German regulator Gemeinsame Gl\u00fccksspielbeh\u00f6rde der L\u00e4nder (GGL) marked its third anniversary by presenting its 2023 activity report at a recent press conference. CEO Ronald Benter highlighted significant achievements, including transitioning many previously illegal gambling operators to the legal market under GGL supervision.<\/p>\n

High Channelization Strengthens the Legal Market<\/h2>\n

The GGL\u2019s commitment to fair competition involved consistent enforcement actions throughout 2023. The authority processed 438 suspected illegal gambling or related advertising cases, checked 1,864 websites, and initiated prohibition proceedings in 133 cases. Consequently, 63 providers ceased illegal operations or advertising, and the regulator filed 104 criminal charges with public prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Benter emphasized that most formerly illegal gambling providers now comply with stringent GGL regulations. Non-compliance leads to severe consequences, such as license revocations. Payment blocking emerged as an effective enforcement tool, with illegal providers unable to use reputable payment service providers by the end of 2023. However, legal challenges have delayed the implementation of IP blocking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe GGL\u2019s actions against illegal gambling are impactful, but it remains a challenging task, especially as illegal market players operate internationally,\u201d<\/em> said Ronald Benter, GGL CEO.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Germany\u2019s gaming market saw a 2% increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR), reaching \u20ac13.7 billion ($14.7 billion). Providers regulated by the GGL accounted for approximately \u20ac3.5 billion ($3.76 billion), or 26% of the total gaming market. The GGL estimated the unauthorized gambling market\u2019s GGR ranged between \u20ac400-600 million, initiating a study in 2023 to examine the channelization process.<\/p>\n
