Tipico pays the betting tax and has Germany's most popular app, but it publishes little outside Germany about payments, payouts or support. These licensed sportsbooks spell those out.

Also tax-free: Winamax advertises "0% Wettsteuer" on every page.
A bet builder: Betano and bet-at-home both offer one; Tipico's listings don't mention one.
