About Jonas Winter
Jonas Winter writes on this site about German gambling law: what the Interstate Treaty on Gambling requires, what the joint authority of the federal states publishes about it, and what of that actually reaches a player’s account.
His standard is narrow and checkable: name the authority behind every rule so the reader can look it up — a €1 maximum stake on slots, five seconds between spins, a €1,000 monthly deposit limit, the panic button, LUGAS and the OASIS exclusion register.
What he does not provide belongs in the profile too: no legal advice, no assessment of individual cases and no prediction of how a court will rule.
A recurring point is the difference between an operator’s licence and a permit for the German market: only the GGL whitelist names operators holding a German permit, and an offshore licence is not a substitute.
He writes for this site independently and is not employed by any operator. This site is an affiliate publisher and says so openly.
His pieces are revised when the rules they describe change — not on a fixed schedule.
Background & Credentials
- Works from published statutes and decisions, not from industry talk
- Names the authority behind every rule he cites
- No access to operator internals — and no claim that would need it
A rule helps nobody if you cannot find where it is written.
