    Question Using .com domains in Germany

    Hello,

    What is the biggest reason why some affiliates create their websites with a .com domain instead of a .de domain?

    Is this because of regulations in germany? or because they want to target more german speaking countries and not only DE? or both?

    I think using a .de would be easier to rank in germany than a .com.

    And what are the risk of using a .de domain and list unlicensed brands?

    Let me know your experience and thoughts on this, i'm very curious

    Cheers!

    There seems to be some ranking advantage with a .de domain. However, you are allowed to list only gaming providers that have a valid German Gambling license. There are licenses now for Sportsbetting, Slots and Lotteries.

    German Domain also has different privacy and transparency requirements than a .com domain
