There are a couple of ways that turned into a virtual monopoly in certain cases:

The economic and political influence the league had often meant that they could control trade routes and block competition. Also due to scale advantages, they could offer better protection to their traders.

Finally the influence and scale advantages gave the league a negotiation advantage when it came to making exclusive deals with trading partners and gain tax exceptions from leaders.

It effectively became very difficult for unassociated traders to compete, and in some cases even trade at all, in the area where the Hanseatic League held control.
