Microgaming Ready to Accept German Regulatory Rules

Leading provider of software solutions for the iGaming sector, Microgaming, has informed customers about its readiness to include new online gaming regulatory rules from Germany. The brand will continue to produce content that will prepare the public for the new legal regime.

According to the official report, Germany is working on a new online slot policy for commercial operators. These measures promote socially responsible behavior as well as the reduction of gambling harm. The country also insists on a five-second break between spins, the max limit of the stake as well as deposit caps on a monthly level. It is also important that online gaming products should be in the German language.

The country will start with the application of new rules in July 2021. It means that licenses can be issued after the same date. Meanwhile, the official authorities will include a period of transitional tolerance, allowing operators to engage with the German market if they adopt new rules. The rest of the operators, which fail to implement new regulation, will be excluded from the licensing procedure in the future.

Microgaming has decided to launch the solution in line with the German Toleration Regime. It will support the clients in the preparation process for entry in the German regulated market.

As part of the plan, Microgaming will offer customers more than 150 games involving some of the most famous – Book of Oz (Triple Edge Studios), 9 Masks of Fire (Gameburger Studios), and Bonanza (Big Time Gaming).

Commenting on the recent plan, Commercial Director at Microgaming, Leon Thomas said:

“As a socially responsible business, Microgaming broadly supports the regulatory changes in Germany, where we will be providing our customers with a solution that includes some of our most popular and successful titles – long before the new gambling laws coming into force next year.”

Microgaming is a provider of online casino software for leading operators around the globe. The brand has been in operation since 1994 when it launched the first online casino software. It is famous for epic games such as 9 Masks of Fire, Book of Oz, Immortal Romance™ as well as progressive jackpots which paid out more than €1.2b.
