The German Sports Betting Association (DSWV) reports that just 1 in 12 gambling sites are operating legally ahead of the upcoming soccer season.
The startling statistic also comes with a warning regarding the official volume of illegal websites in operation in the European nation, compared to the legal options for bettors.
The information was released in connection with the DSWV and figures provided by the Joint Gambling Authority of the federal states (GGL).
The DSWV and GGL stated that ahead of the coming UEFA Champions League campaign, there are a reported 382 illegal gambling sites currently taking bets, which is a stark contrast to the 34 licensed entities that pay tax and have to abide by the nation’s strict regulations.
