When making games or going to sports betting at sunmaker it says " You are leaving the jurisdiction of the MGA" What exactly does that mean ?

Well, some games are not licensed in Malta, but in another country. Whoever offers Merkur games with a European gambling license must (for whatever reason) have the following in their terms and conditions:


Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 5, we do not accept bets from the United States of America, Germany and Turkey; accordingly, you represent and warrant that you do not reside in any of these countries and will not use or access the gaming platform or the Services while in any of these countries.


The Platin Casino, as well as the stake7 Casino have this clause in their T&Cs. This part of the terms and conditions seems to come from the very top (Gauselmann himself). It will probably be a political thing.

Sunmaker and sunnyplayer do not have such a clause in their terms and conditions, because they have licensed their games in another country. However, since the above clause never applies, there is no need to worry and you can play at Stake7 and Platincasino as well. If this clause were to apply, it would have been applied to this case: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/merkur-casino-verweigert-auszahlung/

The player (who turned €20 into a whopping €160,000) had problems and the casino gave all sorts of reasons not to pay out - but this clause in the T&C's never fell at any point! In the end, the player has also received his money.

It's just such a Gauselmann spaz thing. Personally, he would like to ban online gambling properly because he is the market leader and is afraid of the competition (NetEnt, Microgaming, etc.). But now he realizes that this is no longer possible and he wants / needs to get involved in the online gambling market as well. In every interview, he makes roughly the following argument: "Now our gaming arcades will be further restricted again, people will migrate to illegal gambling or to the Internet, blablub".

The whole pseudo-regulation is there only for it, so that the Gauselmann could say with a theoretical television interview: "Clearly, we must online also mitmischen however we exclude German players from this offer ...". As if players in other countries would be interested in these junk implemented games
