Chapter 2: Market overviews
The organisation aims to encourage the implementation of “legally stable sports betting regulation” in
the country, while acting against “game manipulation, gambling addiction and black markets”.
The association’s 11 founding members were Admiral Sportwetten, Betfair, BetterBet, Cashpoint,
Deutsche Sportwetten, Hillside (New Media), Ladbrokes, Mybet, Stanleybet, Tipico and World of
Sportsbetting.
In April 2015, German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom completed its expansion into
the country’s online gambling market with the launch of the new Tipp3.de internet sports betting
platform.
The new website is operated by Deutsche Sportwetten, of which Deutsche Telekom holds a 64% stake
and Austrian provider Österreichische Sportwetten a 36% share.
Although the new service has a strong focus on football betting, customers can access wagering
options for other sports such as basketball and the Formula 1 motor racing championship.
Tipp3.de only offers betting services for professional sports and does not allow customers to wager on
amateur or youth matches.
The new website also features Deutsche Telekom’s Pass ID, an identification system that only allows
verified players to access the betting services.
