Abstract

The exclusion of gamblers is a measure of gambler protection. This paper aims at giving an overview of the current legal regulations for the exclusion of gamblers in Germany and its Federal States as well as its utilisation in Bavaria, one of the largest Federal States. Whereas exclusions for state-provided gambling are regulated nationwide by the State Treaty on Gambling, exclusions for commercially provided gambling are organised by each federal state separately. Due to the inconsistent legal basis for the exclusion of gamblers, excluded gamblers are able to circumvent their exclusion by using other forms of gambling or gambling venues. These factors should be addressed in the counselling or therapeutic context to facilitate abstinence of gambling. For a broad utilisation of exclusions, structural changes in the present organisation of exclusions are needed. A comprehensive exclusion system for both state-provided as well as commercially provided gambling is necessary. Furthermore, the acceptance of exclusions could be increased by reducing barriers and the introduction of transparent criteria for the revokement of exclusions.
