The German state of Schleswig-Holstein has passed a bill that allows the current online gambling regulatory regime to remain in place until mid-2021.

The successful regulation of online gambling on the territory of Germany has proved quite the challenge over the past seven years. The latest version of the Interstate Treaty on Gambling was introduced this year and was presented to the European Commission for a review earlier this month. An approval from EU authorities is one of the necessary steps before the law takes effect at a federal level.

The Schleswig-Holstein has been allowed to implement its own regulatory framework that will stay in effect until June 30, 2021. The framework’s extended validity was voted in favour of by the state’s Greens, Free Democratic Party, South Schleswig Voters’ Association, Christian Democratic Union party, and the Alternative for Germany party.

PlayOJO, the online casino powered by SkillOnNet, has launched a brand new multi-million-pound TV, radio, out of home and digital advertising campaign. The TV ad campaign named “Thumbs Up OJO” has been directed by Djawid Hakimyar and features Royal Shakespeare Company actor, Joshua McCord.

In the advert, McCord plays Tom, a happy go-lucky PlayOJO regular who walks around town with a larger than life thumbs-up to represent the fantastic feeling he gets when he is treated fairly at PlayOJO. As he walks down the street, Tom meets a cast of colourful characters that also play at PlayOJO and acknowledges each with his giant thumbs up.

Peter Bennett, head of brand marketing at PlayOJO, said: “Our latest integrated campaign reinforces our core brand proposition that PlayOJO is the fair online casino with no wagering requirements, where bonuses are paid in cash with no restrictions and by giving money back, we give players control of their money.”

We are backing this campaign with significant media spend in order to continue to build our brand recognition to help achieve our ambition to become the UKs most recognised online casino brand by 2021,” Peter Bennett added.
