On the 8th of November 2005, the German Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) will hear the parties and concerned associations and at this occasion will discuss the issue of sports betting comprehensively in public for the first time. The case concerns a betting agent's complaint about the infringement of the constitution (case-no. 1 BvR 1054/01). Apart from this specific case, the hearing will put to test fundamentally the whole set of regulations and provisions regulating sports betting in Germany.
