The framework is in the law; this text explains it and replaces no advice.

Who is Lukas Brandt?
An author on this site. He writes about crypto payments, the German tax framework and provably fair verification.
Is he a tax adviser?
No. His articles describe the legal framework and name the provisions behind it; they are not individual advice and do not replace a tax adviser.
Does he work for the operator?
No. This site reviews the operator from the outside and has no access to its internal data.
Can his tax articles be relied on for a tax return?
They explain which rules apply and where they come from. For a binding assessment, especially on larger sums, consult a tax adviser.
What does a provably fair check prove?
That a round’s result was fixed before the bet and not altered afterwards. It does not say the game is favourable to the player.
