On 23 June 2021, the Google Ads Gambling and games policy country-specifics will be updated. We will change the country-specifics for Germany to reflect the transition to the new State Treaty on Games of Chance (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag) entering into effect on 1 July 2021 alongside some further changes in our existing policy language. As part of these updates, from 1 July 2021, we will begin to accept ads for virtual slot-machine games, online casinos and online poker in Germany.
Customers must apply for certification. The Gambling and games policy page will be updated when the policy goes into effect.
