Germany’s iGaming Boom Stalls as Q3 Growth Grinds to a Halt

Germany’s betting and iGaming industries saw a combined turnover of €9.96 billion in the first nine months of 2025. However, recent figures show no growth during the third quarter of the year. Official reports did not specify which companies or sectors contributed most to this revenue.

The €9.96 billion turnover reflects activity across Germany’s betting and online gaming markets between January and September 2025. Despite strong early performance, the third quarter brought a halt in expansion.

Regulatory discussions and player protection measures have dominated industry news in recent months. Yet, no official breakdown has been provided on how the €9.96 billion was distributed among operators or sectors.

The lack of growth in the third quarter marks a shift from earlier trends. While the total turnover remains significant, further details on revenue sources and market performance are still unclear. Industry observers continue to monitor developments as the year progresses.
