A few days ago, the state-owned Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg acquired the sought-after German Gambling Authority licence for virtual slot machines. This permits the lottery company of the region of Baden Württemberg to provide legitimate online slots such as Book of Dead or Ramses Book. Can one already make use of the online casino of Lotto BW?

Around one and a half years ago we had reported that Lotto BW plans to open a state-owned casino. Now it is clear: the state-owned Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg has acquired a German gambling licence and may provide virtual slot machines on the internet.

Lotto Baden-Württemberg acquires licence for “lotto-bw.de”

Lotto BW is launching its platform “lotto-bw.de”. According to an update of the official whitelist the state-owned lottery company acquired its licence on the 5th. June 2023. However, till now no online casino is available on the domain. Visitors can “only” take part in the famous lotteries as Lotto 6aus49, Eurojackpot or KENO. It is currently still not known when Lotto BW will launch its online casino.

Lotto BW will soon launch second state-owned online casino

The platform “lotto-bw.de” will in the future be the second online casino which is state-owned and holds a German licence. The state-owned Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg is a complete subsidiary company of the region of Baden-Württemberg. At the end of January we had reported that “die-spielbank.de“ is the first state-owned online casino.

The official whitelist gives an overview of the legal providers in Germany. The list is regularly updated and extended. The latest whitelist which includes the Lotto BW can be accessed online here: Offizielle Whitelist der deutschen Glücksspielbehörde

Whilst most of the online casinos in the whitelist have their registered office in Malta, the state-owned company Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg is registered in Germany. In fact, the company’s business address is in Nordbahnhofstraße in Stuttgart. In mid-March we had informed our readers about which providers currently hold a German games of chance licence.

The state-owned Toto-Lotto GmbH Baden-Württemberg (in short: Lotto BW) was founded in 1948 and currently employs around 200 people. In 2022 the lottery company of the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg generated a turnover of 1,07 billion Euro. The executive director of Lotto BW is Georg Wacker and he has been in this position since 2018.

Conclusion

Since the beginning of June the state-owned lottery company of the region of Baden-Württemberg also holds a German licence for virtual slot machines. The licence was issued by the GGL (Gemeinsamen Glücksspielbehörde der Länder), which is the gambling regulator in Germany. However, till now there is no online casino on the platform “lotto-bw.de”. We can’t wait for the launch of this project of Lotto Baden-Württemberg and to see what games will be provided.
