Which is the best online casino in Germany?

According to the official whitelist of the gambling authority, exactly 40 companies are now in possession of a German licence for virtual slot games. The companies operate platforms such as StarGames, Jokerstar, DrückGlück, Novoline, LeoVegas, Spinz, Wildz, JackpotPiraten and many more. But which will be the best online casino in Germany in 2023? We took a closer look at the current rankings and listed the pros and cons.

GambleJoe that a Gauselmann subsidiary had been awarded the first licence for online slots in Germany. The Gauselmann subsidiary, which at that time was still called Mernov Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, now operates under the name DGGS Deutsche Gesellschaft für Glücksspiel mbH, is based in Berlin and operates the online casinos JackpotPiraten and BingBong, which are listed on GambleJoe. But are these first movers still attractive and popular with players today? Competition has certainly increased. After all, 40 gambling companies now have a German licence for virtual slot machines.

What are the current best online casinos 2023?

A look at GambleJoe's "online casino ranking" shows that StarGames is currently in the lead with a test result of over 94%. StarGames scores particularly well with the fact that the popular Merkur and Novoline slots can be played here. These include the classics Book of Ra, Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe, Dolphin's Pearl, Lord of the Ocean, El Torero and Blazing Star. It was only in mid-February of this year that we reported that StarGames had finally been awarded a German online slots licence.

New customers to the StarGames gaming site currently receive up to 100 free spins and an attractive welcome bonus of up to €100. Payments can also be made conveniently via PayPal. And what do GambleJoe users say about StarGames? They praise the fact that deposits are possible from as little as €5 and that there is an attractive selection of games.

Wildz casino is the recommendation of GambleJoe community

While the Wildz online casino could only manage 14th place in the "GambleJoe Ranking", the community rating is much better. With an average rating of 81.3%, Wildz is currently the winner in the community ranking. This could be due to the many unusual promotions, PayPal as a payment method and the attractive 100% up to €100 bonus plus 200 free spins.

A look at the user reviews of Wildz casino also shows that there are very few complaints. The main complaints are that the support could be better and that there are too few providers. Otherwise, the vast majority of GambleJoe users are very satisfied with the Wildz service. Among other things, they praise the fast payouts, the appealing variety of games and the good deposit offer.

Other recommended online casinos at a glance

In total, we currently list 17 online gaming casinos on GambleJoe (as of August 2023). Although 40 companies now have a German licence for online slots, many platforms are not yet accessible as they are still under development. In addition to StarGames and Wildz, there are of course several other online gaming sites that are well received by both our "gambling experts" and the community.

For example, Lapalingo.de, with a user rating of 81.0%, and NetBet, with a rating of 80.7%, are highly rated by the community. However, Lapalingo is often criticised for having too high a wagering requirement for bonus promotions. On the other hand, Lapalingo.de has an attractive loyalty points programme and occasional no deposit bonuses.

Users of the NetBet casino complain that the site does not always run reliably and that the site is not very attractive. On the other hand, many GambleJoe users appreciate the site's many years of experience and the wide range of bonus offers.

And which online casino is your favorite?

GambleJoe's community likes Wildz, StarGames, Lapalingo and NetBet the most (min. 80% user rating). Merkur Spiel and DrückGlück come off a little worse with a community rating of 74.5% and 73.2% respectively.

We at GambleJoe have a slightly different taste and recommend Jokerstar (90.4%) and DrückGlück (89.2%) in addition to StarGames (94.4%). And what are your experiences with the German online casinos so far? Which is your favourite and which ones do you recommend less?
