Are you sure you have selected Bitcoin (or any other crypto) as the currency in the register menu? Last time I checked, a couple hours ago, they still had Germany listed.
Only when selecting Fiat (Euro/USD etc) Germany isn't shown in the list of countries. But this has always been the case, also a year ago already.

Seems examplens did not set the currency to crypto, that's why he did not see Germany in the list.
I did a quick check on their Terms and Conditions page and they are restricting players from some countries but some of the restricted countries is still available in the drop down menu when I select crypto as the main currency.
Restricted countries as per their terms:
Quote
Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Germany, France, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, Slovakia (Slovak Republic), Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America, S.A.R. and Bulgaria.


The countries in bold are still available in the list when I select crypto, so the same thing may happen for anyone from those countries.
If they restricts some countries, they should not have the countries in the list on registration. Is it a trap?


Yes, it is a trap. It gives them a freeroll on clients from those countries. If they lose, they are welcome to stay, if they win they will be thrown out with funds confiscated citing their terms.
Normally they could maybe legally still get away with that, but in my case they clearly stated in writing that they do in fact accept Germans with crypto currency and they verified my account completely a couple of months before funds got confiscated, meaning they cannot deny they knew very well I was from Germany and didn't take action before.
