Reports about an alleged “secret agreement” between betting providers and German federal states have caused controversy. Tipico denies these claims, stating that the agreement was a public judicial settlement.

• The so-called secret agreement is a court settlement made at the Darmstadt Administrative Court. Its contents were publicly disclosed in June 2024 in the evaluation report on the State Treaty on Gambling.

• A TV report claims that a student increased their deposit limit to €10,000 within seconds. Tipico denies this, asserting that all requests undergo standard review.

• ARD Monitor reportedly submitted an inquiry about this case but did not provide further details after Tipico’s initial response. Tipico requested additional information for investigation but received no reply.

• The deposit limit increase follows regulatory requirements, including multiple verification methods. The Schufa-G inquiry is one of the processes used for financial assessment. The Joint Gambling Authority of the Federal States (GGL) has published detailed information about the Schufa-G inquiry.
