FAQ
Do you have to pay taxes on sports betting in Germany?
Yes. Since July 2021 a betting tax of 5,3 per cent on the stake (not just on winnings) has been levied on sports betting in Germany. The bookmaker typically deducts this tax before the bet is placed. Winnings from sports betting are generally not taxable for private bettors, unless one bets professionally – which is rare and difficult to prove.
