Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Each country has its own rules. The guides explain them. This note does not link to any casino.

• Germany

  GlüStV 2021, supervised by the GGL. § 22a (6): a virtual slot game must last at least five seconds on average. § 22a (7) sentence 1: the stake may not exceed one euro per game. Sentence 2 lets the authority adjust that maximum. Self-exclusion runs through OASIS, the nationwide cross-operator file; the GGL says the Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt remains responsible for it.

• Austria

  The Austria guide covers the Gambling Act (Glücksspielgesetz, GSpG) and the Austrian Lotteries platform win2day. This note does not restate that guide and does not link casinos. The Finance Ministry publishes the Länder counselling list. It does not print one nationwide state hotline. Spielsuchthilfe in Vienna is on that list at 01 544 13 57.

• Switzerland

  Since 1 January 2019 the Money Gaming Act (Geldspielgesetz, BGS) has been in force. The ESBK says it replaced the Casino Act (Spielbankengesetz) of 18 December 1998 and the Lottery Act of 8 June 1923. Online casino games need a concession extension and an ESBK permit. The Swiss National Bank calls the Swiss franc the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein; its rates print the code CHF.
