The three things worth knowing
Only whitelisted operators are legal. The Joint Gambling Authority of the German States (GGL) publishes the binding whitelist. Licensed operators must enforce a €1,000 cross-operator monthly deposit limit (checked via LUGAS), query the OASIS self-exclusion register on every login, and offer a panic button.
No licensed operator accepts crypto. Every payment must be tied to a verified player account and reported in euros to the limit system. A wallet transaction carries no identity and cannot be reversed — so any "crypto casino" reachable from Germany is by definition unlicensed here. Full legal analysis (German).
Verify licences in the register, not the footer. Licence badges are graphics; the authority's public register is the only proof. Our step-by-step verification guide (German) covers GGL, MGA, Curaçao and Anjouan.
