German gambling rules face claims of driving players to unlicensed sites
A report says Germany’s gambling restrictions are pushing players towards unlicensed offshore platforms. It cites a Fall 2024 H2 Gambling Capital analysis that put online channelisation at 36%, and industry associations’ estimate of 50,000 illegal physical machines alongside 180,000 legal machines.
The reported channelisation figure indicates how restrictions may affect licensed operators’ share of online gambling activity.
