What This Is
Open Casino in Germany is an independent research hub covering Germany's online gambling licensing regime — the Vierter Glücksspielstaatsvertrag (GlüStV 2021) and the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) that enforces it — alongside a head-to-head comparison of six iGaming technology platforms with genuine Germany or DACH-region relevance: Merkur (Gauselmann Group), Greentube, SOFTSWISS, Gamanza, FAZI, and PWP.BET.
The comparison isn't a ranking, and no platform receives a score or an “editor's choice” badge. Each profile lists what a given platform discloses publicly — licensing, catalog, payments, scale, track record — and is equally clear about what it doesn't disclose. Where a platform's own materials are silent on a fact, this site says so rather than estimating it.
How We Research
Every fact on this site traces back to a named company's own published materials, an independent industry tracker, or a primary regulatory or legal source on Germany — GGL publications, the GlüStV 2021 text, and legal or industry commentary, cited inline where relevant. No platform compared here, including any mentioned by name, was independently hands-on tested.
