Which payment methods can Germany rely on for gambling in the future?Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

German players will have to continue playing online casino games without PayPal. The online financial service has cut ties with internationally licensed operators after an injunction was served by the government on October 21st. Transactions to and from online casinos will no longer be available as a result. Several sites such as iGaming Business, have reported that products without authorization by state jurisdictions will be banned.

With German residents restricted from using PayPal as a deposit option for online casinos, we ask what the future holds as far as payment methods goes in Germany. 

Online gambling in Germany

Online gambling is legal in the local state of Schleswig-Holstein, which issues online casino licenses for operators. Between 2008 and 2012, this was the only state where gambling was allowed in the country. In an attempt to open up the market, new rules came into effect in 2012 on a state by state basis. But this has led to more confusion among players trying to make sense of the strict regulations put in place.

While there is a crackdown on the online casinos in the country, sports betting is still available with PayPal. To get a better understanding of what is really going on we asked Thomas Hahn, German gambling market expert at Leadstar Media, to clarify matters.

“The issue is for companies operating both casino and sportsbook under the same umbrella, if the two are associated with each other, they are not allowed to offer PayPal as a payment option any longer.”

Some online gambling operators have therefore separated their online casino product and sportsbooks. According to their site MyWettbonus.de, german betting sites with PayPal is still a viable option for the players. 

When asked what this means for them as an affiliate, he said:

“The German market is a big one for us, so obviously it hasn’t gone unnoticed as this is kind of a big deal in Germany. We’ve had to make some changes to stay up to date with the current bookmakers that offer PayPal as well as the online casinos we list on MyCasinoFreunde.de. It’s too early yet for us to see any impact of this, but Germany is a country that adapts swiftly to new trends. As long as we update our visitors with the latest information in regards to this and offer other solutions, it shouldn’t have too much of a negative impact on us. ” 

The future of online gambling in Germany

Online casinos are still not allowed to market towards consumers outside of Schleswig-Holstein, but that might soon change. The remaining 15 states in Germany have plans to license online sports betting in the coming years. June 30th 2021 has been earmarked as the date for states to have reached a consensus. 

Whether or not PayPal’s new German terms of service will still be effective by then is unknown at this point. New payment methods have the potential to rise in Germany, leading to a battleground in terms of market share.  

Right now, exciting payment providers such as Trustly and Klarna are options available to the German market and are set to increase in popularity with PayPal out of the equation. On top of that the likes of Apple Pay and Google Pay are also well placed to benefit in the future.

Play with the Ugliest, Quirkiest Pets Around in Stakelogic’s Fugly Pets

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Get your eyes ready because it’s time to take a trip to the pet centre to meet the ugliest, quirkiest, wildest-looking pets you’ve ever seen in the brand new slot, Fugly Pets, from Stakelogic.

Fugly Pets takes players to a banged-up old pet store to explore its collection of weird and charming, downright ugly pets. Meet a scruffy parrot, a catnip crazed kitty, and an unfortunate-looking little dog.

The slot uses a 5×5 grid with 3,125 ways to win on each spin and is packed with a plethora of unique and exciting bonus features.

Landing Bonus symbols trigger up to 15 Free Spins! Keep your eyes peeled for symbol multipliers of up to 64x landing on any spin. What’s more, these become persistent during the Free Spins, only adding to the game’s huge winning potential.

Roadkill might spell bad news for these fugly-looking creatures, but it is a great thing for players! The Roadkill symbol lands on reel five and will remain inactive until no cascades are possible. The Roadkill symbol then moves across the reels, destroying everything its path or turning it into Wilds.

Fugly Pets is a Stakelogic slot, so there is always something a little extra. If you thought those animals were ugly in regular size, wait until they land in super-size! Super Symbols can land in 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4, allowing players to win big!

Speaking of big wins, players can grab wins of up to 5,000x their stake in this slot, with RTP models up to 96% available.

Daniela Fricchione, Head of Account Management at Stakelogic, said: One thing we love to do at Stakelogic is to play with player expectations. When you think of a pet-themed slot, you imagine something cute and cuddly. Well, we’ve taken that rulebook and fed it to the dogs, putting a fresh spin on the genre with Fugly Pets.

It’s not just the theme that is unconventional, either. The game is jam-packed with special features, with the Roadkill bonus and Super Symbols really helping the slot stand out from the pack.
