Germany is one of the most powerful countries in the world: it's the most populous country in the European Union with over 80M inhabitants, and German is considered a world language. We all know German car brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, or Porsche. Besides having a global city with its capital, Berlin, Germany is also home to some of the world's largest celebrations like the Oktoberfest, which takes place in Munich.

German legal poker background

Although we can consider Germany as a superpower in poker, the country isn't precisely gambling-friendly; the good news is that the German online poker laws (The Interstate Treaty prohibited online poker in 2012) are the typical example of a not enforced regulation.

Therefore, German poker players are welcome in almost all online poker rooms. In short, it's illegal to host online poker games in Germany, but it's not prosecuted or forbidden to join international poker rooms.

As a result, German poker players can join to join virtually any online poker room, and payment processors such as Skrill or Neteller operate smoothly in the country.

It is worth mentioning that German poker players must declare their gaming profits if these are their primary source of income.
