Tipico Launches “Trusted Partner” Quality Initiative for Game Manufacturers
Tipico Games, Germany’s leading provider of virtual slot games, has presented its new quality initiative, “Trusted Partner.” The aim of this initiative is to support game manufacturers who voluntarily commit to not supply anyone operating illegal gambling websites in Germany. Such black-market offerings bypass German regulatory requirements, provide no reliable player protection and evade taxes owed in Germany.
Game manufacturers certified by Tipico as “Trusted Partner” commit to making their products available in Germany exclusively to licensed and reliable operators. They also commit to promoting responsible gaming and stand for transparency. In return, Tipico commits to conducting all marketing activities – particularly TV presence, digital platforms, and CRM campaigns – exclusively with partners awarded through this quality initiative.
Christian Heins, Director of iGaming at Tipico, said: “We are very pleased that several major games manufacturers have fulfilled the requirements as ‘Trusted Partner’ at the start of our quality initiative already. Combating illegal offerings is essential for the successful channelization into the legal and safe market, and we are convinced that this goal can only be achieved in the long term through a joint effort by all stakeholders.”
The “Trusted Partner” quality initiative raises consciousness for a strong regulated market, supports reputable providers, and promotes a safe environment for players. At the same time, it aims to push back illegal websites and black-market offerings. In the future, the plan is to open this quality initiative further to payment service providers and media partners as well.
Game manufacturers who are already part of the “Trusted Partner” quality initiative at launch: Apparat, Games Global, Greentube, Hölle Games, MERKUR, Play’n GO, SYNOT, ZEAL.
