Die für den deutschen Glücks- und Gewinnspielmarkt derzeit geltenden rechtlichen und ordnungspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen führen dazu, dass sich der nicht-regulierte Markt deutlich zu Lasten des regulierten Marktes ausweitet, was negative volkswirtschaftliche und soziale Effekte zur Folge hat. Ziel der Politik sollte es sein, einen möglichst großen Teil des bis dato nicht-regulierten Marktes (Grau- und Schwarzmarkt) in einen geregelten Rahmen zu überführen.
Die New Economy ist durch die Konvergenz zuvor getrennter Bereiche (Telekommunikation, Medien, Informationstechnik, Internet) gekennzeichnet, die gegenwärtig unterschiedlichen regulatorischen Rahmenbedingungen unterworfen sind. Ist dieser heterogene Ordnungsrahmen noch geeignet, um den ökonomischen Strukturen der New Economy Rechnung zu tragen, oder sind grundlegende Veränderungen erforderlich?
Although most individuals who gamble do so without any adverse consequences, some individuals develop a recurrent, maladaptive pattern of gambling behaviour, often called pathological gambling or gambling disorder, that is associated with financial losses, disruption of family and interpersonal relationships, and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Identifying whether different types of gambling modalities vary in their ability to lead to maladaptive patterns of gambling behaviour is essential to develop public policies that seek to balance access to gambling opportunities with minimizing risk for the potential adverse consequences of gambling behaviour. Until recently, assessing the risk potential of different types of gambling products was nearly impossible. ASTERIG, initially developed in Germany in 2006-2010, is an assessment tool to measure and to evaluate the risk potential of any gambling product based on scores on ten dimensions. In doing so, it also allows a comparison to be drawn between the addictive potential of different gambling products. Furthermore, the tool highlights where the specific risk potential of each specific gambling product lies. This makes it a valuable tool at the legislative, case law, and administrative levels as it allows the risk potential of individual gambling products to be identified and to be compared globally and across 10 different dimensions of risk potential. We note that specific gambling products should always be evaluated rather than product groups (lotteries, slot machines) or providers, as there may be variations among those product groups that impact their risk potential. For example, slot machines may vary on the amount of jackpot, which may influence their risk potential.
