Whitelist
The whitelist is the GGL's official list of every provider allowed to offer gambling and sports betting legally in Germany.
At a glance
What is the GGL's whitelist?
The whitelist is a public register kept by the GGL. It names every provider that holds a valid licence for sports betting or other gambling in Germany. Anyone not on the list may not offer legally here. The list is kept up to date.
The guide GGL licence and legal sports betting explains the wider context.
How does the whitelist help you?
With the whitelist, you can check in seconds whether a provider is reputable and licensed. That protects you from unregulated offers, where player protection, fair odds and a secure payout are not assured. A betting shop should ideally work with a listed provider.
How to use the whitelist properly
- Match the name: check that the provider is listed exactly as named.
- Look for the licence in the shop: reputable betting shops display theirs.
- Steer clear if in doubt: a provider not on the list counts as illegal.
