According to some reports, a lot of online gambling companies will be affected by a new tax plan including Betfair. It was said that even the world’s largest Internet betting exchange will be affected and might just be forced to block German online gamblers. Yes, the new tax plan was said to be by Germany.
Reports revealed that Germany has planned of having the new tax plan that will also tax the stake and not only the winnings from online bets. And Betfair, say the country will really go for the new tax plan, might eventually block online gamblers from the country. Of course, even the German online gamblers will understand say the company will just end up blocking them. It will be not easy for the company to deal with the new tax plan of the country.
Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz said: “It is not set in stone, but if these regulations go into law as they have been proposed, there are going to be a lot of online bookmakers that will have to reconsider their position regarding Germany. It seems more logical that this was just a first proposal, and that German lawmakers will tweak the law to make it work for all parties involved.”
It is true that most likely, all online gamblers and even non-gamblers will understand say the company will eventually decide to really block German online gamblers. Betfair will indeed find it hard to deal with the new tax plan. Reports must be correct, if every bet will be taxed, a profit margin would be unsustainable for the company. For Betfair, the best thing to do might really be to block them. And maybe even for other online gambling companies, it seemed the best thing to do after knowing about the new tax plan.
