As Germany's federal authority takes complete control of gaming in the country, SkillOnNet and Bet-at-home are the newest companies to get licenses for online slots.

 SkillOnNet has a license that lets it provide online slot games in Germany under all of its brands.

 At the same time, Bet-at-home got a licence for online slot games and an extension of its sports betting licence.

 SkillOnNet has indicated it will focus on its German-facing brand, DrueckGluek.de. This brand has operated in Germany since 2015, when it got a permission to operate in Schleswig-Holstein under the former regulation structure.

 Michael Golembo, SkillOnNet's sales and marketing director, stated, "Having the official German license means that SkillOnNet players will be part of a fully regulated experience, which will make them feel more confident, safe, and secure, many for the first time."

 "It's also a sign that we meet the high standards of the German licensing system and are willing to work with regulators to meet those standards. This shows that responsible gaming is at the heart of everything we do."

 Bet-at-home, which is part of the French Betclic Everest SAS Group, stated that getting the licence is a big step in the company's plans for the future.

 "Bet-at-home will now create full legal and planning security for the group, their investors, and business partners in Germany," stated Marco Falchetto, chairman of Bet-at-home.

 They can now provide online slots, along with other recent German licensees like Tipico, Rootz, Solar Operations, and Crazy Buzzer.

 New German regulator
 There have been some big changes in Germany's gambling laws recently, which led to the approval of new licenses.

 In July 2021, the State Treaty on Gambling (GlüNeuRStv) went into effect, allowing operators to seek for online slot licenses across the country.  Before this, only betting on sports was allowed outside of Schleswig-Holstein.

 Along with the pact came a statute that imposed a 5.3% tax on online poker and slots and a €1 per spin bet limit for online slots.

 The charge has caused a lot of debate, especially among the operator association, dem Deutsche Sportwettenverband (DSWV).

 The country also made plans to change who is in charge of regulating gaming under the same treaty.  Before, some German states had the right to issue gambling licenses.

 The federal authority known as the Glücksspielbehörde (GGL) was set up and takes over enforcing laws against unlawful gaming in July 2022.  It has also taken up the job of licensing as of January 1.
