Germany is one of the most powerful countries in the world: it's the most populous country in the European Union with over 80M inhabitants, and German is considered a world language. We all know German car brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, or Porsche. Besides having a global city with its capital, Berlin, Germany is also home to some of the world's largest celebrations like the Oktoberfest, which takes place in Munich.

1. Best Poker Rooms In The World Game

1. When thinking of the best players in the world, many poker fans think of those that are given the most exposure. These days, that’s in the form of televised tournaments thus big tournament winners like Gus Hansen, Michael Mizrachi, and Antonio Esfandiari at the heart of WSOP airings receive a lot of attention.
2. The first of these was held in London in 2007 - the first time a World Series of Poker event was held outside of Las Vegas. The buy-in for this was £10,000 and won by Norwegian Annette Obrestrad.
3. Best Dutch poker players. In total, Dutch players have won over $160M in the live poker circuit, ranking 13th in the HendonMob list. Marcel Luske — the only Dutch player that broke the $5M mark —, Jorryt van Hoof, and Pieter de Korver completes the TOP-3; the Netherland's players have six WSOP gold bracelets.

Best German poker players

Germany is a superpower in poker. It currently ranks 5th in terms of profits in live poker with almost $500M won by German players, who have also won 40 WSOP gold bracelets.

Fedor Holz ($32M in profits, EPT, WPT, WSOP, and Triton Poker champion), Christoph Vogelsang ($22M in profits, Super High Roller Bowl champion), Rainer Kempe ($20M in profits, EPT and WPT champion) and Ole Schemion ($16M in profits, EPT and WPT champion) are the most profitable German poker players in the live circuit.

With over $233M in profits in online poker, German players are always present at major events and high stakes tables. In addition to the players already mentioned, 'nilsef,' Dominik 'Bounatirou' Nitsche, and Giuseppe 'Ansgar2000' Pantaleo are among the best online poker players in Germany.

German legal poker background

Although we can consider Germany as a superpower in poker, the country isn't precisely gambling-friendly; the good news is that the German online poker laws (The Interstate Treaty prohibited online poker in 2012) are the typical example of a not enforced regulation.

Therefore, German poker players are welcome in almost all online poker rooms. In short, it's illegal to host online poker games in Germany, but it's not prosecuted or forbidden to join international poker rooms.

As a result, German poker players can join to join virtually any online poker room, and payment processors such as Skrill or Neteller operate smoothly in the country.

Mar 30, 2019 But there's more to it when deciding what makes for the best poker rooms in the world right now. It's the service, the games on offer, the rake charged, and in some cases even the parking.

It is worth mentioning that German poker players must declare their gaming profits if these are their primary source of income.
