Germany is expanding the number of licenses for slot machine operators from three to five. Mernov has been renamed to Deutsche Gesellschaft für Glücksspiel (DGGS), Tipwin and Mybet.
Malta-based The Mill Adventure is the fourth licensee being allowed to offer slot games online in Germany. The fifth license for Germany went to Merkur for its three gambling websites Xtip, MerKur Sports and Mer kur Spiel. DGGS received its slot machine license in May, while Tipwin and Mybet got theirs in June. It is expected that nine more operators are going to get licenses for slot machines or poker games before the end of the year. No poker game license has been granted yet.
On July 1, 2021, Germany launched its legalized online gambling market allowing slot games and poker. The regulator Saxony-Anhalt State Administration Office was replaced by a new body called die Glücksspielbehörde (GGL). GGL's top priority is to deal with illegal gambling. Lottoland was one of the first offenders to get payment and IP blocks.
