MORE SECURITY WITH THE GERMAN LICENSE

Can you legally bet in Germany? This is a question that is often asked in sports betting circles, since the legal situation has not been clearly regulated for years. But now at NEO.bet it can be answered with a clear “yes”. NEO.bet becomes one of the first provider with a German sports betting license. After years of negotiations, the time has finally come and a uniform regulation regarding gaming has been found in Germany. As a user of NEO.bet, you can be one of the first to benefit from it.

A license for sports betting is much more than an “operating license” in Germany. Because it also regulates other topics such as addiction prevention and above all the protection of user data according to German law. NEO.bet is therefore not only a TÜV-certified betting provider, but also one of the first with the official nationwide sports betting license.

SPORTS BETTING AT NEO.BET: WHAT DOES GERMAN LICENSE MEAN?

For years, the legal situation in Germany regarding gaming has been somewhat complicated and confusing. Before the German license was issued, betting providers based and licensed abroad were allowed to place betting offers. At the beginning of the year there were renegotiations, in which the federal states agreed on a generally valid gaming contract, which is valid for private providers under German law. Specifically, this means that NEO.bet is one of the first providers to be legitimized by the state in Germany.

THE EU LICENSE

For legal reasons, a German license for sports betting has not been the standard for years. This was preceded by a judgment of the European Court of Justice, which contained that the state gaming monopoly is not compatible with the requirements of the European Union. In 2011, the German State Treaty on Gaming was renewed and there was a much more sophisticated variant in Schleswig-Holstein. Official German licenses are still available there, but they only apply in this federal state. The plans of the German government with a limited number of licenses were never implemented due to an EU objection. A new German license was announced at the end of 2019 and has been implemented since this year. By issuing the German license, we at NEO.bet have, in addition to the license from Malta and Schleswig-Holstein, another legal anchoring that makes your bet more secure. So you can rely on your bet with us even more.
