The Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL), Germany’s unified gambling regulator, has published its annual enforcement report detailing substantial reductions in unregulated market traffic.

Coordinated Payment Blocking

Working alongside major European banks and payment providers, the GGL successfully cut off payment rails for dozens of offshore operators targeting German citizens without a domestic license.

Call for Flexible Regulation

Licensed German operators urged the regulator to review restrictive deposit and bet caps to further incentivize players to remain within legal domestic offerings.
