Channelization for online slots in Germany is between 20% and 40%, according to the latest estimates from online casino trade body Deutscher Online Casinoverband (DOCV).
Speaking during the DOCV’s ‘beer, pretzels and policy’ networking event during last week’s ICE conference (21 January), Dirk Quermann, president of the online slots and casino group in Germany, told attendees this data was based on estimates from academics.
On the sports betting side, Mathias Dahms, president of the online betting trade body in Germany, Deutscher Sportwettenverband (DSWV), spoke alongside Quermann. He said channelization for the vertical was around 60% to 70%.
According to the DSWV, there are approximately 29 online betting licence holders in Germany which collected a total of €7.3 billion ($7.7 billion) in stakes in 2024, with an estimated gross gaming revenue (GGR) of €1.1 billion.
