The German-based sports betting and online gambling operator Tipico has been welcomed into the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA), as it becomes its newest member.
The EGBA group is a Brussels-based trade association which aims to represent online gambling operators who are established, licensed, and regulated within the EU. It then collaborates with national and EU authorities and other stakeholders to try and create a well-regulated online gambling market.
This new addition to the association is said to ‘significantly strengthen’ the group’s representation in Germany and across German-speaking markets.
Going forward, Tipico will start to contribute to EGBA’s working groups and to the association’s initiatives, including those focused on responsible advertising, anti-money laundering, and safer gambling.

Speaking on why the gambling operator values the membership, its director of public policy Jochen Weiner says: “As a company committed to player protection and regulatory excellence, we look forward to contributing our expertise to EGBA’s important work.
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to promoting high industry standards and our fight against the black market for online gambling in Europe.”
This announcement comes just shortly after the European Gaming and Betting Association released its ‘record-breaking results’ from its fifth annual European Safer Gambling Week which was held in mid-November.

The most recent edition saw 221 partners actively participate which marks a 14% increase from 2024. Seven regulatory authorities also participated by either joining the social media campaign or speaking at events.
Commenting on its new member and latest news, the secretary general of EGBA Maarten Haijer says: “We’re delighted to welcome Tipico to EGBA and to start 2026 with such a strong addition to our membership.
“As Germany’s leading online gambling operator with a strong track record, Tipico brings valuable expertise to our association and will reinforce our collective efforts to promote a well-regulated and sustainable gambling sector in Europe.
