Online Casino Giant Wins in Court
Bwin is forbidden from advertising because of a ban made by the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. But the football team continued to display the group's logo on its shirts.
With a two-week window remaining open for challenges to its decision, the court ruled that VfB Stuttgart could 'tentatively' carry advertisements from Bwin.
The Stuttgart court ruling opens the way for continued advertising agreements between VfB Stuttgart and Bwin, particularly regarding the branding of team shirts which is aimed at online casino, poker or paypal sports betting.
