Since LeoVegas is mentioned there, I believe I have something to say about it since I worked in the casino. I'm not sure about the current situation, but LeoVegas used to be a great, fair and polite casino full of great professionals.
If the fight of those 2 lawyers will be successful, German and Austrian players may lose access to very decent casinos forever. The same thing happened in Czech Republic, but it was quite a small market for the casinos so they just gave up and stopped accepting players from the country. I feel like Germany and Austria are more important markets for them so they'll fight.
I always look at this from they players perspective. Players should always have the freedom of choice. I don't like the idea of forcing German players into playing casinos with lower RTP, restrictions that the government set for them (no autospin, 5s+ rule per spin, max deposit per month, max. bet etc).
They should focus more on punishing casinos that willingly misuse vulnerable players and try to get as much as they can from them despite knowing about they're gambling issues. Those are the players that need the government's protection. Not someone who earns 20k eur per month who's being forced to bet the same small bets as someone who maybe earns 10x less.
