Tipp24 AG's petition
October 27, 2008, 10:04 am (3 years ago)Tipp24 AG's petition to the German Federal Constitutional Court on restraints to its business activities produced by the State Treaty on Gaming did not succeed, as said by an announcement from the company this week.
Tipp24 had complained in opposition to stipulations of the Treaty which intervened with Internet brokerage lotteries and permits, prohibited Internet lottery advertising and localized constraints by 2 of the 16 German states (Berlin and Lower Saxony) party to the Treaty.
The 2nd Chamber of the First Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court decided in opposition to Tipp24 on 14 October 2008, notifying the company this week of its ruling not to accept a constitutional complaint.
The court decided that "the strict interference with the constitutionally protected freedom of profession was validated and reasonable considering the legislative intent to ban and fight gambling addiction."
