Share

Germany’s gambling regulator, Gemeinsamen Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL), alongside Federal Drug Commissioner Blienert, has alerted customers about the risks of illegal gambling operators as Euro 2024 approaches.

With the anticipation surrounding the soccer event, the GGL anticipates a surge in betting. Consequently, there’s worry about increased gambling through unlicensed operators.

The GGL stressed the illegality and risks associated with gambling through unlicensed operators. They lack sufficient safeguards, increasing the risk of harm to players and minors.

Encouragement for Legal Options

The GGL advises players to opt for legal operators and stay informed about regulatory guidelines provided by the GGL and other authorities. Sports betting carries financial risks regardless of players’ sports knowledge. Legal operators are required to comply with strict regulations to ensure player protection.

All whitelisted companies are listed on the GGL’s official homepage, ensuring players can easily identify legal operators. Legal companies must display their license information and the GGL’s inspection seal on their websites, ensuring transparency and consumer protection.
