Ministry of Interior of the State of Schleswig-Holstein

In 2012, Schleswig-Holstein allowed online casinos to submit license applications for a six-month timeframe.

This made the German Schleswig-Holstein first to license online gambling casinos in the region. All the state’s online licences were issued at that time for a six-year duration.

Although the state has joined the federal regulations governing gambling, those licenses issued or renewed prior to joining with other states under the federal act are still active and allow licensed casinos to operate within the region.

Following strict regulations, these casinos are considered safe to wager, as the online licenses permitted well-respected gambling establishments in Europe and Germany online operating rights.
