GGL says election and war bets are illegal in Germany
Germany’s GGL said betting on elections and other social events, including the outcome of the war in Ukraine, is not permitted under the country’s gambling law. It said only bets on sports events with objectively verifiable outcomes and clear rules are allowed, and that organising, taking part in or promoting prohibited bets can have legal consequences.
Operators and bettors face legal consequences for offering, promoting or participating in prohibited non-sports betting.
