Important Information About the Central Database



As a licenced provider, we are obliged, like all other licenced providers in Germany, to connect our services to the Interstate Gambling Evaluation System (LUGAS). This requires a one-time automated registration and setting of a monthly deposit limit of up to €1,000 in the central database LUGAS. Under certain circumstances and taking your economic situation into account, a cross-provider limit of up to €30,000 is possible.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions can be found below.

What is LUGAS?
LUGAS is an acronym for Länderübergreifendes Glücksspielaufsichtssystem (Interstate Gambling Evaluation System). Legal regulations (State Treaty on Gambling 2021, §6c para. 4) state that all licenced providers must connect to this database.

What data is transferred?
In accordance with the legal requirements, your first and last name, your date of birth, and a deposit limit of your choice that is valid across providers are transmitted to the LUGAS database and stored pseudonymously.

What does that have to do with me?
According to the provisions of § 6 c GlüStV 2021, participation in a game is only possible if your data is stored in the central database.

What is the limit about?
In order to successfully transfer your data to LUGAS, you must set a deposit limit for all providers. You are free to choose your own limit up to a maximum of €30,000. For a limit over €1,000, we are legally obligated to check your financial standing, and we offer you a variety of ways of completing this process simply. Please make sure when setting your limit that you are prepared to invest that amount in sports betting. Betting should be about the enjoyment and thrill you get from it. interwetten takes responsible gaming very seriously.

What is a cross-provider deposit limit?
All licenced providers in Germany are obliged to connect to the central database LUGAS and report to it every deposit made. The cross-provider deposit limit you set is therefore valid for all providers. Therefore, if you have reached your monthly deposit limit of €5,000 on interwetten, you cannot deposit into accounts of any other providers. You do, however, have the opportunity to increase your cross-provider deposit limit or set a higher deposit limit when initially registering.

What else should I know?
According to § 6 h GlüStV 2021, simultaneous gambling/betting with several providers is not permitted. Therefore, if you want to use our offer, please make sure that you are not logged in with any other provider. Please note that you can only use our offer after a legal waiting period of five minutes after you have logged out from another provider.
