Betsson has applied for and received clearance from Darmstadt Regional Council to operate online sports betting throughout Germany.

Besides the sports betting licences which have now been granted, the New Interstate Treaty, which paves the way for the regulation and opening up of the market for online slots and poker in Germany, is scheduled to come into force on July 1.
“We are pleased to finally receive this licence and we are preparing to relaunch our German Sportsbook shortly under the German regulation.
"Operating sports betting in Germany is part of our strategy of strengthening our position in existing markets by prioritising segments where Betsson has the best conditions to offer leading products. We look forward to offering German customers great entertainment,” said Pontus Lindwall, CEO of Betsson.
