Politicians in Stuttgart have approved the regulation of certain online casino games in the German state of Baden-Württemberg this month.
The German Interstate Treaty on Gambling came into force in 2021. As well as legalising online slots and sports betting, which had previously been prohibited in Germany, it also allowed states to pen their own regulation for virtual casinos with table games.
Baden-Württemberg has used its option in the treaty to open up state-run online casino games such as blackjack and roulette in its territory.
Following on from Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein in 2024, the southwestern state will become the third to regulate these games in Germany.
