Gambling Permit

A permit or notification is required for organizing lotteries and gambling, depending on the nature and scale of the game. For lotteries with prize money up to € 4,500, a lottery permit must be requested from the municipality. For smaller gambling games, a notification is sufficient.

The permit is intended to ensure that gambling is organized responsibly and that proceeds are used lawfully. The regulations apply at both municipal and national levels, depending on the scale of the event. Organizers must submit the application to the competent authority before the gambling takes place.
