GGL increases monitoring of illegal sports betting during 2026 World Cup
Germany’s GGL urged consumers to use licensed sports-betting operators and said it would strengthen monitoring during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Its checks will cover betting advertising, online gambling, event broadcasts and streaming, and new betting markets and types; the regulator also asked consumers and industry groups to report suspected breaches.
Operators face increased scrutiny of sports-betting advertising, online offers and emerging betting markets during the tournament.
