Gambling advertising is regulated in Germany. Advertising is only permitted for legal gambling.

There are also restrictions regarding the way advertising may be conducted:

• Gambling advertising must not give the impression that players can influence gambling.
• Between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. (daily), no advertising for virtual slot machines, online poker and online casino games is permitted on radio and the internet.
• No advertising for sports betting on a sporting event may be broadcast on the channel broadcasting the event immediately before or during the live broadcast of that event.

If you have evidence that advertising for legal online gambling violates these regulations, you can report it to the relevant authority. You can also report it if you have evidence that illegal online gambling is being advertised.
