During the members meeting Wulf Hambach was elected to the board of the “Deutscher Verband für Telekommunikation und Medien e.V.” – DVTM (German Association for Telecommunication and Media). He accepted the election and is pleased to hold office for a future-proof gambling market in Germany:
“I am delighted to now be able to contribute as a member of the DVTM board to designing the online-based sector of sweepstakes and games of chance in Germany, which is underdeveloped under regulatory aspects, in a way which prepares it for the future. The industry is striving to achieve a convergent regulation of the online gaming market in Germany. The focus here is on a fair balancing of interests between consumer protection, politics and providers. Together with the DVTM, I intend to promote a consumer-oriented, legally safe regulation of the German online gaming market which complies with the requirements of EU law.”
DVTM’s members include companies from the media branch such as British Telecommunications (Germany) GmbH & Co. oHG and RTL interactive GmbH as well as e.g. PokerStars.de and Tipico Co. Ltd. from the gaming industry.
