Gambling - applying for a betting shop (Wettvermittlungsstelle) for sports betting
Glücksspiel - Wettvermittlungsstelle für Sportwetten beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Operating a Wettvermittlungsstelle (betting agency) requires official permission under the Ausführungsgesetz zum Glücksspielstaatsvertrag (Implementation Act to the Interstate Treaty on Gambling). This permission can only be applied for, and only granted to, an operator licensed under the Glücksspielstaatsvertrag (Interstate Treaty on Gambling). This service is therefore aimed exclusively at such operators. If you are interested in operating a betting agency, please contact a licensed operator. Applications for approval of a betting agency that are not submitted by a licensed operator must be rejected as inadmissible, subject to a fee.
