Prediction markets in Germany
Of the 57 platforms we review, 19 are open to residents of Germany, 5 with restrictions and 13 exclude them. For 20 the published terms do not say either way.
Online gambling is overseen by the GGL, the joint gambling authority of the federal states, and financial products by BaFin. EU-wide restrictions in some platforms’ terms also cover Germany.
Each line reports what the platform’s own terms say, with the source we read and when. It is not legal advice, and a platform can still refuse an individual account. Last checked 19 Oct 2026.
