\u201eIn casino marketing, "new" is the most misused word after "exclusive." Fresh, more modern, better than the old guard\u2014that's how any portal older than three weeks is marketed. But what really matters is something else: Is the provider on the whitelist of the Joint Gambling Authority of the German states? Does it comply with the regulations of the 2021 Interstate Treaty on Gambling? And what technically distinguishes it from the rest of the field? This guide objectively assesses the field of new online casinos for the German market.<\/p>\n
Before we begin, some context: As of spring 2026, around 95 providers are active with a GGL license, of which approximately 13 are authorized to offer virtual slot machines. The market is manageable, and new entrants can be counted on one hand\u2014and the term "new" often means "newly licensed," not "newly founded." Many providers that were whitelisted in 2024 or 2025 have already been operating internationally for years. They simply managed to navigate the German compliance process.<\/p>\n
In the German context, a new online casino isn't a fledgling brand that registered a domain last week. A new casino is a provider that has recently been added to the GGL whitelist. The process behind this is arduous. Applications for a license under Section 4a of the Interstate Gambling Treaty (Gl\u00fcStV) must be extensively documented: corporate structure, ownership, technical infrastructure, addiction prevention systems, connection to LUGAS and OASIS, security for customer deposits, and proof of responsible personnel. Those who complete the process have run a marathon. Those who don't can still advertise\u2014just without a German license.<\/p>\n
What this means for players: If a provider is newly whitelisted, it has passed rigorous checks. This is a seal of quality, not proof of innovative slot mechanics or particularly friendly customer support. However, for the fundamental question\u2014legal or not\u2014whitelisting is the key factor. Everything else is secondary.<\/p>\n
A second point: The Interstate Gambling Treaty 2021 (Gl\u00fcStV 2021) replaces the previous situation of the de facto total ban under Section 4 Paragraph 4 of the Gl\u00fcStV 2012. Only since July 2021 has there been a nationwide license for virtual slot machines and online poker. This means that every German-licensed provider is, strictly speaking, no more than five years old\u2014at least as far as their legal status in the unified federal market is concerned. The term "new" thus quickly loses its precise definition.<\/p>\n
Anyone looking for new online casinos today will find a market that is less than five years old\u2014at least in its current form. The timeline is short enough to trace in detail, and long enough to identify patterns.<\/p>\n
July 1, 2021: The 2021 State Treaty on Gambling comes into force. The transitional arrangement allows providers temporary tolerance until formal licensing, provided they adhere to the new rules. Approximately 25 providers apply for this temporary allowance.<\/p>\n
2022: The Joint Gambling Authority of the German states commences regular operations in Halle (Saale). The first formal licenses for virtual slot machines are issued. Among the first licensees are JackpotPiraten, StarGames, L\u00f6wen Play, and Merkur Slots. The whitelist is published as a public register for the first time.<\/p>\n
2023: The number of licensed providers rises to double digits. In addition to established German names, international brands such as LeoVegas and Bwin also receive German licenses. At the same time, some international brands leave the market completely because the German regulations are not economically viable for them.<\/p>\n
2024: The GGL begins to prosecute unauthorized providers more systematically. The first fines are imposed on unlicensed providers who, despite the ban, are targeting German users. The whitelist now includes approximately 40 providers across all license types. Wildz, Lapalingo, and other brands are added.<\/p>\n
2025: The market consolidates. New approvals continue, but at a slower pace. For the first time, the GGL revokes several licenses due to regulatory violations\u2014mostly due to inadequate implementation of the LUGAS system or advertising infringements. The market learns: A license is not a permanent state, but an ongoing compliance requirement.<\/p>\n
2026: Approximately 95 license holders are listed on the whitelist, 13 of whom are licensed for virtual slot machines. DNS blocking against unauthorized providers is systematically implemented. Advertising restrictions between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. are firmly established. The German market has reached a stable, but tightly regulated framework.<\/p>\n
The impact of this development on "new casinos" is concrete. New licenses are increasingly granted by established international groups launching additional brands under their German license. Completely new startups are rare\u2014the effort required to obtain a license and get the technical stack running with GLI certification is considerable for newcomers. Most "new casinos" in 2026 will either be subsidiaries of large corporations or rebrandings of existing brands.<\/p>\n
The path to obtaining a license leads through GGL, based in Halle (Saale). Applicants submit extensive documentation, including a reliability check of the individuals involved, a concept for player protection and addiction prevention, technical proof of slot machine certification, compliance procedures against money laundering, and a German authorized representative for service of process. The review process typically takes between six and eighteen months.<\/p>\n
After the license is granted, the technical connection to the central systems follows. LUGAS monitors the cross-provider deposit limits, while OASIS monitors player exclusions. Both systems run server-side and cannot be circumvented\u2014at least not without breaking the rules, which leads to immediate account closure. Additionally, each individual slot software is submitted separately for approval by the provider. A slot that is not on the GGL's positive list cannot be offered. This explains why the portfolio at German-licensed casinos is significantly smaller than at international establishments: titles like Sweet Bonanza in certain variations or classic progressive jackpots are missing. However, this lack of transparency is also a factor.<\/p>\n
And yes, a license can be revoked. Violations of the rules\u2014such as incorrect implementation of the LUGAS limit, unauthorized advertising, or inadequate player protection\u2014lead to fines and, in extreme cases, to the revocation of the license. The GGL has issued several warnings in the past two years and, in some cases, revoked licenses. This is why the whitelist is constantly changing. It is not a static document, but a continuously updated inventory.<\/p>\n
Without updating the whitelist daily\u2014which you should do directly on gluecksspiel-behoerde.de\u2014a general pattern can be described. Over the past twelve months, several brands from large, internationally established groups have been added. These include further subsidiaries of the Merkur and Novomatic groups, specialized slot portals, and individual brands from major sports betting providers that have expanded their portfolios to include virtual slot games. Names like MerkurSlots, L\u00f6wen Play, StarGames, JackpotPiraten, Wildz, Lapalingo, and the slot offerings from Bwin and Bet-at-home are part of the established core. Newer brands often follow the same parent companies.<\/p>\n
What's striking is that the newly licensed portals differ little from established ones in their core functions. The regulations are so stringent that room for innovation in the slot offerings remains limited. Where new providers truly excel is in user interface, payment processes, loading times, and mobile apps. Those launching in 2026 operate with a modern tech stack, often without legacy baggage. An established casino from the early days of licensing sometimes still carries around interface legacies from 2021\u2014not a deal-breaker, but a noticeable difference.<\/p>\n
The market structure of German online casinos is determined less by individual brands than by the corporate groups behind them. Looking at this structure helps to categorize "new" offerings\u2014often a new brand is simply another offshoot of an established corporation.<\/p>\n
The Gauselmann Group (Merkur), with its various brands, is one of the biggest players in the gaming industry. Merkur Slots is a purely online slot provider, JackpotPiraten is an independent brand focusing on German slot classics, and there are several other subsidiaries. The group benefits from decades of experience with land-based casinos\u2014a fact reflected in its compliance culture and slot selection. New Merkur Group brands often launch with a portfolio primarily featuring its own titles.<\/p>\n
The L\u00f6wen Play Group operates on a similar principle. The L\u00f6wen Play brand is strongly rooted in the land-based sector, while the online offering complements the existing business. New brands within the group bring with them the established compliance infrastructure, which accelerates the licensing process.<\/p>\n
The Entain Group is behind Bwin, Ladbrokes, and several other brands. Internationally, it is one of the largest gambling companies, focusing in Germany on sports betting and complementary casino and poker offerings. New brands from the group in the German market are more likely to be rebrandings or additions than completely new developments.<\/p>\n
The Betsson Group has established a unique positioning with its German subsidiary. Smaller than Merkur or Entain, but with a modern tech stack and an aggressive bonus policy within the framework of the German Interstate Gambling Treaty (Gl\u00fcStV) regulations.<\/p>\n
Other relevant corporations include LeoVegas (part of the MGM Group), Kindred (Unibet and other brands), and the Betano Group. In each of these groups, a new brand from within the corporate environment typically adopts the parent company's compliance infrastructure. Relaunching a brand is therefore less risky for the corporation and less unfamiliar to users than the new brand name might suggest.<\/p>\n
For users, this means: When a new brand appears, it's worth checking the legal notice. The operator is listed there\u2014often a well-known subsidiary of a large corporation. This isn't a guarantee of service quality, but it is an indicator of stability. Brands launching on the German market without corporate affiliation are rare and usually niche providers.<\/p>\n
| criterion<\/th>\n | New providers (2025\/2026)<\/th>\n | Established providers (since 2021\/2022)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n |
|---|---|---|
| User interface<\/td>\n | Often more modern, mobile-first, clean menus<\/td>\n | Varies; some legacy interfaces have been revised multiple times.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Slot portfolio<\/td>\n | Current titles are quickly available, often fewer classics.<\/td>\n | Wide selection of Merkur, Novoline and NetEnt classics<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Welcome offers<\/td>\n | Often more aggressive (within the framework of the GGL rules)<\/td>\n | Conservative, but reliable standard actions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |

| Support structure<\/td>\n | Often, the chat process begins with AI assistance, followed by a later handover to a human.<\/td>\n | Established hotlines, some staffed around the clock<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Slot approvals<\/td>\n | Applications for approval are underway, portfolio is growing monthly<\/td>\n | Fully approved, stable portfolio<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
| Bonus program for existing customers<\/td>\n | In the process of building up, often still thin<\/td>\n | Sophisticated reload and cashback structure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n The blanket statement "new is better" doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Those who value a broad slot portfolio, well-established processes, and a reliable payout history are better off with the established providers. Those seeking modern interfaces and aggressive welcome offers will find them more readily with newcomers. Both are legitimate; neither category is inherently more reputable than the other\u2014as long as the GGL license is in place.<\/p>\n Country licenses for live casinos: What Schleswig-Holstein, Bavaria and Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg do differently<\/h2>\nAn often overlooked aspect of the German market: The nationwide GGL license only applies to virtual slot machines and online poker. Classic casino games\u2014roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and live dealer games\u2014fall under the jurisdiction of the individual federal states. This separation explains why GGL-licensed providers do not offer live roulette and why the selection of classic table games in the German online market is so limited.<\/p>\n For years, Schleswig-Holstein was a special case. Even before the 2021 Interstate Gambling Treaty (Gl\u00fcStV), Germany's northernmost state had its own gambling law with its own licensing structure. Until the nationwide treaty came into effect, providers could also offer classic casino games online using a Schleswig-Holstein license. After 2021, the regulations were adjusted\u2014providers with a Schleswig-Holstein license for table games were allowed to continue using their existing licenses, but new ones were issued under the nationwide framework. In practical terms, this means that some providers with a Schleswig-Holstein license continue to offer live roulette and blackjack, but only for users from Schleswig-Holstein\u2014a restriction enforced through location verification.<\/p>\n In 2024, Bavaria adopted its own approach. The Bavarian state government granted licenses for online casino games to selected providers, primarily in connection with state-run casinos. The scope is limited, and the offerings are focused. For users in Bavaria, this opens up a legal option for online roulette and blackjack, but only with providers holding explicit Bavarian authorization.<\/p>\n Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg is following suit. Licenses for online casino games were also granted there starting in 2024, again in conjunction with the state lottery company. The market is still smaller than in Bavaria, but the structure is similar.<\/p>\n What this means for search queries for "new online casinos": Those living in Bavaria or Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg may have access to offers that are not available in the rest of Germany. Residents of Schleswig-Holstein have similar additional options. For the rest of the country, the selection remains limited to virtual slot machines and online poker\u2014with the corresponding providers from the GGL whitelist.<\/p>\n Providers who present themselves as "new" and offer live casino games for all of Germany either operate with a state license and are only permitted to advertise their services regionally, or they operate without a German license. The difference is practical: a legal regional provider or an unlicensed federal provider.<\/p>\n New casinos with payment methods in detail: Paysafecard, Apple Pay, Klarna<\/h2>\nThe choice of payment methods is often a unique selling point for new casinos. Established providers have built up their payment infrastructure over years and find it more difficult to quickly integrate new methods. New providers often start with the latest selection and differentiate themselves through this.<\/p>\n Paysafecard remains the most important prepaid option. It allows anonymous deposits up to certain amounts, which is popular with some users. The downside: withdrawals are not possible with Paysafecard; you need an alternative method for withdrawals. New providers regularly integrate Paysafecard because its user base is stable.<\/p>\n Apple Pay is more frequently integrated with new providers than with established ones. Verification is done via the payment information stored in the Apple account, which greatly simplifies the deposit process on iOS devices. A different method is required for withdrawals because Apple Pay typically only works unilaterally in Germany.<\/p>\n Google Pay is the Android equivalent. It has similar advantages and disadvantages to Apple Pay. Both methods are mobile-optimized and fit the mobile-first approach of new providers.<\/p>\n Klarna is a special case. The brand is well-known in e-commerce, but operates under strict regulations in the gambling sector. Klarna "Sofort" (formerly Sofort\u00fcberweisung) only works with GGL-licensed providers. Klarna "Sp\u00e4ter bezahlen" (Pay Later) is not available in the gambling context\u2014providing credit for gambling stakes would be legally problematic.<\/p>\n Trustly is the established provider for direct online banking transfers. At new casinos, Trustly is often the fastest method for both deposits and withdrawals \u2013 within seconds and hours.<\/p>\n SEPA transfers are the classic fallback method. Secure, accepted by every provider, but slow. New providers usually position SEPA as a last resort because the processing time negates the competitive advantage of modern payment methods.<\/p>\n What new casinos in Germany definitely cannot do (even if advertising suggests otherwise)<\/h2>\nThere are a number of advertising promises that are not valid with any GGL-licensed provider\u2014new or old. Anyone who sees a casino making the following promises is playing with a provider outside the German legal framework.<\/p>\n First: Live casino games, roulette, or blackjack are not legally offered nationwide. The Interstate Gambling Treaty (Gl\u00fcStV 2021) only permits virtual slot machines and online poker nationwide. Live dealer games and classic table games fall under the jurisdiction of the individual states; separate licenses exist in Schleswig-Holstein, and partially in Bavaria and Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. A "new online casino" advertising live roulette is either misleadingly advertised or unlicensed.<\/p>\n Secondly: Progressive jackpots. The German Interstate Treaty on Gambling (Gl\u00fcStV) prohibits progressive jackpots in virtual slot games. A German-licensed provider is simply not allowed to offer them. Popular slots like Mega Moolah in their classic form are not playable on the legal German market.<\/p>\n Thirdly: Auto-Play and Turbo-Spin. Both are prohibited everywhere. Every spin must be a conscious decision; a 5-second pause applies between spins.<\/p>\n Fourth: Deposits exceeding \u20ac1,000 per month are permitted without special authorization. This limit applies across all licensed providers. An increase to up to \u20ac10,000, or in exceptional cases \u20ac30,000 per month, is possible, but requires proof of income and a GGL (German Banking Act) verification. No provider can circumvent this unilaterally.<\/p>\n Fifth: Bonuses without verification. At every legal casino, full account verification (KYC) is mandatory before the first withdrawal. Anyone promising "fast payouts without paperwork" is making a promise that is illegal in Germany.<\/p>\n What new providers are doing differently from a technical standpoint: A look under the hood<\/h2>\nA new casino launched in 2025 or 2026 operates with a different tech stack than a provider that launched its platform in 2021. The differences are sometimes noticeable to users, sometimes invisible\u2014but they all affect daily use.<\/p>\n Regarding the frontend: New providers almost universally build their platforms with a mobile-first approach. This means their primary target device class is smartphones and tablets, not desktop computers. The consequences are clear: large buttons, clear menu navigation, fast loading times on mobile networks, and often standalone Progressive Web App functions instead of separate native apps. Established providers from the first licensing wave of 2021 have often subsequently optimized their platforms for mobile devices\u2014this is evident in inconsistencies in the details: some areas are brilliantly implemented for mobile, while others still show signs of their desktop origins.<\/p>\n Regarding the backend: New providers often integrate modern data analytics systems directly into their user experience. Personalized recommendations, adaptive bonus promotions, dynamic adjustment of the homepage to user behavior\u2014all of this is often more advanced with new providers than with established ones. Whether this is an advantage depends on your perspective: Those who want more intelligent slot recommendations benefit. Those who find personalization intrusive are better off with more conservative, older platforms.<\/p>\n Regarding payment integration: New providers often integrate Trustly, Klarna, Apple Pay, and Google Pay directly. Established providers also support these methods, but the integration is often added later, which can lead to problems with unusual transactions.<\/p>\n Regarding slot infrastructure: Both categories use the same slot providers \u2014 Play'n GO, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Merkur, Novomatic. However, the integration into the platform can differ. New providers often use modern aggregators that allow for the rapid addition of new slot titles. Established providers sometimes work directly with providers, which means deeper integration but slower portfolio expansion.<\/p>\n Regarding support: The difference here is ambivalent. New providers often rely on AI pre-filters in the chat that automatically answer simple questions and forward more complex cases to human agents. This can be faster\u2014or more frustrating if the filter misclassifies the issue. Established providers often have traditionally staffed support hotlines and chat channels with direct access to employees.<\/p>\n Bonus structures of new providers compared to established providers<\/h2>\nNew providers enter the market with the goal of gaining market share. This is reflected in their welcome offers. Bonus amounts are often more aggressive for newcomers\u2014not in absolute terms (which are regulated by the Interstate Gambling Treaty), but in the combination of bonus amount, free spins, and cashback during the first week.<\/p>\n Typical welcome packages from new providers in 2025 and 2026 combine a 100% bonus on the first deposit up to \u20ac100 or \u20ac200 with 50 to 200 free spins, often distributed over several days. Wagering requirements range from 25x to 35x\u2014at the lower end of what is legally permissible. Established providers often operate with 30x to 40x requirements, but they typically have more sophisticated loyalty programs for existing customers.<\/p>\n The picture is reversed when it comes to bonuses for existing customers. New providers haven't yet established a functioning loyalty system because they lack the necessary data. What you get from newcomers is a strong initial offer followed by relative silence. With established providers, the welcome offers are more conservative, but their ongoing reload bonuses, cashback programs, and VIP structures are more sophisticated.<\/p>\n Those who only use the bonus once to get acquainted with the new provider are better off. Those who plan to play regularly are usually more economical in the long run with the established provider.<\/p>\n Warning signs: How to recognize unlicensed "new" casinos at first glance<\/h2>\nA look at the search results for "new online casinos" reveals that, alongside legitimate providers, numerous domains advertise with MGA, Cura\u00e7ao, or Anjouan licenses, yet still target German players. These providers are not authorized for users from Germany, even if their websites are written in perfect German.<\/p>\n Here's a quick check: The domain should be checked at gluecksspiel-behoerde.de. If it's not on the whitelist, the provider is unlicensed. It's also worth taking a look at the legal notice (Impressum). If there's no German address, no German authorized representative for service of process, or no explicit GGL license number, the situation is clear. The available payment methods also provide clues: PayPal, Trustly, Giropay, and Klarna only cooperate with licensed providers. If a casino exclusively offers cryptocurrencies, obscure e-wallets, or direct bank transfers to foreign accounts, that's a major red flag.<\/p>\n Additionally, check: Advertising with "no limits," "no LUGAS," "no 5-second rule," or "no OASIS" is a direct admission of circumventing German law. Such providers are not only risky for you as a German player, but since 2026 they have also become technically more difficult to access: The GGL systematically implements DNS blocks against unauthorized services. Using a VPN to bypass the block violates the terms and conditions of virtually all providers\u2014with the consequence that accounts can be blocked and winnings confiscated.<\/p>\n Payment service providers as an indicator of legality<\/h2>\nAnyone wanting to check whether a new provider is truly licensed can use the available payment methods as a quick indicator. In Germany, established payment service providers only cooperate with licensed providers. This is due to the payment service provider ban under Section 4 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 of the Interstate Gambling Treaty 2021, which prohibits transfers to unauthorized providers.<\/p>\n PayPal is the most prominent example. The service withdrew from the German online gambling market in 2022 and has since only cooperated with select licensed providers. A new provider offering PayPal as an option is highly likely to hold a GGL license\u2014PayPal's vetting process is at least as rigorous as that of the GGL itself.<\/p>\n Trustly and Sofort\u00fcberweisung are also clearly tied to licensed providers. Klarna restructured its partnerships with gambling providers after 2021 and currently only works with German-licensed brands. While Giropay is declining in general e-commerce, it remains an indicator of legality in the gambling sector.<\/p>\n A provider that primarily accepts cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT), obscure e-wallets, or credit cards with foreign clearing houses is highly likely operating without a German license. Cryptocurrencies as the sole payment option are a clear warning sign.<\/p>\n The payment methods themselves also reveal a lot. A GGL-licensed provider requires name, date of birth, and address for deposits\u2014data that is reported to LUGAS. A provider that accepts deposits without this basic information (for example, using only an email address and payment service provider account) operates outside the German regulatory framework.<\/p>\n New providers offering starting credit without deposit: What is realistic<\/h2>\nA common search term is the combination of "new online casinos" and "no deposit starting credit". The expectation: a new provider advertising for new customers and offering a particularly generous no-deposit bonus.<\/p>\n The reality in the legal German market: Starting credit without a deposit is not generally more generous with new providers than with established ones. The advertising restrictions of the Interstate Gambling Treaty (Gl\u00fcStV) apply equally to all licensed providers. A newcomer is not allowed to offer a \u20ac100 no-deposit bonus, no matter how much they want to establish themselves in the market. What new providers actually do more often are aggressive welcome packages consisting of a combined first deposit bonus, free spins, and a small starting balance that is activated after complete KYC verification.<\/p>\n Anyone specifically looking for a no-deposit starting balance should check the current promotional pages of the new providers\u2014not the marketing banners, but the underlying bonus terms and conditions. Often, it turns out that "\u20ac5 starting balance without deposit" is the realistic figure, combined with a 30x wagering requirement and a maximum cashout of \u20ac50. This is far from the previously common \u20ac20 offers, but it is real and legally sound.<\/p>\n Providers promising significantly higher no-deposit bonuses\u201425, 50, or even 100 euros\u2014almost always operate outside the GGL framework. The simple rule: If the bonus looks considerably more attractive than those offered by established brands, there's a high probability that the provider doesn't hold a German license.<\/p>\n New online casinos every month: Why the temporal categorization is of little use.<\/h2>\nThe search landscape is dominated by queries for new casinos for specific months \u2014 \u201enew online casinos October 2025\u201c, \u201enew online casinos May 2026\u201c, and so on. These search patterns stem from the assumption that providers enter the market on a monthly basis. The reality is more sluggish.<\/p>\n New registrations under the GGL framework are irregular. In some months, two or three new permit holders are added, while in other months nothing happens. The monthly average is around one to two new entries across the entire whitelist. The numbers are particularly low in the slot segment\u2014here, several months often pass between new registrations.<\/p>\n Comparison portals that maintain monthly "New Casinos" lists often use a broad definition. They consider anything that is newly introduced, re-evaluated, or launched with a new promotion within a given month as "new." This makes sense from a marketing perspective, but it's not very informative. A provider that has been on the whitelist for a year and launches a new bonus promotion this month isn't really "new.".<\/p>\n Anyone wanting to track relevant new additions on a monthly basis should monitor the GGL whitelist directly. The authority doesn't proactively report changes, but comparing the current list with an archived version from the previous month reveals which providers have been added. For most users, this effort is disproportionate\u2014the actual new additions rarely change the game, and the established providers offer a broader selection of slots.<\/p>\n Why the advertising landscape is still full of "new" offers<\/h2>\nAnyone studying search results for new online casinos will encounter hundreds of comparison portals, review sites, and bonus lists. The quality of these portals varies enormously. Some are reputable editorial sites with a clear separation between advertising and recommendations. Others are SEO farms that recommend any provider that pays an affiliate commission\u2014regardless of licensing status.<\/p>\n Specifically: If a comparison portal recommends a provider with a clear Cura\u00e7ao license for German users, it's either a journalistically sloppy recommendation or a deliberate one. Both should raise red flags. A reputable comparison portal explicitly points out the licensing status and clearly distinguishes between providers for the legal German market and international offerings. Those that fail to make this distinction are of little use as a source of information.<\/p>\n A reality check on language use: In this industry, the term "new" says more about marketing strategy than actual innovation. A casino that has existed for a year but was newly licensed last month is technically "new" in the German context. A portal that has been active in the international market for five years and has now launched a German brand can also call itself "new." This usage isn't wrong, but it's more precise than it sounds.<\/p>\n Frequently asked questions about new online casinos<\/h2>\n |
