As an outsider and not familiar with e.g. licenses, the site also gives the impression that it is legal. At Lottoland there is even a 24-hour block button, what n nonsense, and they only have MGA licenses on the sites that currently operate them. It's downright cheeky to report players who just want to gamble a little. Typical Germany

They have recently been added to the whitelist and have therefore become legal. ADVICE 18+ | Lottoland Deutschland GmbH has received permission for the German market | AK-Kurier.de


Nevertheless, the site gave this impression before the "legalization". More so than Platincasino or other providers. Therefore, any cases involving Lottoland should be dropped.

Yes, but only this site and not Lottoland.com.

As far as I know, this is still illegal

Hi there, my lines above were meant more as a joke.

There is nothing new with me, except that I found out that a few of my family and friends were still active with Lottohelden, or still are.
Everyone was immediately speechless and thought I was taking the p**s.

It wasn't just the worker or employee who played and didn't know about the illegality of the site, but also the civil servant.

Even outsiders who didn't play there and whom I showed the Lottohelden homepage would have played there.
You can't make the site any more German than that.

Anyway, I'm waiting for my lawyer to get back to me.

Have a nice evening everyone...

And have any of the people mentioned been charged or convicted?

No, they haven't received anything yet.

But they were all very shocked.
I'm curious to see if anything will come of it...

Concerns only lottoland.de and lottohelden.de not the.com domain are listed under a different operator and are still illegal.

This is how almost all licensed providers do it, simply found / acquire new subsidiaries with a German license and the money still flows to the parent company, which continues to offer illegal promotions, only it is thus an independent new company and the GGL is no longer interested.
