanated from June’s news that the European Court of Justice would carry out investigations on the legislative procedure after complaints from the European operators that HMDIA was breaching the interstate competition practices and business policies on best practises.

Media houses from Germany have delivered reports that about 80 operators had sent in quest to acquire 20 HMDIS licenses. The ones who had their application rejected complained that the regulator did not have any detailed reports on why they had rejected the applications.

The Luxembourg based ECJ court is expected to have their verdict from their finding delivered by September.

Analysts from the industry believe that the reforms to Germany will be passed. They also believe that the operators who aim at entering the market need to look forward to further delays to the implementations of the frameworks.

This tension came to be in April when the sports betting licensing came to a detour after the resignation of a sports advisory body that was tasked with helping the gaming regulators in achieving their mandate.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodwell described this as family reunion and said that fantasy sees people come together for fun as they enjoy football. McCarthy echoed these words by saying that generally fantasy football is a non gambling event that entails skills of the game.

Nevertheless, despite all this, NFL was on the front line in cancelling fantasy football conference that was scheduled for 10-12 July at the non-gambling Las Vegas site the Sands Expo. The expected in attendance included Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

It has been a long debate on whether the legalization of fantasy to eventually take place in New Jersey. However, before this is full considered, the judges will have to prove beyond doubt that it would cater for the interest of the game or would concentrate on making huge profits. With the ongoing trend in terms of relation between reality and fantasy betting, there is a high possibility that New Jersey will be accorded with what it desires and this would in turn be a focal point as the whole United States will be guaranteed fantasy betting.

It is however believed that fantasy betting popularity would be low in U.S as many prefer betting on real betting. According to the 1992 federal law passed by Congress, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), it was deemed illegal despite it being staged in selected outlets such as Las Vegas. This didn’t however ban fantasy betting as various states were given mandate to decide on whether to incorporate it or not.

Diehard gamblers, sports fan and betting firms have claimed that Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) a new format of fantasy sport betting is less than real betting. Their reason for this is that in order to have a potential outcome with good profit in DFS, one has to go through a learning process in attempt to achieve some statistical data of the sport. This means that those who just select teams and players without second thought find themselves losing more than they can imagine. There is uncertainty among others who believe that this is gambling as one is placing cash on unsure result with a motive of winning some extra money from it.

In New Jersey, mixed reactions have been evident for a long time now. Back in 2011, populace of the state voted in for legalization of all sports betting in attempt to increase state’s revenue from its’ main gambling city; the Atlantic City. However, the process seemed to defy federal rules and the state government decided to tighten their rules in keep betting locked up. However, this didn’t stop New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, with the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, which owns Monmouth Park racetrack in Oceanside to file an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Up to now, the judges have yet to make an official statement on fantasy sports betting in New Jersey. However, many would prefer betting on real betting unlike the less informed fantasy betting. Even the president of Game Sports Networks Dan Orlow gives the state a 50/50 chance of being accorded with fantasy betting but claims that a “yes” would be much welcomed by him.
