Hello forum,

I have some questions to which I have already searched here in the forum but have found only rough answers. Namely, I have concerns about the legal situation of online casinos. It is about the casinos (dunder, Lapalingo, sunnyplayer, LeoVegas, SlotsMillion, drueckglueck)
My question is, can it be that one makes himself punishable by playing in Germany on these sites? 🤔🤔

The whole thing makes you wonder, if you talk about illegal gambling. So it could even come to a report because of illegal gambling?

Well hope you can help me further 🤣

Thanks in advance 😁

Hello Tiramisu,

nice that you found our forum

In the past there have been a few articles on GambleJoe about the legal situation of online gambling and online casinos. Overall, it is still a legal gray area, as German law is contrary to European law on freedom of services

So far, only one trial was held against a gambler from Munich for illegal gambling (2011). He was acquitted in the second instance, and no gambler has been charged since. More info can be found in the article "Is online gambling legal in Germany?"

Although the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig had legally confirmed the ban on online gambling at the end of 2017, the gambling operators against whom the lawsuit was filed also appealed. Observers had noted, after the reasoning came out, some procedural oddities. The gray area remained.

In the meantime, there is also an expert opinion questioning the Glücksspielstaatsmonopol. At the last Minister Presidents' Conference in March 2019, the federal states were at least able to agree on the regulation of sports betting, Schleswig-Holstein has also extended the licenses for Online Casinos until 2021. After that, the aim is to introduce uniform nationwide regulation.

It is important to keep in mind that gambling providers from other EU countries pay 19% VAT to Germany on deposits made by players from Germany. The authorities basically know that many Germans gamble online. If they know about the participation in a crime, authority must also initiate the appropriate measures for investigation. Due to the legally problematic situation (gray area), this is not followed up

i mean, if massive action is now being taken even against bvb and dfb, it is surely only a matter of time before an example is made of a player. this would then have a symbolic effect for all online gamers.

i would be interested in how it looks, for example, as a Bavarian, if I am in Schleswig Holstein.may I play online there or not?is it about residence or residence?

I advise you not to start or only through an online service like MuchBetter, Skrill, ... and there also only in small scale.

The current situation is that it has been legally defined as illegal and for the first time the EU has also retreated somewhat from intervening in the scheme. If you do not want to suffer a nervous breakdown in case of emergency because a high win was seized and you have to fight through several court instances then do not play. Most of the time nothing happens but the bomb can burst at any time.

Play in a casino (not in a gambling house). The casino comes at least somewhat close to the payout ratios of online casinos.
