Best German Betting Sites

Bet365 is such a betting giant that almost everyone knows about it at this point.

What I like about bet365 is the number of sports and depth of betting options they offer. I also particularly enjoy the Early Payout and the Boosted odds bonuses they added recently.

It is hard to beat them when it comes to betting options and their payouts are very high, sitting at 95%.

NEO.bet won my heart from day 1 with its modern look and feel, extensive selection on football and basketball and its nice welcome bonus.

You can choose to play with either the beginner or the advanced bonus, depending on how confident you feel in your choices, which is a nice consideration from the bookie.

If you like betting on multiple selections at once, then NEO.bet also doesn't charge you the wagering tax, which is nice, but doesn't apply to single punts.

Winamax has some unique bonus 'challenges' for football and basketball, where you need to guess the goal scorer in the next match to continue in the competition and the last people left in the competition win prizes such as €2000 in Free Bets.

Our experts liked using the bookie's sportsbook and noticed there are a ton of markets for major football leagues.

In addition, they shared Winamax has a good selection of sports to choose from, so it can certainly be a one-stop shop for many bettors.

Betano is amongst the bookmakers with the highest number of existing customer bonuses, special promotions or odds boosts on different sports.

In addition, they boast a pretty good mobile site and their mobile app has some of the highest ratings for a bookie on the Apple Store and on the Google Play Store.

With comparatively low wagering odds, it has one of the better welcome bonuses in Germany.

• Cashout: Yes
• Betting app: Yes

Interwetten is huge in Germany, and for a good reason. They provide a great betting experience and has a nice welcome bonus to get you started, no matter whether you are a beginner or a pro.

A plus in my book is that they have a good betting app, which also rewards players a cashback bonus for using it for the first time.

• Cashout: Yes

Bet3000 might not be the first bookie that comes to mind when you think about betting, but for me it is - because of their crazy high number of betting markets for most sports, especially football.

The bookie is great for livestreaming, especially for tennis.

• Cashout: Yes
• Betting app: Yes
• Bet Builder: Yes
• Livestreaming: No
• Betting tax: No

Bet3000 boasts a fantastic app altogether and combined with the fact that there is no betting tax, is it easily our number 1 pick for the app category.

Once logged in, the navigation around the different menus is super intuitive and clear, and you will find matches quickly and easily.

Betano is 2nd on our list of top betting apps. With a quick app and great navigation, you can't go wrong if you choose to bet with them.

Betano offers great odds and the app also gives you access to their casino games, which can easily be found because of the good menu navigation system.

NEO.bet claims the 3rd spot on our app ranking list. The bookmaker has a nice mobile application, with a good layout, but some might find they prefer bet365's layout more.

It's up to you to see which one is easier to use. To help you decide, make sure you read our individual bookmaker reviews, which include a breakdown of each app and its features.

Winamax sits comfortably in 4th place.

It could go higher in the ratings, but for this the app navigation would have to be better.

Also the app isn't in English, which is a bit of a shame, as so many people live in Germany and speak many international languages.

When you log into the app, do not be surprised to see heavily featured tennis matches, but of course you can easily find the other sports sections from the "Sportarten" (Sport types) section.

I only find it suitable to place the app in fourth place for now, until changes have been implemented.

It is still a good app overall, so don't shy away from it!

Bet365's app is 5th on this list. Bet365 is an industry leader and it is expected that they offer a good app.

We placed it fifth, because there are other better options out there, and the clunky and confusing navigation doesn't help its case.

You will still get all the functionality of the desktop site on the app, but whether the site is good is a different topic. Check out our Bet365 review and read more of our thoughts on it.

The process should be a very straightforward one given a large majority of foreign-based companies are already attracting high numbers of players from Germany. However, there might be slight differences depending on the betting site.

If you’re unsure, this is a standard 4-point guide to setting up an account:

• Enter your personal information - name, country, and date of birth are normal
• Create a username and password
• Fill out your email and other contact information
• Deposit funds through one of the available methods

Before making a deposit, you must verify your identity with most bookmakers.

The bookmaker will normally ask you to send copies of your ID, some bills which show your address and a bank statement which verifies your income. The process normally takes 24 to 48 hours.

These documents are sent to customer support or uploaded directly to your profile. Once you are verified, the money can be deposited and respectively withdrawn.

Before making a deposit you might be asked to verify both your phone number and your address.

In Germany, the most common payment method for betting sites is PayPal, followed by Trustly, Neteller, Skrill, paysafecard and debit cards (VISA/Mastercard)

• Choose your preferred deposit method
• Deposit the minimum amount required (usually €5 to €10)

Most deposits are instant, apart from bank transfers (1-3 days). Usually, bookmakers don’t charge fees, but we mention it in our reviews if they do, so check them out!

A maximum of €1000 per month can be deposited across all German betting sites, according to local legislation. Some operators have been granted “extended deposit limits” and allow deposits up to €10000 per month.

There is also a 5% tax applied to all your stakes when placing your bets. Some bookmakers will cover this tax for their players and advertise it as “betting tax-free” on their website.

This makes choosing the right bookmaker even more important, as most likely you will have all your money in one place.

There are different types of bets. Here are a few common things people like to bet on:

• Single bet - one bet on the outcome of the match, such as who will win, which player will score first, or the exact score of the match
• Combined or also known as ACCA (accumulator) bet - usually 3 or more bets placed together, with the benefit of offering a higher payout than just placing the individual bets one after the other. The caveat is that if one of these “combined” bets loses, then all others are forfeited as well. For example, if you place a 3-part combi bet that England will score, and Spain will lose and Germany will win a match, if one doesn’t happen, you will lose your entire stake.

Making a withdrawal can be both a smooth experience and an easy one.

If you signed up for a deposit bonus, you most likely have to complete the turnover requirements before you can withdraw your winnings.

In almost all cases, you must make a withdrawal with the same method as you made your deposit. There is also a minimum withdrawal amount that is between €10-20.

In some instances, but rarely, fees are added to the withdrawal.
