Markets · Germany
Germany turned player protection into infrastructure. A central blocking file, compulsory connection, a query before access to play — the obligations are unusually concrete, and so is the integration against them.
The regime
The joint authority supervising licensed gambling under the 2021 State Treaty.
The central blocking file operated by the Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt. Connection is compulsory for licensed operators and the check precedes access to play.
Configured per market in your policy and versioned with it.
Chosen once per operator. Data does not leave the chosen region.

Exclusion
OASIS holds both self-imposed exclusions and bans entered by third parties, and the match runs before the player reaches the product rather than alongside it.
Identity
The national identity card is the document most German registrations present, and the routing prefers the sources that read its series best rather than treating all documents alike.
Limits
The German regime also runs central deposit-limit machinery that sits outside identity verification. We check the exclusion file and return the identity; the limit file is a separate obligation and we say so rather than implying coverage we do not have.
Integration
No. The value of a pre-access query is that it reflects the file at that moment; a cached answer from this morning is an answer about this morning. Each required check is a live query, and the timestamp recorded is the query's.
The check does not return pass. An exclusion query that could not be answered is reported as such, and your policy decides whether that holds the registration or routes it to review — which is a decision with licence consequences and therefore yours, not a default we pick for you.
