The fall of Bwin has continued, the stock lost 7.6 percent on Thursday to 21.20 euros and achieves a new low for the year. On Wednesday the paper reported losses of more than 30 percent. "State monopoly permitted in principle" Saxony relies on his step on a decision of the Federal Constitutional Court in late March. It presented to the judges, while concluding that the state monopoly on sports betting is unconstitutional in its current form, because the state is not sufficiently addressing the issue of gambling. However, such a monopoly is generally permissible if the state bookmaker Oddset give up its promotional activities. In July, in the proceedings a hearing was held by Bwin.
