I got 3 emails today. From soltsmillion, reful and mount gold casino all 3 cancel my membership on the 1 .7. because then the new gambling law will come into force in Germany. If you still have money in casinos that do not have a German license, take it down as a precaution because you can be from 1.7. can no longer log in.

It's quite strange that they sent it 2 days before they plan to cancel the account. I remember LeoVegas had to do the same with Czech players 4 years ago, but they gave them about a month to withdraw all funds. They were just unable to play games for real money.

At least they send emails. Not all Casinos are that honest.

True. Some just block your account and when you try to access their website, it says the domain is unavailable for you 😀

Yes they, asked to get any money out as I won't be able to log into my account after 1.7.

Did you have to withdraw anything or did you have 0 balance there?

Balance was zero. Shame about SlotsMillion. I liked them. Never had any problems. Money was always in bankacount 3or 4 hours after withdraw.

Yes, they've got perfect reputation according to our website. They really seem to be a very good casino 😕 Then where are you going to play in the future? Do you already any other favourite casino? I suppose many Germans will face the same issue.

There are a few Casinos. One Casino or sunmaker. But it's Slots and sport mostly. Live online games like roulette blackjack are not allowed anymore. You can't gamble more than 1000 Euro a month. If I deposit in let's say One Casino 990euro I could only deposit 10 euro in another Casino. Because if you sign up to a casino and your address is in Germany, your automatically on the " Oasis List". If I spend my 1000 euro I couldn't even play the national lottery anymore. This will probably work as well as those no fly lists where of course only terrorists are on 🙄 Maximum amount for a spin is 1 euro. All to protect the player. However, If I go in a Landcasino it's no problem to place a bet on the roulette for 100000 Euro.🤔


That's Germany. Our lawmakers love regulations. It's how we will end. " The Germans did not die because of war, health or some natural disasters, Germany regulated itself into extinction

Of course It's not all bad. There are some good things in this new laws. There is a standard for Bonus and bonus rules. They must be simple and understandable. The bonus must be realistic. You won't see any 800% bonus offers for example.

To get a license the casinos must prove how high the money is protected or insured. This must be a number that has at least 7 zeros. So any dogy Mafia casino start-up from a country that ends with -stan will have a tough time to get a german license.

It will be hard for Casinos to refuse payouts as they have to make their own payout rules simpler if they use a German licence

Hey guys!


just talked to Moritz from videoslots in live chat.

The occasion was a 'personal' deposit bonus over 150 free spins for

Equ. explosino 2 that I wanted to get and use today ..

In any case, the game in question is now 'illegal' in Germany.

then had to put up with book of dead.

had I not accepted the offer I would have known that.

Videoslots had one of the most extensive games collections I knew.

Now ALL the games that I liked to play are gone !?

Who decides which slot game should suddenly be illegal?

Isn't it absolutely ridiculous that one slot game is no longer allowed to play another one at once?

Then I think of the apple and pear comparison ..

Soon the dice will probably only be allowed to go up to 3

... insofar as there is no full moon over Schleswig-Holstein ...

Greetings Simon

Today I had another email. From Mega Rush Casino. I never played there, probably just signed up for a no deposit bonus. Anyway, their email just said " Because of Germany's new gambling rules your account is deleted from today". 🤷🏼‍♂️

If I had any money in a account there it would be gone now.

You can only hope that the game provider who created your favourite games will manage to get a license in Germany. I believe that's the only way 😕

Esqueleto Explosive 2 is one of the best slots I've ever played. It's pure fun 😀

Frankey

Maybe, if you had some positive balance there, they'd let to you withdraw it. It's hard to say now.

Insofar as the providers even make the effort,

Well, that's why we have CasinoGuru or Askgambler to be sure.

You inform yourself before you give someone money.

Is like in real life -).

.. find anyone who pays in naive anywhere need not be surprised if the payout does not work out.

The same applies to a 1300% bonus.

There are enough serious providers whose bonus sales conditions are as good as impossible to meet .. Only recently made the mistake at svenplay not to recalculate exactly. 200% with 45 times the implementation of bonus + deposit and. Also a minimum of 30, - deposit.

Then I deleted the bonus without further ado before I start playing and at the end still make good winnings that can never be paid out.


So kch doesn’t need a state that forces its way into everyone’s new pseudo-rules under the flimsy justification of only wanting to protect the players.

It was probably enough in march all these annoying changes.

I'll tell you one thing, they just smelled a lot that they generate huge sales online and our poor politicians don't get a share of their ass-sitting.

And we are allowed to pay for it, and many small innovative casinos that simply cannot afford 8 star lawyers who correctly implement the complicated license requirements.

The casinos who have decent lawyers and they're honest and want to obey the rules may decided to stay away from the German market and close the accounts, but those casinos that don't care about anything might will ignore. The question is if you really want to play in a casino that doesn't care about anything at all.

I honestly have no idea what it takes to have a license in German as a game provider, but I suppose it should be easier than having the German license. Anyway, I believe that many providers would need to implement some specials features into their games for the German market and that could be a real obstacle for the smaller studios.

I talked to the live Chat at OneCasino today because there are a lot of games not available at the moment. They said they come back as soonest they get a green light from the authorities. If not it's up to the game company if they change it. Playngo games are all available,as are all you can play in german Landcasino/Slothalls( Merkur, gamomat) NetEnt a few, qickspin none. All megaways games are gone. We will see how this all develops.

I can imagine it won't take long until the first casinos come up with 'special VPN offer' for German players so they can sign up. 🙄
