Trading tournaments in Germany

Germany's tournament market is ESMA-shaped: cash-prize CFD/forex contests are essentially banned for regulated retail, so action concentrates in educational/virtual-portfolio sims. Planspiel Börse runs annually with 100,000+ school and university participants across 370+ Sparkasse sub-pages (Sep 14 — Jan 25, 2027 edition). VR-Börsenspiel mirrors the format on the Volksbank co-op side (700+ sub-pages, Feb 11 — May 11, 2026). Cash-prize layer comes from Trading Masters (€50K/round), Société Générale's Trader 2026 (Range Rover top prize), and globally-accepted prop firms (FTMO, FundedNext, Apex).

BaFin + ESMA inducement rules ban cash-prize CFD/forex contests on regulated retail accounts. Crypto exchanges (Bitvavo, BSDEX, Bison, justTRADE, Bitpanda) run only deposit lotteries / referrals — zero PnL contests.
