Tipico

Tipico is a German sports betting brand with an online sportsbook and a network of betting shops. It was among the first operators to receive a German sports betting permit when the national market opened in October 2020.

Who Runs Tipico?

Tipico Co. Limited, based at Tipico Tower in St Julian's, Malta, holds the German sports betting permit for tipico.de. A sister company, Tipico Games Limited, holds the separate permit for virtual slot games on games.tipico.de. The Tipico app is published by Tipico B2B Ltd.

Is Tipico Licensed?

Yes. The GGL, Germany's joint gambling authority, lists Tipico Co. Limited on its whitelist for sports betting on tipico.de, online and in shops. The permit was first granted on 9 October 2020 and renewed on 9 December 2022.

What Can You Bet on at Tipico?

Football is at the heart of Tipico's offer, with wide coverage of the Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga, including live bets and long-term markets on the title race, promotion and relegation. The app covers many other sports with live scores and results. Cash out lets you settle a bet early.

In Germany, Tipico covers the 5% betting tax on winnings for its customers, so you keep the full return on a winning bet.

Is There a Tipico App?

Yes. The Tipico Sportwetten App has been on the German App Store since 2015 and has a strong rating from more than 400,000 users. It includes personalised betting menus, live scores and push notifications.

How Do German Rules Protect Players?

Every sportsbook on the GGL whitelist must check players against OASIS, Germany's national self-exclusion register, and apply the cross-operator deposit limit of €1,000 a month unless a higher limit has been approved. You must be 18 or older. Free, confidential help is available from the BZgA hotline on 0800 1372700.
