In 2022, the legal status of online casinos in Germany was governed by the new State Treaty on Gambling (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag 2021), which came into effect on July 1, 2021. This treaty allowed for the licensing of online casino games, including slots and poker, under strict regulations. Licensed operators must adhere to player protection measures, such as deposit limits and advertising restrictions. However, the implementation varied by state, and the market remained complex for players seeking legal options. |
