Klaus Weber, DACH Market Editor
Klaus Weber writes every German-language review and guide on landing.space from Berlin, for readers in Germany and in Austria. His ten years on the German-speaking market run from the patchwork of the old state treaties to the licensing regime of the GlüStV 2021. On the site he explains where the lines fall in practice: what LUGAS limits and an OASIS entry actually stop, what the €1 stake cap means at the machine, and why Austrian rules read so differently from German ones.
Author Credentials
A decade in the German-language gambling trade press means he has followed GGL licensing decisions, LUGAS enforcement and the yearly channelisation debate at close range. He knows the GlücksSpielStaatsVertrag 2021, the Austrian Glücksspielgesetz and the case law both keep producing, and he reads each GGL enforcement notice, for Germany and for Austria, as it comes out.
How I Write
Readers in Germany and Austria get the answer at the top, in German. Specific points from the GlüStV, the Glücksspielgesetz or a GGL decision come with the source. A review of a casino without a German licence begins with what is lost there: no LUGAS limits, no OASIS block and no German consumer forum.
