Bitcoin ATMs in Germany are legal but require BaFin authorization to operate, with strict anti-money laundering rules and identity checks for transactions over 1,000 euros. These machines typically charge high fees of 8-10%, much more than online exchanges, making them expensive for large purchases. BaFin's recent raid in August 2024 seized 13 unauthorized machines, highlighting risks of unregulated operators. Users should verify operator authorization, keep purchase receipts for tax purposes, and consider online platforms for better rates and security.
