German court imposes 'minor restrictions' on Internet bookmaker

BERLIN -- As reported by Reuters: "Austrian Internet bookmaker bwin Interactive Entertainment can continue to offer sports betting in Germany with minor restrictions after rulings by a German regional court published on Thursday."

"The company, embroiled in legal quagmire with several German states, can continue to operate in the former Communist East Germany under a licence issued days before German reunification in 1990, according to the court in the German state of Saxony."

"The court ruled that this licence also covered arranging bets over the Internet, a decision which could undermine German plans to outlaw Internet gambling in new legislation planned to become effective next year."
