From July 1 of this year 2021, residents of Germany begin to play in online casinos legally. This date was the start for German online gambling, thanks to a bill passed by the government.
Recall that before online betting was the only allowed type of gambling in the country, that is, on the Internet it was only allowed to place bets on sports events. To date, legal operators have been given the official ability to offer online poker, slots and online casinos to players.
Note that on the eve of the adoption of the law on online gambling, the controversial issue of the difference in taxation of land-based gambling houses and online operators of the gambling industry was raised by the German gambling associations.
In the second decade of June this year, German online slots and poker operators learned how much they will pay to the state. Also, the regulator named the conditions for licensing online gambling operators in Germany.
