Gauselmann Outlines Plans to Resume Operations in Germany

German gambling company Gauselmann Group is planning to resume its business activities in the country as the German government begins to relax social distancing measures implemented to combat the spread of coronavirus.

Last month, Gauselmann closed all its gaming venues, as well as its casinos, in Germany in line with government-ordered measures.

“The commercial venues in particular have the advantage that they already have provisions that correspond to the principle of social distancing requirements,” Gauselmann board member Dieter Kuhlmann said.

“This means that when our venues reopen, together with additional far-reaching measures, we can guarantee optimal infection protection for our guests and employees,” Dieter Kuhlmann added.

Aside from closing gambling venues and halting production and sales activities, Gauselmann has implemented a number of other measures in an effort to ensure it can resume normal business activities when restrictions are lifted. A total of 13,500 employees have been put on furlough, while board members and company managers have agreed to waive 50% of their salary during the shutdown.

“We have taken these short-term measures to protect our employees from social difficulties. Considering the size of the business, this is a considerable burden, but one that we are taking on not only on humanitarian grounds, but also to secure our company’s future,” Paul Gauselmann, founder and chief executive of Gauselmann Group, said.

“Solidarity is the top priority for the Gauselmann Group. Our focus is currently on preserving all 14,000 jobs in the group, if possible. Our employees have been committed to the company for many years and decades, which is why we cannot abandon them in these difficult times. This is a significant, challenging task when you consider that we currently have practically no revenue,” he added.

Also, the rent for all of Gauselmann’s gambling facilities has been reduced by 50% during the period of closure.

Poland to Classify Gambling Streaming as Serious Crime

Published

poland-to-classify-gambling-streaming-as-serious-crime

The Polish Parliament is considering a landmark draft law to curb harmful digital content, specifically targeting the phenomenon known as “patostreaming.”

Patostreaming is recognised as a new term to categorise criminal offences related to the broadcasting of online violence, abuse and sexually degrading content.

The proposed legislation would criminalize the broadcasting of violence, abuse, and sexually degrading material. Additionally, the bill seeks to outlaw the promotion of online gambling by social media influencers. By amending the Penal Code, supporters aim to bridge the legal gap between digital behaviour and offline criminal acts, ensuring online offenders face the same accountability as those in the physical world.

The bill carries the backing of ministers of Poland’s new Civic Coalition (KO) government, formed in late 2025 by the union of the Citizens Platform (PO), Modern (Nowoczesna) and the Polish Initiative (iPL).

Supporters call for clearer enforcement powers to treat the online broadcasting of serious criminal acts as a punishable offence, aligning digital conduct with crimes already sanctioned offline.

If adopted, the legislation would introduce prison sentences ranging from three months to five years for individuals who publicly share real or staged content depicting serious criminal acts via online platforms.

The same penalty range would also apply to influencers found to be illegally promoting online gambling activity that remains heavily restricted under Poland’s state-controlled gambling regime.

KO ministers have framed the initiative as part of a broader effort to strengthen online protections for Polish youth, citing rising exposure to violent digital content and illegal gambling promotions across social media platforms.
