Message: [QUOTE="GERSteven, post: 6701962, member: 488653"] [HEADING=2]Sports betting, lottery, online casino: Luckily with SCHUFA! [/HEADING] [HEADING=3]With the new birth date check, SCHUFA is expanding its offering for more player and youth protection for the online gaming market. With this educational initiative, SCHUFA is providing more information on the subject of gambling. [/HEADING] [B] Lottery, sports betting, casinos and much more: Gambling is widespread in society [/B] The many players are “people like you and me”: According to a [URL='https://www.bzga.de/fileadmin/user_upload/PDF/studien/BZgA-Forschungsbericht_Gluecksspielsurvey_2019.pdf'] study by the Federal Center for Health Education, 75 percent of 16 to 70-year-olds in Germany have [/URL] already played a game of chance (at least) once. Around 38 percent of the German population spends money on gambling every month. These include lotto, sports betting, casinos and much more. A quarter of gamblers spend more than 50 euros per month on gambling. [B] Sports betting, online casinos and lottery: The rules are in the Interstate Gambling Treaty [/B] On July 1, 2021, the Interstate Treaty on Gambling (GlüStV) came into force. It stands for a nationwide, uniform, legal and market-compliant new regulation of the gaming sector in Germany. In particular, it regulates requirements for player and youth protection as well as the legalization of online gambling, which was prohibited until then in Germany. SCHUFA is very involved in the area of player and youth protection. With various services for sports betting providers. [B] SCHUFA comes into play with these three points: [/B] [LIST] [*] [B] Identity verification in gambling by SCHUFA [/B] The Interstate Gambling Treaty states unequivocally that digital identities in online gambling must be securely verified. To do this, a player must register with the organizer with details of their first name, last name, birth name, date of birth, place of birth and place of residence. With the SCHUFA Premium identity check and the new product [B] [URL='https://www.schufa.de/unternehmen/leistungen/identitaet/'] SCHUFA birth data check, [B] SCHUFA [/B][/URL][B] [/B] supports identity and age verification in a matter of seconds[URL='https://www.schufa.de/unternehmen/leistungen/identitaet/']. [/URL] [/B] In addition, this ensures that only one customer account is set up per player. This is what the Interstate Gambling Treaty requires. · [*] [B] Credit rating from SCHUFA protects gamblers Players [/B] must provide proof of their economic capacity from a gaming bet of 1,000 euros per month. This is intended to protect players from major financial losses. The consequences of gambling addiction are not unproblematic: It is not uncommon for problems in the family or at work, as money is borrowed but not repaid. Total financial loss or even criminal action to obtain financial resources are the most extreme consequences. [/URL]According to a [URL='https://gluecksspiel.uni-hohenheim.de/fileadmin/einrichtungen/gluecksspiel/Oekonomie/SozialeKostenDesGluecksspiels_Internet.pdf'] study by the University of Hohenheim, the costs for the German economy as a result of addictive or problematic gambling amount to a total of 326 million euros per year. With the [B] SCHUFA gambling report, players [/B] can prove their own creditworthiness in order to be able to make further gaming bets or, if their credit rating is too low, to be protected against such bets. [*] [B] Regular review of gambling customer data [/B] Another requirement of the Interstate Gambling Treaty is that personal data of registered existing players must be checked again by gaming providers in a regular cycle to ensure that they are up to date, i.e. no later than 12 months after the initial registration or last data check. Here too, the [B] [URL='https://www.schufa.de/unternehmen/leistungen/identitaet/'] SCHUFA identity check supports [/B][/URL][B] [/B] gaming providers with a suitable solution. [/LIST] [B] Do SCHUFA gambling products influence the SCHUFA score? [/B] One important question still remains: Do these tests influence the general SCHUFA score? No SCHUFA gaming products have no influence on a further credit rating. Only the information that a gaming provider has requested information from SCHUFA and, if applicable, which score was transmitted is saved. This is for transparency vis-à-vis users. [B] Knowledge can protect: SCHUFA provides information about gambling [/B] You should challenge your luck wisely. That is why we also address the topic of gambling as part of our “Wirtschaftswerkstatt” educational initiative.
