bet365 com not allowed in Germany
The German version of bet365’s website, https://casino.bet365.com/home/de/ suggests that the company’s offer is legal in Germany. However, according to current case law, this is not the case: since the beginning of 2019, online casino offers count as illegal gambling and may not be operated.
However, the legal situation does not always seem to be known even to thoroughly reputable media. For example, the website Chip.de advertises the download of bet365, although it is currently illegal gambling.
We have already dealt with the topic in great detail and are happy to explain to you what the legal situation currently looks like. Read more here:
bet365 bonus: easy money or not?
The high jackpots of various games on bet365 give the impression that a lot of money can be won. As a rule, however, the provider usually wins in a casino. In addition, gambling carries the risk of gambling addiction. bet365 wants to live up to its responsibility by providing a pop-up on the topic of gambling addiction prevention.
Here, the company presents options such as deposit limits, activity reminders, a time-out or self-blocking. Mind you, these are options – whether they are used is up to the player.
How predictable is gambling?
bet365 wants to explain gambling itself to its customers. The nature of the explanations and phrases such as “(…) will help you make informed decisions, (…)” can give the impression that gambling is a rational business activity.
In addition, bet365 solicits customers with a loyalty programme. Those who play regularly receive points and can advance from bronze (beginner) to gold status.
What monetary advantage one has from this is not clear at first glance – possibly the points are to be exchanged 1:1 into euros. How likely it is that a customer will actually receive 500,000 bonus points in gold status remains open for the time being.
Is the bet365 app worth it?
Anyone who invests money in an online casino must generally expect to lose their entire stake. Also, the promised winnings may occasionally be lower than expected. In our opinion, however, there are chances to recover lost money.
Since the legal situation is complex, it is advisable to seek advice from an expert:
“Online casinos like bet365 advertise with a European licence – this looks reputable and initially makes a good impression,” explains lawyer Sarah Wagner-Arendt. “Many participants therefore often don’t even know that the offer is illegal in Germany.”
