The Background: Illegality of Online Gambling in Germany

For years, online gambling operators have been offering services to players in Germany despite the fact that, until July 2021, online gambling (except in Schleswig-Holstein) was largely illegal. Many of these operators, particularly those licensed in countries like Malta, continued to offer online casino and sports betting services to German residents without the proper local license.

Because these operations were illegal, any contracts or agreements made between players and these platforms may be legally void, giving players the right to reclaim their losses. This has opened up a significant window of opportunity for individuals who lost money on these platforms to claim refunds.

Groundbreaking Legal Precedents

Since 2020, several German court rulings have paved the way for players to demand their lost funds back. These rulings are based on the fact that, without a valid German license, the platforms had no legal right to offer their services. As a result, any losses incurred by players may be refunded, going back up to three years.

Attorney Christian Solmecke, partner at WBS.LEGAL, emphasizes the importance of this opportunity:

The possibility of a refund was made possible by several German court rulings starting in 2020. Now is the time to act—don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation and get your money back.
