Germany

Germany currently has a restricted Charity Lottery sector that nevertheless raises c. €300m for Charities annually. A less restricted approach to Charity Lotteries could double this figure to c. €639bn, while a liberal approach could raise €2bn for the Common Good: a transformative sum for Germany's Third Sector.
