Deutsche Glücksspielindustrie: Regulierter Markt

AM Europe

Die deutsche Glücksspielindustrie ist ein lukrativer Markt mit hohem Potenzial. Schätzungen zufolge soll der Online-Glücksspielmarkt bis 2024 5,65 Milliarden US-Dollar erreichen [Quelle: Statista ]. Allerdings zeichnet sich ein zwiespältiges Bild ab: Während der regulierte Markt hinter seinen Möglichkeiten zurückbleibt, floriert der illegale Glücksspielsektor. Regulierter Markt: Langsame Entwicklung mit großem Potenzial Deutschland hinkt im Vergleich zu anderen europäischen Ländern bei der Regulierung des Online-Glücksspiels hinterher. Im Gegensatz zu Großbritannien mit einem geschätzten Marktvolumen von 12,05 Milliarden Euro lag der Umsatz im legalen deutschen Markt 2023 schätzungsweise nur bei 4,8 Milliarden Euro [Quelle: iGaming Business]. Diese Diskrepanz lässt sich auf die komplizierte Regulierungslandschaft zurückführen. Der Glücksspielstaatsvertrag von 2021 erlaubt zwar Online-Casinos und Sportwetten, die einzelnen Bundesländer können jedoch entscheiden, ob sie Lizenzen an mehrere Anbieter vergeben oder ein staatliches Monopol einführen. Diese Uneinheitlichkeit schreckt viele potenzielle Anbieter ab. Boomender Schwarzmarkt: Ein Dorn im Auge der Branche Die strengen Regulierungen treiben Spieler in die Arme illegaler Anbieter. Laut Yield Sec ist die Zahl der aktiven Schwarzmarkt-Glücksspielseiten in Deutschland, wie zum beispiel casinoohneoasis.bet, zwischen dem ersten Quartal 2022 und 2023 um 63% gestiegen. Im März 2023 allein sollen 9,3 Millionen Menschen, also rund 13,4% der Bevölkerung, mit illegalen Glücksspielprodukten online interagiert haben [Quelle: iGaming Business]. Diese Entwicklung beunruhigt die legalen Anbieter. Der Schwarzmarkt entzieht dem Staat Steuereinnahmen und bietet Spielern keinen Verbraucherschutz. Zukunft der deutschen Glücksspielindustrie: Regulierung anpassen? Experten fordern eine Anpassung der Glücksspielregulierung, um den Schwarzmarkt einzudämmen und das Potenzial des legalen Marktes auszuschöpfen. Mögliche Lösungsansätze könnten sein: Einheitliche Lizenzen für ganz Deutschland Vereinfachte Beantragungsprozesse für Lizenzen Strengere Kontrollen des Schwarzmarktes Deutschland steht vor der Herausforderung, eine Balance zu finden zwischen Verbraucherschutz, Steuergewinnen und einem attraktiven Angebot für Spieler. Gelingt dies, könnte die deutsche Glücksspielindustrie zu einem Vorzeigemarkt in Europa werden. Contact Details Leo +49 2735 7227 leodus@gmail.com

The Humane Society of the United States Helping Pets in Poverty: Keeping People and Pets Together in Hard Times

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement with Humane Society of the United States president and CEO Kitty Block, is available at: https://youtu.be/qtc_jIvU_nU Millions of loving pet owners cannot afford or do not have access to veterinary services and pet resources. Over 20 million pets live in poverty with their families in the US and 70% of pets living in poverty have never seen a veterinarian. This is a serious issue that is being addressed by the Humane Society of the United States through its More than a Pet campaign. A nationwide media tour was conducted featuring Kitty Block, President and CEO, The Humane Society of the United States, discussing the aim of the campaign which is to help pets living in poverty with their families and keep people and their pets together, no matter what challenges they face. The Humane Society of the United States’ More Than a Pet campaign addresses this nationwide crisis head on by elevating awareness and providing solutions for those facing economic hardship and struggling to access care for their pets. With the help of campaign partners TQL, Motel 6, Smalls and Tractive, along with the campaign’s celebrity ambassador Jackson Galaxy—renowned cat behavior and wellness expert, author and television host—More Than a Pet focuses on advancing equity and access to care to keep families and their pets together, happy and healthy. Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said, “The human-animal bond transcends demographics, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of animal companionship. Millions of loving pet owners cannot afford or don’t have access to veterinary services or pet resources. Most people are aware of how poverty and structural inequality create challenges and barriers to accessing healthy food, education, jobs, healthcare and housing for people. Pet resources are no different.” Galaxy added, “There is no greater joy than the unconditional love and relationship we have with our animal family members. They are more than just pets; they’re part of our lives and our hearts, and no one should ever have to even think about giving them up because they don’t have access to pet food, supplies and essential resources. We need to do all we can to keep these families together. People can make a difference by helping a neighbor out, whether that be giving them a bag of cat food, offering to care for their cat if they have fallen on hard times, or driving them to veterinary appointments if they don’t have a car. Every bit helps and means more than you know.” An important component of the campaign is the More Than a Pet Community Hero Award, recognizing the contributions of three community heroes who are making a difference by working to ensure the well-being of people and their pets in communities lacking access to resources like pet food and veterinary care. The public is encouraged to show their support by voting for the hero whose story impacts them most. People can also make a big difference by simply spreading the word about this enormous crisis and by helping their neighbors. Every act of kindness goes a long way: Offer to pet sit Drive them to a veterinary appointment Collect pet essential donations for them Buy an extra bag of cat or dog food Foster someone’s pet if they fall on hard times Since 2002, the Humane Society of the United States has served more than 500,000 pets and their families living in poverty with veterinary services such as spay/neuter and vaccinations at no cost to the pet’s family. The HSUS has also donated more than $40 million worth of pet supplies, including 14 million pounds of pet food. For more information, visit HUMANESOCIETY.ORG/MORETHANAPET About More Than a Pet Launched in 2023, the Humane Society of the United States’ More Than a Pet campaign honors the love people have for their pets, celebrates and protects the human-animal bond and aims to show that this bond transcends race, ethnicity, geography and socioeconomic status. Through programs like Pets for Life and Rural Area Veterinary Services, the HSUS supports hundreds of thousands of people and pets who do not have access to veterinary care and pet essentials. A key part of this work is to bring equity in access to pet care for underserved communities and increase diversity in the animal welfare movement, efforts which are long overdue and necessary to recognize the human in humane. Together with our corporate partners, More Than a Pet raises awareness and funds for these critical programs and the HSUS’ work to fight for all animals.

The Regenerative Power Of Seaweed: Nurturing Health, Empowering Women And Sustaining The Planet

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Seaweed is a staple food in many Asian cultures, but it is only now gaining significant popularity in the West as well, largely due to its numerous health benefits. Seaweed contains an array of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, B vitamins, zinc, and iron. Scientists have cited weight control, anticancer, and antioxidant effects and prebiotic intake as some of the benefits of regularly including seaweed in your diet. Simply put, seaweed might be an underutilized superfood, with reports estimating that the market could be worth $11.8 billion by 2030. In addition to the health benefits, many scientists and environmentalists are looking to seaweed as a solution to food insecurity and climate change concerns. Seaweed is known for absorbing nitrogen from the water and bolstering biodiversity by providing food and habitat for marine life, among other benefits. Current estimates reveal that food production is responsible for 80% of all land degradation, 70% of global freshwater use, and a staggering one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions. In stark contrast, seaweed cultivation requires neither land nor freshwater, effectively avoiding these environmental costs altogether. Further, the minimal greenhouse gas emissions associated with seaweed farming make it a highly sustainable alternative to land-based food production. How Rootless Is Using Seaweed To Benefit Women’s Health Rootless is a company dedicated to revolutionizing the global food system, with a particular focus on women's health. Founded by Sachi Singh, a passionate advocate of seaweed, this company is on a mission to make the health benefits of seaweed accessible to all. The company sources its seaweed from the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Maine and Ireland, and says it ensures it meets rigorous quality standards. The seaweed is sustainably harvested, providing livelihoods to coastal communities while simultaneously helping to heal the surrounding ocean environment by absorbing carbon and nitrogen. Rootless's flagship product, The Daily Bites, a whole-food snackable supplement, can support hormone balance in menopause and beyond with over 40 macro and micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and unique bioactives. In a consumer trial where women ate one of the company’s Daily Bites every day for four weeks, 86% experienced higher energy and/or improved metabolism and 83% experienced less bloating and/or constipation, while 97% experienced less hormonal acne and/or dryness. Rootless is currently hosting a raise to assist with increasing the company’s presence and support more women worldwide, while contributing to the fight against climate change. In an era of dwindling global resources, it is crucial to seize opportunities presented by readily replenishable and ecosystem-enhancing resources like seaweed. Rootless seems well-positioned to introduce seaweed to women searching for solutions to various issues like hormonal acne and hormonal disorders, as well as broadly supporting overall women’s health.
