LeoVegas operates under separate licenses and terms in different countries (for example the UK and Malta-regulated markets are governed by different rules than Germany’s). Every figure below is specific to leovegas.de and the German license; do not assume it applies elsewhere.

Quick Verdict
LeoVegas is an established, mobile-first casino brand founded in 2011, now wholly owned by MGM Resorts International, operating in Germany under LVSports Limited with two licenses issued by Germany’s GGL — both confirmed directly on the regulator’s own public whitelist. Its German offering plugs into the country’s mandatory cross-operator player-protection systems (LUGAS deposit/loss/betting limits, OASIS self-exclusion), which is a meaningful regulatory trust indicator for a heavily regulated market. The bonus terms and withdrawal process are clearly published on LeoVegas’s own site and are usable, if unremarkable, by industry standards. The main gap in this review is the game library: LeoVegas’s own games/live-casino pages could not be reached directly, and independently reported game counts conflict with each other, so no specific game count is stated as fact. This review is best suited for German players who want a regulated, mobile-first casino with real deposit/loss limit controls; it is less useful for players trying to compare exact game-library breadth against competitors, since that could not be independently confirmed here.
Verification status: Substantially verified. Licensing is confirmed directly against Germany’s official regulator register. Bonus terms, withdrawal process, KYC requirements, and responsible-gambling tools are confirmed directly against LeoVegas’s own current published pages. Game library breadth and live-chat/phone support could not be independently confirmed and are explicitly flagged below.
CasinoRadar Score
CasinoRadar Rating: 7.5/10
Evidence coverage: 6 of 8 scoring categories
Testing: ⚪ Research-based — no account, deposit, or withdrawal testing performed
Games and Mobile Experience were excluded from the score because available evidence was insufficient — not scored as low, simply not counted. The score uses only the six categories with sufficient evidence; their weights (Licensing & Trust 20%, Payments & Withdrawals 15%, Bonus Value 15%, Responsible Gambling 10%, Customer Support 10%, Transparency 10% — summing to 80%) are renormalized proportionally so they total the calculated score. Worked calculation: (9×20 + 6.5×15 + 6.5×15 + 8.5×10 + 6×10 + 8×10) ÷ 80 = 600 ÷ 80 = 7.5. See our full scoring methodology for the general rule.
| Category | Weight | Score | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Trust | 20% | 9/10 | Verified directly against Germany’s GGL whitelist: LVSports Limited holds a virtual slot machines license (208.1.1-12254-2021/48, granted 27.02.2023) and a sports betting license (21.14-122588-2023/28, granted 21.10.2024). No enforcement history search was performed for this review. |
| Payments & Withdrawals | 15% | 6.5/10 | Operator’s own T&Cs confirm EUR-only, no anonymous prepaid methods, full-balance withdrawals, and a 24-hour processing target once verified. General minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal amounts (outside the bonus tiers) could not be found on the pages fetched. |
| Games | 15% | Not enough verified information | LeoVegas’s own games/live-casino pages returned 404 errors when fetched directly. Independent sources report different, conflicting total game counts. Provider names are reasonably consistent across sources but are operator-stated/independently-reported, not confirmed against LeoVegas’s own game lobby. |
| Bonus Value | 15% | 6.5/10 | Verified directly against LeoVegas’s own bonus terms page: tiered welcome offer, wagering requirement of roughly 20x the bonus amount as turnover, real-money bets only count, slot wagers count fully. Standard industry terms, not exceptional. No stated maximum-bet restriction was found. |
| Responsible Gambling | 10% | 8.5/10 | Verified directly against LeoVegas’s own site: LUGAS-based deposit/loss/betting limits, automatic payout thresholds, OASIS-linked self-exclusion, five-minute break notifications, and play-time/win-loss tracking — consistent with Germany’s mandatory player-protection framework (GlüStV 2021). |
| Customer Support | 10% | 6/10 | Email and support hours confirmed directly on LeoVegas’s own support page. 24/7 live chat is widely reported by independent sources but could not be confirmed on the official page’s fetched text. Phone support could not be reliably confirmed. |
| Transparency | 10% | 8/10 | License numbers, license-holder entity, and registered address are stated plainly on LeoVegas’s own site rather than requiring a search — a meaningful transparency indicator, not a promotional claim. |
| Mobile Experience | 5% | Not enough verified information | No hands-on testing was performed, and this review could not independently confirm current German app-store listings or mobile-site details specific to leovegas.de. |

Is LeoVegas Legitimate?
Verified: LeoVegas’s German operation is licensed. Checking directly against the GGL’s official whitelist — Germany’s official register of permitted gambling operators — confirms LVSports Limited holds both a virtual slot machines permit and a sports betting permit, with the license numbers and grant dates listed above. This was checked against the regulator’s own register, not LeoVegas’s marketing claims.
Verified (corporate history): LeoVegas AB was founded in Sweden in 2011–2012, went public on Nasdaq Stockholm in 2016, and was acquired by MGM Resorts International in September 2022 for approximately $604–607 million — corroborated by MGM Resorts’ own press releases and multiple independent industry-press sources.
Licensing & Regulation
LeoVegas’s German casino product operates under LVSports Limited, a Malta-registered company, holding two permits from the GGL: one for virtual slot machines (granted February 2023) and one for sports betting (granted October 2024). Germany’s current gambling framework (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag 2021) requires licensed operators to participate in nationwide, cross-operator player-protection infrastructure — this is not optional or brand-specific, and LeoVegas’s own site confirms participation in both systems relevant to this review (LUGAS for limits, OASIS for self-exclusion).
This license and this framework apply specifically to the German market. LeoVegas Group operates other casino products under different licenses (for example in the UK and under its original Malta Gaming Authority license) with different terms, bonus structures, and possibly different game libraries — nothing in this review should be assumed to apply to those other markets.
Responsible Gambling
Verified directly against LeoVegas’s own site:
- LUGAS-based limits — deposit, loss, and betting limits, set through Germany’s centralized cross-operator limit system rather than a LeoVegas-only tool.
- Automatic payout thresholds — payouts triggered automatically at specified win levels.
- Self-exclusion — from 24 hours to 1 year, linked to OASIS, Germany’s centralized self-exclusion system.
- Break notifications — mandatory five-minute break prompts.
- Play-time and win/loss tracking, plus specialized support for gambling concerns.
External resources referenced on LeoVegas’s own site: LeoSafePlay (leosafeplay.com/de) and buwei.de. Because these tools are largely mandated by German regulation rather than being LeoVegas-specific innovations, this category reflects LeoVegas’s compliance with a strong regulatory baseline rather than an exceptional voluntary standard.
Bonuses
Current welcome offer (verified directly against LeoVegas’s own bonus terms page, checked 2026-08-13):
- Tiered by deposit amount: a deposit of €10–€29.99 yields a €10 cash bonus plus 10 free spins (Book of Dead); depositing €100 or more yields a €100 cash bonus plus 100 free spins, with tiers in between.
- Wagering requirement: roughly 20x the bonus amount in real-money turnover, before the cash bonus becomes withdrawable.
- Only real-money bets count toward wagering; bets placed with bonus/virtual funds and cancelled bets are excluded. Slot wagers count 100% toward the requirement.
- Free spins apply specifically to Book of Dead.
- Time limits: 7 days after registration to make the qualifying deposit, 14 days from deposit to complete the wagering requirement, 72 hours to claim free spins, 7 days to redeem the cleared bonus.
- No maximum-bet-while-wagering restriction was stated in the terms as fetched — treat as an open question rather than assuming no limit exists.
Assessment: roughly 20x wagering on a real-money-only basis is a middle-of-the-road structure — better than the heaviest bonuses in the market (40x+), not as favorable as no-wagering offers seen elsewhere. The short 14-day wagering window is worth flagging to readers. Bonus terms can change; verify the current terms on LeoVegas’s own site before opting in.
Games
CasinoRadar could not directly access LeoVegas’s own games or live-casino listing pages (both returned 404 errors during this research). Independent sources consistently name Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Microgaming as providers, with Push Gaming and Hacksaw Gaming also mentioned for higher-volatility titles — LeoVegas Group’s acquisition of a majority stake in Push Gaming in 2023 is separately corroborated by MGM/LeoVegas’s own press materials. However, independent sources disagree sharply on total game count, which is itself a reason not to publish a specific number as fact. This is a genuine gap in this review — treat exact game-library breadth as unconfirmed until CasinoRadar can access LeoVegas’s own game lobby directly.
Payment Methods
Deposits
LeoVegas’s own terms confirm deposits and the account balance are handled exclusively in EUR, and that anonymous payment methods (prepaid cards not linked to the account holder’s name) are not accepted. A specific list of accepted deposit methods was not found on the pages reviewed — not independently verified.
Withdrawals
LeoVegas’s own terms state that verified customers can withdraw any amount up to their account balance (no fixed minimum/maximum was found), and that LeoVegas aims to process withdrawal requests within 24 hours once identity verification is complete — with the explicit caveat that delays can occur during high withdrawal volume or when additional anti-money-laundering checks are legally required. This 24-hour figure is a stated target from the operator’s own terms, not a guarantee.
KYC & Withdrawal Process
Verified directly against LeoVegas’s own terms: account verification requires full name including birth name, date and place of birth, postal address, valid email and phone number, nationality, and payment information, plus (typically) a copy of a government photo ID. LeoVegas states it uses an independent verification service or third parties to check this data, and may repeat verification annually or when account details change. Withdrawals are contingent on this verification being complete, consistent with standard German AML requirements for licensed operators.
Mobile Experience
CasinoRadar has not conducted hands-on testing of LeoVegas’s mobile site or app for the German market, and could not independently confirm current app-store listings or mobile-specific features for leovegas.de during this research. LeoVegas has historically marketed itself as a mobile-first brand since its 2011–2012 founding, but that history is not a substitute for a current, market-specific check — so no mobile usability claim is made here.
Customer Support
Verified directly against LeoVegas’s own German support page: support is reachable by email at kundenservice@leovegas.de, with stated hours of 08:00–00:00. Multiple independent sources report a 24/7 live-chat option staffed by German-speaking agents, but this review could not confirm live chat directly from the official page’s fetched text — it is possible the chat widget is loaded via JavaScript in a way this research method didn’t capture, so this is reported as operator-claim-adjacent, not verified, rather than asserted as fact either way. A phone number could not be reliably confirmed; several search results claiming to offer LeoVegas contact details were on domains that are not leovegas.de or leovegas.com and were excluded from this review as unreliable.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- German GGL license confirmed directly on the regulator’s own official whitelist, with clear license numbers and grant dates.
- Full participation in Germany’s mandatory player-protection infrastructure (LUGAS limits, OASIS self-exclusion), not just LeoVegas-specific promises.
- License-holder entity, license numbers, and registered address are disclosed plainly on LeoVegas’s own site.
- Withdrawal terms (24-hour target, full balance withdrawable) are clearly published, not buried.
- Long operating history (since 2011–2012) and backing from a major public parent company (MGM Resorts International since 2022).
Cons
- Game library breadth could not be independently confirmed — LeoVegas’s own games pages were unreachable during this research, and independent sources conflict on total game count.
- Live chat and phone support could not be confirmed directly, despite being widely claimed elsewhere.
- Welcome bonus wagering requirement (~20x) and 14-day completion window are middle-of-the-road, not exceptional, by current market standards.
- No hands-on testing performed by CasinoRadar — mobile experience and the actual account/deposit/withdrawal flow are unverified in practice.
Who Is LeoVegas For?
German players who prioritize a regulated operator with real, system-wide deposit and loss limits (via LUGAS) and a clearly disclosed license, and who are comfortable with a standard (not exceptional) bonus structure.
Who Should Avoid LeoVegas?
Players who want to compare exact game-library size against competitors before choosing — that figure could not be confirmed for this review. Players outside Germany, since this review’s figures are specific to the German-licensed product. Players who specifically want confirmed 24/7 live-chat support before signing up, since that could not be independently verified here.
Final Verdict
LeoVegas’s German license is directly and clearly verified against the regulator’s own official register. Bonus terms, withdrawal process, and responsible-gambling tooling are all confirmed against LeoVegas’s own current published pages, not marketing summaries. The genuine gap in this review is the game library and mobile experience, both of which return “Not enough verified information” rather than a guessed figure. CasinoRadar would include LeoVegas in a “licensed German operators” comparison list on the strength of its confirmed licensing and player-protection integration, while flagging the unresolved game-library and mobile gaps for a follow-up check.
