Henrike Wendeborn — editor for gambling regulation and player protection

About Henrike

Henrike Wendeborn is responsible for the content of razedcasino.biz in German and English. She writes for readers in Germany who want to understand what they are agreeing to before they open a casino account — not which slot is hot this week, but which protections apply, which do not, and how to find out.

Her starting point is a simple observation: most casino guides treat licensing as a footnote, while under the Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 it decides almost everything else. Whether a deposit limit is mandatory, whether a self-exclusion in OASIS reaches an operator, and whether a German authority supervises it at all — all of this follows from one entry, or its absence, on the whitelist of the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder.

What she covers

• The German framework for online gambling: GlüStV 2021 and the role of the GGL
• How to check an operator on the whitelist and match it with the Impressum
• OASIS, deposit limits and other player-protection tools
• Bonus and payment terms, read as mechanisms rather than as advertising
• Complaints and what a player can realistically do when things go wrong

How she checks

Every guide follows the same order. First, the regulatory question: what the whitelist says, and what follows if an operator is not on it. Then the operator's own documents: Impressum, terms, bonus conditions, the information shown in the cashier and in the account settings. Only then the product itself — games, apps, support. Claims that cannot be traced to a source are left out; where a detail depends on the account or changes often, the text says "check the cashier" or "check the current terms" instead of offering a number.

Where her knowledge ends

Henrike is not a lawyer, and nothing on this site is legal advice. She does not have insight into any operator's internal systems, cannot see or influence accounts, and does not know more about an operator's licence status than the public whitelist shows. When she cannot confirm something, she says so — for instance, we do not state whether Razed's operator is on the whitelist; readers are asked to check the list themselves.

Editorial independence

razedcasino.biz is financed through affiliate commissions, as set out in the affiliate disclosure. Operators do not see texts before publication and cannot buy changes. The recurring advice to check the whitelist first is part of every relevant guide, regardless of commercial interest.

Responsible gambling

Gambling is for adults only (18+) and is entertainment with a price, not income. Henrike's guides consistently point to deposit limits, breaks and the OASIS block, and to the BZgA's help offer at check-dein-spiel.de. The German tools are explained on the responsible gambling page.

About the author

Henrike Wendeborn signs the guides on this site under her own name and is the person to whom corrections are addressed. Reports of errors reach her through the support page; factual corrections are handled before any new text.

She does not use invented titles or credentials: no claims of legal qualification, auditing licences or industry awards. Her authority rests on transparent method — sources named, uncertainties stated, and the German whitelist as the fixed reference point.
