Although the provision of almost any kind of digital gaming to German players is technically forbidden
under German law, Germany is one of the biggest digital gaming markets in the world.
Analyst consensus dictates that the German digital market is currently split 50:30:20 between sports
betting, poker and casino. Figures published by Germany’s Ministry of Finance in early 2015 revealed
that betting turnover in Germany increased by 18% to €4.5bn in 2014, up from €3.8bn in 2013.
Football is the most popular sport in Germany and most other German speaking nations. Winter sports
are also hugely popular, particularly in Austria and Switzerland as are motorsports.
In September 2014, a number of leading European betting companies collaborated to form the
German Sports Betting Association.
