It was reportedly reported that the investigation that was developed by the Hesse Ministry of Interior and Sports (HMDIS) to the regulations of the Germany online sport betting seems to have hit a rock after they were scheduled for a later time. The investigation was to be undertaken by European Court of Justice Authorities (ECJ).

Many betting firms have been hiding behind authority’s rules and regulations and avoid heavy taxation which they claim would not be crucial for their profit making. Other land based operators have indulged in illegal betting in maximizing their profits. However how these acts are against the law, it has taken the efforts of the law enforcements in fighting off these illegal acts. It has been claimed that huge sums of money have been gained through illegal betting.

It was claimed that the investigation conducted by the ECJ had come up with verdict that several online betting firms should be stripped off their licenses while others had not fulfilled the requirements to be awarded licenses. The verdict was to be made public at the middle of September but this seems to have not be the case.

Lately, the ECJ claimed that it wouldn’t rush into its final conclusion concerning the issue and would extend its D-Day by a full month up to the 22^nd day of October. It is also claimed that the main reason for this delay would be attributed to the fact that both the EU and Industry insiders had not received an official decision from the ECJ and this would continue if a clear statement is not delivered.

It is not yet clear if the HMDIS framework will be adopted by the end of 2015. As a result several shareholders have been left in darkness as they are not sure if German online sports betting will be guaranteed its operations as other operators are not sure if they would reapply a new license.

Criticism have been raised all across the year on the operations of the HMDIS regulatory body. It all started in the Q1 of 2015 when the body claimed to issue 20 operators with licenses, however, this sparked critics towards the government which was accused of segregating few operators in the awarding of the licenses.

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.
