Germany’s Gambling Market Led by Slots & Online Betting
  • Germany’s gambling regulator, GGL, published data regarding the country’s gambling during the first quarter of 2025.
  • Data from the report finds that wagers taking place on sports betting sites accounted for over 75% during Q1 and around 70% during Q2

BERLIN – Germany’s national regulator, Gemeinsamen Glücksspielbehörde der Länder, released its first-ever quarterly market data on gambling revenue across the country.

Figures from the first two quarters of 2025 reveal that legal sports betting claimed the greater majority of revenue. However, earnings were lowered from €3.5B ($4.07 billion) in the first quarter to €3.2B ($3.72 billion) by Q2 of this year, similar to American revenue figures.

Data from the report found that wagers taking place on sports betting sites accounted for over 75% during Q1 and around 70% during Q2 compared to in-person sportsbooks.

Slots claim a large portion of revenue from online casinos in Germany – at about €1.1B ($1.3 billion) for each quarter.

While online gambling was legalized in Germany in 2021, operators are now required to report their revenue figures every three months for public records.
