German class lottery Berlin
The German Class Lottery Berlin ( DKLB ) is the lottery company of Berlin . Through the German Class Lottery Act and the German Class Lottery Foundation (DKLB law), it has taken on the task of running games of chance and lotteries on behalf of the State of Berlin.
overview
The DKLB is a member of the German Lotto and Totoblock . The merger with the lottery companies of the other 15 federal states guarantees that lotteries and sports betting are carried out nationwide according to uniform rules. But the DKLB is also active on an international level and benefits from the exchange of experience with the World Lottery Association and the European State Lottery and Toto Association. A special feature is that profits from gaming operations do not flow into the state budget, as is usual in many federal states, but are used for charitable purposes via the Deutsche Klassenlotterie Foundation .
history
In 1763 there was a state monopoly for lottery in Prussia for the first time . After the number lottery was banned in Berlin in 1810, the first casinos emerged, but they were banned again 58 years later. It was not until 1933 that the ban on casinos was lifted and in 1938 the German Reich Lottery was established. After the war, the German Reichslotterie came to an end in 1945 and the Berlin city lottery emerged as a development lottery . On July 11, 1946, the German class lottery was founded in Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg and in 1949 the Berliner Sporttoto Gesellschaft was founded, and with it the first betting option in the Berlin soccer TOTO. In 1952 the DKLB was declared an institution under public law . In 1990 the area of validity of the DKLB was extended to the eastern part of Berlin and in 1991 the DKLB was recognized as the only lottery company in Berlin. In 1998 the DKLB Foundation received the "Golden Football" from the Berlin Football Association. The turnover of the DKLB rose over 600 million marks, at the same time more than 100 million marks in lottery tax were paid to the state of Berlin for the first time.
