A long-established sportsbook serving Germany, Austria and Denmark, now also known as Merkur Bets in Austria
Visit Cashpoint →Cashpoint welcome bonus in Germany
Context for Germany: Germany applies a monthly deposit limit of EUR 1,000 per player ACROSS ALL licensed operators, enforced centrally through the LUGAS monitoring system by the joint state authority (GGL), alongside OASIS self-exclusion and a EUR 1 maximum stake per slot spin. That cross-operator cap matters when reading any bonus here: an offer larger than what you may lawfully deposit in a month cannot be claimed in full.
Here is the current Cashpoint welcome offer for players in Germany. Bonus terms change and are set by Cashpoint for each market — always confirm the live offer on its own site. See every licensed betting site in Germany →
Pros
- Named operator (Merkur Group) with a long, well-documented multi-market operating history, confirmed by two sources
- Genuine Danish licence for the Denmark operation
- Clear, locally-tailored offers in all three markets
Cons
- Danish Gambling Authority reprimand (March 2023) for AML customer-ID breaches at land-based venues, since remediated
- German and Austrian licensing not itemised as specifically as the Danish licence
- Brand transition to Merkur Bets in Austria may cause some confusion
Our verdict
Cashpoint is a subsidiary of Merkur Group (formerly Gauselmann Group, since 2005), serving Germany, Austria and Denmark, now also operating under the Merkur Bets name in Austria, confirmed by the group's own official site. German customers get a 100% first-deposit sports bonus up to €100 (minimum deposit €10, minimum odds 1.50, wagering roughly 3-10x within 30 days, sports betting only). Austrian customers get an insured first bet up to €100 (refunded as a freebet if the first bet at odds 1.50+ loses, no code needed). Danish customers get a freebet up to 500 kr under a genuine Danish licence, with a fast 1x wagering requirement. Note: the Danish Gambling Authority reprimanded Cashpoint in March 2023 for Anti-Money Laundering Act breaches at land-based venues, since remediated -- disclosed here rather than omitted.
