5 reasons why people play in online casinos

In the past, we at GambleJoe have often reported critically on licensed online casinos in Germany.

Netherlands: Tightening of deposit limits in force

In Germany, the deposit limit for online casinos and digital sports betting providers of 1,000 euros per month is a constant source of debate and a great deal of resentment: too low, too inflexible, too strict and ultimately a good reason to prefer illegal providers - according to critics. In contrast to our neighbors in Holland, however, we have comparatively much freedom for our gambling spending. Even stricter restrictions have been in place there since October 1.

Thai boxing star arrested for gambling adverts

Thailand is slowly but surely opening up to gambling, but there are still severe legal restrictions in place, which are among the strictest in East Asia. Thai boxer Sutthiwat, who is a real force to be reckoned with in the country, recently felt the full force of this fact. He was arrested for apparently wilfully promoting illegal gambling offers via his social media accounts. Following a large-scale investigation, he is now facing a hefty fine. He could face large fines or even a prison sentence.

After controversy: No more bets on German amateur football at Interwetten

There is a lot of unrest in German amateur football at the moment: almost every week there are new reports about illegal sports betting on matches, reprimands for data scouts who provide match statistics to bookmakers or even potential match-fixing for betting purposes.

Decision: Gambling in Belgium only from the age of 21

Gambling is regulated and access is restricted in all countries around the world. Specific age limits are enforced in particular to protect young people from the psychological and financial risks of such offers. The minimum age of 18 is standard in Europe. However, Belgium has raised the age to 21 - despite the fact that fewer and fewer young people seem to be gambling there. At the same time, many Belgians are not even aware of the age restriction. And what about the access age in other countries?

GGL also successful with payment blocking in Switzerland

The Joint Gambling Authority of the German federal states (GGL) recently achieved a legal success against a payment service provider from Switzerland. The GGL had previously prohibited the foreign payment service provider from participating in all illegal gambling offers in Germany.

Sweden: Campaign against match-fixing already among schoolchildren

The Swedish state gambling organisation Svenska Spel is considered one of the most progressive institutions in the industry in the whole of Europe. Founded in 1997, it is also one of the oldest organisations that has been dealing with modern (online) forms of gambling and new sources of danger since the late 1990s. Over the years, it has made a name for itself with a very liberal stance and innovative prevention measures, among other things. In 2024, a special campaign is once again attracting a lot of attention: the latest campaign against match-fixing aims to educate very young people about the importance of fairness and honest competition in sport.

What do casino employees earn in Germany?

According to Statista, there were just under 5,000 employees subject to social insurance contributions in the German gaming industry in 2023. Of course, the monthly earnings in the industry depend primarily on the type of work performed. For example, a gaming arcade supervisor earns less than an experienced croupier or an auditor. We took a look at how much money casino employees in Germany currently earn.

World-class footballer advertises illegal online casino

These days, world-class footballer Alisha Lehmann is being publicly criticised. The 25-year-old is currently advertising an illegal online casino on Instagram. The reach of almost 17 million followers is likely to contribute to the fact that many underage fans are also confronted with the gambling provider. So is such a partnership morally okay?
