Online gambling in Germany: the essentials

Since the 2021 State Treaty on Gambling, virtual slot machines and sports betting can be licensed for all of Germany. The Joint Gambling Authority (GGL) keeps the whitelist of permitted operators and enforces strict player limits.

Local payment methods

Methods players in Germany actually use at the platforms we cover, from the operators' own payment pages.

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • Debit card
  • Credit card
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • paysafecard
  • Skrill
  • Trustly
  • Klarna
  • Sofort

Payout speeds differ by method and operator; each review lists the processed-within window for that brand. How fast casino payouts really are

Tax on winnings

Private players' winnings from pure games of chance are not subject to income tax in Germany under settled Federal Fiscal Court case law - only business-like players (for example professional poker players) can be taxed - while gambling duties such as the sports-betting tax are owed by the operator, not the player.
