Is it possible that illegal advertising might mean this platform? I think the authorities are slowly waking up from their deep sleep....

Could it be that with illegal advertising maybe this platform is meant? I think this is how the authorities are slowly waking up from their deep sleep....

In fact, we have implemented the requirements of the authority on GambleJoe carefully and according to the assessment of our lawyers in Germany legally secure and advertise for players who are in Germany, only in Germany licensed providers.
However, when I look around on the Internet, I still find various portals where casinos with EU licenses and DE licenses are mixed.
So we are almost certainly not the cause of these administrative offense proceedings that were initiated against a licensed gambling Provider there. Unfortunately, we also do not know which gambling provider is now being prosecuted.

Actually, advertising is not allowed on TV between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. either.

Nevertheless SlotMagie presents every show in the afternoon program of DMAX.

I don't know if this is another loophole because it's not a spot in the commercials but always "The following show is presented by SlotMagie! Advertising it is just anyway.

In the NoDeposit area, there are also Affiliate links to certain casinos (without a DE license)...?
Whether this is now to be interpreted as "advertising".... no idea...

This is indeed not the case if you are on our portal with an IP address from Germany.
Are you currently in Germany?

You are welcome to check this by visiting the site from Germany, then you will notice that there are no more orange buttons here and furthermore it is the case that all content in the no-deposit area is created exclusively by our members.

We, the staff of GambleJoe never post offers in this section of the site ourselves.

That is why there is an informational text there:

This complicates the work but times immensely for the casinos.


How are they supposed to know where exactly they are being advertised? As an Affiliate, you simply sign a partner contract and receive a link that is connected to your account. And you can theoretically spread this link everywhere.

It would be different if the casinos had actively commissioned an advertisement. But if someone else advertises for them, what can they do about it? Actually, the site operator should be punished and not the casino.

In addition, this is once again a measure that further reduces the competitiveness of German casinos. Means for the casinos that they can no longer take place on about 98% of the casino affiliate sites, because there are very few portals that are limited exclusively to German casinos.
The government regulations are just so rarely stupid. That's what you get when people make laws who have absolutely no idea about the subject matter.
