Enforcement & compliance

Source: GGL (Germany)

Germany’s Joint Gambling Authority of the Länder (GGL) imposed a five-figure fine in early March on a licensed online gambling provider, it said. The authority said the provider advertised on websites that also promoted illegal gambling, contrary to advertising rules under the State Treaty on Gambling.

Licensed providers face financial penalties for advertising on websites that also promote illegal gambling.
