Jokerstar Gmbh

What Jokerstar Gmbh does

Jokerstar GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Baindt, Germany, that operates a legally licensed online gaming hall (Online Spielhalle) offering virtual slot machine games exclusively to adult residents of Germany. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kling Gruppe, a family-owned German gaming-machine operator active since 1954, and operates under a German online slot license issued by the Landesverwaltungsamt Sachsen-Anhalt on 09.08.2022, with supervisory oversight from the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) since 01.01.2023. Jokerstar is listed on the official GGL Whitelist, connecting it to the mandatory OASIS player-exclusion system and the LUGAS deposit-limit system required under the Glücksspielstaatsvertrag 2021.

The core product is a browser-based slot platform aggregating over 1,500 individually GGL-licensed slot titles from approximately 25 game providers, including Merkur, Play'n GO, Novomatic/Greentube, Gamomat, Pragmatic Play, Push Gaming, ELK Studios, and others. The underlying casino platform technology is provided by MAXCREATE under a white-label arrangement; Jokerstar adds its own regulatory integrations, identity verification (KYC), SSL/TLS-secClosed-loop payment processingil withdrawals, and player-protection features including reality checks and personal deposit/time/spending limits. The platform is accessible via desktop and mobile browsers (no native app), supports payment methods including PayPal, Klarna, Visa, Mastercard, Paysafecard, Trustly, and Apple Pay, and offers German-language customer support seven days per week.

Jokerstar's revenue is generated almost entirely from real-money wagering on virtual slot games, retaining a portion of total wagers based on each game's configured Return to Player (RTP) — German regulation caps maximum stake at 1 EUR per spin and prohibits demo/free-play modes. Customer acquisition runs through the company's own website (jokerstar.de), SEO/organic search, an affiliate program, and social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Xing), with a 200% welcome bonus (up to 100 EUR) plus up to 200 free spins offered to new customers and ongoing reload bonuses, free spins, and tournament ("Races"/"Turniere") promotions for existing players. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer digital within Germany; the company has no physical retail locations, no app-store listings, and no disclosed external funding.

Revenue model

1. Online Slot Wagering (Real Money Gaming): Jokerstar generates revenue from players wagering real money on virtual slot machine games. Players deposit funds and place bets on slots; the operator retains a portion of total wagers (the house edge/RTP is set per game). Revenue is derived entirely from player net losses, with each spin generating a small expected return to the operator based on the game's configured Return to Player (RTP) percentage. No demo mode or free play is offered, consistent with German legal requirements for licensed operators.
2. Welcome and Promotional Bonuses: New customers receive a 200% deposit match bonus up to 100 EUR plus up to 200 free spins (distributed over 7 days). Existing customers receive ongoing promotions such as reload bonuses, free spins, and tournament entries (Races/Turniere). These bonuses drive player deposits and engagement, indirectly supporting revenue.
