Germany’s gambling regulator, Gemeinsamen Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL), has praised the country’s population after revealing around 1,500 tips have been shared about illegal online gambling operators since January 2023.
The GGL made the announcement Tuesday (24 September), before Germany’s nationwide action day against gambling addiction Wednesday.
Of the 1,500 reports made since the start of 2023, around half related to suspected cases of illegal online gambling. The other half, meanwhile, centred on possible irregularities at legal online providers.
Alongside the reporting portal, the GGL has also carried out its own investigations. The group took over full control of gambling in Germany at the beginning of 2023.
