Great uncertainty prevails among the players in the house raffle in the vicinity of Munich. Volker Stiny, the owner of the house, was forced to new registrations for the game and the subsequent raffle initially to stop. The government of Mittelfranken Volker has Stiny the raffle his house prohibited. The shared now with the Authority.

Volker Stiny and his lawyers are of the opinion that the house raffle is not gambling but a game of skill, since most are not random, but the knowledge of participants about the profits decide. The government of Mittelfranken in their conflicts with the prohibition order free budget worksheets. She feels that as a whole outweigh the random element.

Volker has Stiny complaint
It would be for all interested parties have been best if the legality of this lottery before the start of the game would have been clarified. The authorities have failed to respond to Mr Stinys multiple requests with a written price increases or cancellation of the game to respond. The consequence is that the players do not know how and when it goes on or whether the game is prohibited. Questions on the repayment of the stake will be loud personal budget planning. A quick clarification on whether this lottery is held or not, would be particularly valuable in the sense of the players now urgently required!
