StarGames receives German licence for online slots
StarGames was for several years a popular address for German gambling fans. Then surprisingly the provider left the German online gambling market and for a long time it was only offering gambling with play money. A few days ago, the provider received its German licence for online slots from the Gambling Authority and it can now operate legally.
As the Novomatic-subsidiary company Greentube announced in a recent press statement, the brand StarGames has received a German licence for virtual slot games. In July 2021 we had reported that Greentube has returned to the German gambling market and has applied for a German licence.
StarGames is now one of the legal online casinos
According to a Greentube’s recent press statement on the 9th.February, StarGames.de has now acquired a German licence for online slots. This means that players who are resident in Germany can now also play with real money and 100 legal on StarGames’ popular slot machines such as Book of Ra™, Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe™ or Sizzling Hot™.
Unfortunately, the GGL, the Gambling Authority responsible for all the regions in Germany has till now still not published the updated Whitelist which should include Star Games. The Whitelist is a list of authorised gambling providers, and it was last updated on the 31st. January 2023.
Greentube is proud to be returning to Germany
In the past, StarGames was popular in the online gambling industry as being the first provider where players could play online games such as Book of Ra™. The management of the company is very proud to be returning to the German market. Georg Gubo, COO of Greentube stated the following:
“Receiving this licence is a further proof of the quality and reliability provided by the brand StarGames, but also by Greentube in general. Receiving this licence is an important milestone for Greentube and we are very proud that the Authority has accepted our application.”
StarGames meets the requirements from the very first day
From the very first day, the platform StarGames.de has met the legal requirements of the State Gambling Act which came into force on the 1st. July 2021. This means that the player protection measures such as the 5-seconds-rule or the maximum stake of one Euro per spin are being implemented.
On StarGames.de it is stated that “Greentube Malta Ltd. has applied for a German licence for virtual slot machines on 1st.July 2021”. If this is correct, then the approval process took more than one and a half years. Greentube has been operating in Poland since 2021. In March 2021 we had reported that Greentube will be restarting its online operations in Poland.
How attractive is the new StarGames casino?
Currently StarGames is offering every new customer a starter package of up to 100 free games as well as a bonus of up to 100Euro. However, StarGames is especially attractive since it offers the famous Novoline classics. Among these there are Hits as Book of Ra™, Lord of the Ocean™, Dolphin’s Pearl™, Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe™ or Mega Joker™. According to StarGames.de there are currently more than 300 slot machines available on the platform. In November 2021, we had first reported that the Novomatic subsidiary Greentube will be returning to the German market.
László Pados, Brand Manager of StarGames is very optimistic about the future and is very happy with the current developments:
“Receiving the German licence is testimony and proof of all the hard work which we all at Greentube have invested in for the past two and a half years. This also presents many opportunities for Stargames.de, especially in the mobile apps industry, but also in the marketing and advertising industries (…)“
Conclusion
Greentube is finally back on the German online market. A few days ago the company acquired the sought-after German licence for virtual slot machines for its platform StarGames.de.
