GGL explains when it can order internet providers to block illegal gambling

Germany’s GGL said it may seek IP blocking of unauthorised gambling offers when providers have not stopped them despite a formal prohibition, or when action against the providers is not feasible or likely to succeed. The authority offered internet service providers direct discussions before formal administrative proceedings; a formal blocking order can be challenged in court.
Providers may face IP blocking requests when unauthorised gambling offers persist, with formal orders open to court challenge.
