The email sent to gambling industry affiliates who are promoting Betfair reads as follows:
Unfortunately we will be closing Betfair Germany from the 30th June 2021.
We will block registrations from 29th June 2021
No betting allowed as of 3pm GMT on Wednesday, 30th June 2021
Betfair website will still be available for German customers only to withdraw their fundsKind Regards,
Betfair Int Partners
No reason has been given for the decision to block registrations from Germany although the news comes just before the new licensing application procedures for online gambling are set to begin on July 1st.
Seems like as from today, German users from Betfair will need to find new “Deutsche Wettanbieter” to bet on their favourite sports events.
