Online lottery in Germany: questions
Which lottery sites accept players from Germany?
We list the lottery sites we rank whose terms accept players from Germany, in order of our score. A site whose terms exclude Germany is left out. Sites change their country lists, so check again when you sign up. How we score sites is on how we rank.
Is it legal to play the lottery online from Germany?
The gambling law we hold for Germany is the Glücksspielstaatsvertrag 2021 (GlüStV 2021). Online lottery is restricted in Germany, so check the law where you live before you buy.
What currency will I pay in from Germany?
Germany uses the Euro. Draws from the US, such as Powerball and Mega Millions, set their prices and prizes in US dollars, so the exchange rate changes what a line costs you and what a prize is worth.
Does the site I buy from change my odds?
No. The odds are set by the draw, not by the site. What differs between sites is the price per line and the fees, so compare those rather than the jackpot. Most lines win nothing; see responsible gambling for limits and help.
Who do I complain to if a site does not pay?
Every site we rank shows the licence it holds. A complaint about a payment or a prize goes to the site first, then to the body that licenses it, so check that licence before you deposit.
Set the spend before you pick the numbers.
Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
