Who we are
rheinlandpuls.com (“RheinlandPuls”, “we”, “us”) is an independent editorial guide to casino hotels in Germany: state-licensed casinos (Spielbanken) and the hotels near them. We are a publication. We are not a casino operator, hotel, booking agent or travel agency, and we do not take reservations, sell tickets or handle payments of any kind.
Questions about these terms can be sent through our contact page. The operator’s details are in the Impressum.
Accepting these terms
By opening any page of this website you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, please close the site. We may update the terms from time to time, and the date at the top of this page shows when the current version took effect.
Age requirement
This website describes venues that offer gambling and is intended for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to use it. The admission age at a casino itself is set by the law of the federal state where it stands and by the venue’s house rules, and in several states it is 21. Check the venue’s own entry conditions before you travel.
Gambling can be addictive. If play has stopped being entertainment for you or someone close to you, free and confidential help is available from the federal helpline on 0800 1 37 27 00. See our responsible play page.
What this site is
Everything published here is editorial content: descriptions, comparisons and background on real casino hotels in Germany, written to help travellers decide where to stay. Nothing on rheinlandpuls.com is an offer, invitation or facilitation to gamble, and the site provides no gaming, betting or wagering service of its own. We have no commercial relationship with the casinos or hotels we describe unless a page says so.
Accuracy of information
We research our pages carefully and name our sources. Casinos and hotels nevertheless change their offering, prices, opening hours, dress codes and admission rules without telling us. Figures such as the number of slot machines or gaming tables come from the operators’ own published information or, where an operator publishes none, from reputable third-party sources at the time of writing. They are marked as approximate where appropriate and may have changed since.
Please treat our content as a starting point and confirm the details that matter to you with the venue before you book or travel.
Third-party venues and links
We link to the official websites of casinos, hotels, tourism boards and support organisations so that you can verify information and get in touch with them directly. Those websites belong to their operators and follow their own terms and privacy policies. A link does not mean that we endorse the operator or that the operator endorses us, and we are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of any third-party website. A hotel booking or a casino visit is a contract between you and that venue alone.
Permitted use
You may read, print and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:
- copy, scrape or republish substantial parts of the site without our written permission
- use the site in a way that breaks the law of your country or of Germany
- try to interfere with the operation or security of the site
- present our content as your own or as the official content of a casino or hotel
Content and photography
The text, layout and design of rheinlandpuls.com belong to RheinlandPuls unless stated otherwise. Photography comes from Unsplash and is used under the Unsplash License, and every photograph carries a credit to its photographer. The photographs are illustrative and do not necessarily show the exact venue described next to them. Names of casinos, hotels, brands and places belong to their respective owners and are used here only to identify and describe them.
Liability
We provide this website free of charge and “as is”. To the extent the law permits, we exclude liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on the site’s content, from its temporary unavailability or from the content of third-party websites we link to. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for intent, gross negligence or injury to life, body or health.
Changes
We may change, suspend or remove any part of the site at any time. If we materially change these terms we will update the date shown at the top. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. If you are a consumer living in another country, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your home country continue to apply. If any provision of these terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force.
