„Das grosse Warten auf Schweizer Online-Casinos“

Dr. Simon Planzer kommentiert im Nachrichtenmagazin „10vor10“ einige der Gründe, weshalb nur wenige lizenzierte Online-Glücksspiel-Angebote für Schweizer Kunden verfügbar sind. Seit dem 1. Juli sollten eigentlich 4 Schweizer Angebote online sein – allerdings gestaltet sich die Spiel-Genehmigung der Angebote als sehr schwierig.

„Empirical Views on European Gambling Law and Addiction“

Springer International Publishing has released Planzer’s book „Empirical Views on European Gambling Law and Addiction“. The book offers the first comprehensive presentation and analysis of European gambling law, providing a novel view on gambling at the intersection of law and science. It has been warmly welcomed in the gaming law community. Anthony Cabot noted:

„Simon Planzer’s book “Empirical Views on European Gambling Law and Addiction” is a wonderful example of the application of evidence-based thought to gaming regulation and policy. Such analytic and well written work is essential if gaming regulation hopes to achieve policy goals. One hopes that it will find a place on every policy maker’s bookshelf.“
