Market brief
CountryGermany cannot be represented accurately with a single generic online-casino licence. The GGL's national responsibilities cover specified online products, while the federal states retain responsibility for online casino table games under the treaty's state options.
Tax comparisons also need care: the 5.3% rates for sports betting, virtual slots and online poker use statutory assessment bases connected to stakes, not the gross-gaming-revenue base common in several other markets.
Open official operator registerCompliance watch
3 monitoring pointsMarket access
The monthly GGL whitelist is the main public reference for permitted operator, product and website relationships. State-authorised online casino games require a separate state-level check.
Refresh the GGL whitelist after its monthly publication cycle.
Track state-level online casino models separately from GGL product permissions.
Monitor LUGAS technical requirements and changes to cross-provider player controls.
