have you already received feedback from your lawyers?
The phone call was already on Tuesday. Or is it still more complex to consider this issue for the lawyers?
I looked up what is meant by "advertising" and came across this:
"Advertising is any statement made in the course of a trade, craft or profession with the aim of promoting the sale of goods or the provision of services."
So Affiliate advertising should also fall under this term, or do I see it wrong?
I wouldn't see it that way because it requires an active action and just because the site is online GJ doesn't come around the corner with the motto Sign up you have to play you have to play now

Why are you so "dogged" on getting a statement here? I think, if there's something worth mentioning, Matthias will communicate that on his own. He has already written in the thread.

Good morning,
how nice that you are already as a new community member so concerned about our project. But don't worry..
As a matter of fact, we postponed the date for the talk from Tuesday to Wednesday because we couldn't split up and there were other things to do that had a higher priority on the to-do list.
Nevertheless, we spoke with our lawyers yesterday and were reminded once again that we have been known to GGL since the State Gambling Treaty came into effect on July 1, 2021, which is already 2 years ago, and GGL informed us in writing of their requirements at that time. Basically, the goal is to steer gambling into legal and regulated channels and we have implemented all these requirements at that time until today by making appropriate adjustments to our website.
Whether the links in the sidebar, where the positioning of the providers depends, among other things, on user-generated data through automatic evaluation of personal experience reports, are to be considered advertising would have to be clarified in court.
According to the legal assessment of several gambling lawyers, content such as test reports, news articles, and comparison tables are to be considered editorial content and thus links are unproblematic.
In addition, we do not rent out large advertising spaces, but are to be understood as an information and evaluation portal.
Our portal is comparable to sites like "Trustpilot", where links (affiliate links) to various gambling providers with a German license can also be found during the day. See for example: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bingbong.de
From our point of view, it makes little sense to have an in-depth legal discussion here in the forum on the subject of "what is advertising" or "what is allowed as an affiliate".
To come back to your concerns: You can rely on us to adhere to all legal requirements or frameworks when operating GambleJoe.

Hello Matthias,
thank you very much for the interesting feedback.
"According to the legal assessment of several gambling lawyers, content such as test reports, news articles, comparison tables are to be considered editorial content and thus linking is unproblematic."
That sounds plausible at first.
However, the difference between rating portals like Trustpilot on the one hand and Gamblejoe and the BILD newspaper on the other is that the latter place Affiliate links, i.e. they are paid directly for successfully recruiting a customer for Jackpot pirates or BingBong or other offers, whereas Trustpilot does not.
It's not called affiliate advertising for nothing.
I am a bit surprised that your lawyers did not recognize this relevant and easily recognizable difference in the present context.
Nevertheless, I keep my fingers crossed that the GGL will continue to limit itself to regulating the BILD newspaper and allow you to continue with affiliate advertising during the day, because you are the only authentic German-speaking community in this area. Keep up the good work.
