[Thursday marked] the launch of the legal online casino market in Germany, with the country’s State Treaty on Gambling…that was approved by German lawmakers last year.
Operators in the jurisdiction will now be able to offer poker and slot games online. Previously, sports betting was the only form of online gambling permitted in the country.
While table games can be offered, this will either be granted to the state lotteries as a monopoly. In states where the lotteries do not take up the option to offer table games, a number of licences, based on the number of casino licensees, will be issued.
