Deutsche Sportwettenverband (DSWV), German sports betting body, is asking its members to cease accepting amateur football league wagers in order to set an example with its support of sports integrity and social responsibilities.
Mathias Dahms, president of the DSWV has turned to legislators to put an end to uncertainty surrounding sports betting licensing, which has been an issue for more than two years.
Dahms is striving to make the “booming black market” suffer.
"It is with great concern that we observe a growing black market,” said Dahms in a statement. “Unfortunately it is only a logical consequence of the German licensing chaos where not only consumers and reputable suppliers suffer, but also the State..."
"Without a legally valid license our hands are tied," Dahms said. "Otherwise, we would immediately initiate legal action against illegal vendors ourselves."

Low league matches in every league is more like to be seted up, because of less money which is surrounding clubs at that level of the competition. We will see that in many leagues we can't find 3. leagues at the bookies, and that is why they don't have trust in that leagues and clubs. It will be hard to resolve this situation
