New online casinos in Germany
353 Of the 727 casinos on our list do not block Germany
Germany licenses online slots and poker. The Joint Gambling Authority of the States (GGL) issues the licences and keeps the whitelist; online table games such as roulette are left to each state.
The casinos below accept German players by their own terms and name foreign licences, mostly Curaçao. Without a GGL licence they are illegal in Germany, and the Criminal Code also covers players.
- 18+ only
- Local licence: GGL whitelist
- Playing at unlicensed sites is an offence

Short answer
Can players in Germany use new online casinos?
Yes, at operators on the GGL whitelist, which apply a €1 stake limit on slots and a €1,000 monthly deposit limit across sites. Offshore casinos accept German players without those limits, but they are unlicensed in Germany, and §285 StGB makes taking part in unlicensed gambling punishable.

Questions
Germany: questions
Are online casinos legal in Germany?
Virtual slots and online poker are legal at GGL-licensed operators (GGL). Online table games depend on the state. The casinos on this page name foreign licences.
Is it illegal to play at offshore casinos from Germany?
Yes. §285 of the Criminal Code makes taking part in unlicensed public gambling punishable (§285 StGB). Running or advertising unlicensed gambling is punishable under §284; the law section on this page lists the maximum penalties.
What limits apply at licensed German casinos?
A €1 maximum stake per spin on virtual slots, a five-second minimum spin time and a €1,000 monthly deposit limit across all licensed operators by default.
What should I check before joining a new casino that accepts players from Germany?
Read the casino's terms on Germany first, because a casino can change the countries it accepts. Then check the licence it names, its withdrawal limits and the wagering on the welcome offer. In Germany, also look the brand up on the GGL whitelist. Make a small first deposit and request a small withdrawal before you claim a bonus. Our review method lists the checks we run on every new brand.
Where can I get help with gambling in Germany?
Gambling Therapy offers free, confidential support online in several languages. Self-exclusion in a casino account only works at that casino. Our responsible gaming page explains the deposit and time limits you can set.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
How we review new casinosSet limits before the welcome offer
Bonus wagering keeps you playing longer. Set a deposit limit and a time limit in the account before you claim.
