Focus on slots and jackpots
As a slots-only casino, we focus entirely on virtual slot games. From classic 3-reel fruit machines to modern video slots with free spin features and progressive jackpots, we cover the full spectrum. Over 450 titles from studios such as Pragmatic Play, Gamomat, Merkur and Play'n GO are ready to play, and we continuously expand our portfolio.
Our filters by theme, stake range and provider help you make a quick selection. The legally required five-second pause between spins and the stake limit of £1 per spin have of course been implemented. We process payments via trusted German services such as PayPal, Sofortüberweisung, Giropay, SEPA bank transfer or Paysafecard. The minimum deposit is £10. Our German-language live chat is available daily from 08:00 to 00:00.
Our licence & security in Germany
Legal basis
We are operated by Rootz Ltd, a company based in Ta' Xbiex, Malta. Our licence for virtual slot games under Section 22a of the German State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021) was granted on 28 November 2022 by the State Administration Office of Saxony-Anhalt. Since 1 January 2023, we have been supervised by the Joint Gambling Authority of the Federal States (GGL). You can check at any time whether jackpotpiraten.de is on the official whitelist—simply visit whitelist.gluecksspielaufsicht.de.

Player and youth protection
We are connected to OASIS and LUGAS. This means nationwide player exclusions and centralised limit management. In addition, there are reality checks, mandatory 5-second pauses between spins, and optional limits for losses, stakes, or playing time.
Data protection & technical security
We encrypt all data transmissions with TLS 1.3 and 256-bit encryption. Our servers are located in ISO 27001-certified data centres in the EU. We process payment data in line with PCI DSS. External penetration tests and regulatory audits take place at least annually. If you wish, you can enable two-factor authentication. We use personal data only for account management, KYC, fraud prevention, and statutory retention—in line with the GDPR. You’ll find the licence and security policies in the footer.
Registration & KYC step by step
Signing up at Jackpotpiraten
We’ve deliberately kept the registration process simple. UK players only need a few minutes. After clicking “Register now”, you’ll go through four steps:
- Set your email address and password
- Enter personal details such as name, date of birth and address
- Choose your monthly deposit limit
- Confirm your email and wait for the automatic GAMSTOP check
We’ll then activate your player account. The email confirmation arrives immediately, and the GAMSTOP check runs in parallel in real time.
Identity verification under UK regulations
UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) rules require us to confirm your identity before your first deposit. We run an instant check with UK credit reference agencies. If this is successful, your account is usually verified within 15 minutes. If additional evidence is needed, players can upload these documents directly in their account:
- Valid passport or UK photocard driving licence (front and back)
- Recent proof of address such as an electricity or gas bill, no more than three months old
- Proof of the payment method where the funding source differs
Our manual review typically takes no more than 24 hours.
Tips for fast activation
Documents should be fully visible without flash or reflections. We accept JPG and PDF files up to 10 MB per file. The address must match across all documents. It’s best to verify right after registering so withdrawals later run without delay.
Our Top Slots & Jackpot Highlights
Popular Slot Games
We currently have more than 1,500 slots in our lobby. We feature well-known developers such as Play'n GO, Pragmatic Play, Merkur, Blueprint and Relax Gaming. The minimum stake is usually £0.10, while the maximum stake per spin is legally capped at £1. RTP values range between 94% and 96.5%, offering fair chances of winning.
Our most-played titles include Book of Dead with 10 free spins and an expanding symbol, Gates of Olympus with multipliers up to x500, as well as Merkur’s Eye of Horus. Big Bass Bonanza also entices with its catch bonus and wins up to x2,100. Razor Shark impresses with Mystery Stacks and a maximum win of x5,000.
Jackpot games under German law
We live up to our name, but progressive jackpots are not permitted in Germany. That’s why we offer slots with fixed maximum wins or internal bonus pots. These are triggered independently of other players. Individual wins can reach up to £500,000 per spin. With our filters for “Highest Win” you can quickly find the slots with the largest payout potential.
Powerhouse studios: Our top providers
We work exclusively with studios that have been certified by the Joint Gambling Authority of the Federal States for the German market. This ensures every slot round follows audited standards and all payout rates remain transparently verifiable. Our key partners include Pragmatic Play, Gamomat, Play'n GO, Stakelogic and ORYX Gaming by Bragg. These developers regularly release new titles that meet the stringent requirements of the GlüStV 2021.
Providers in brief
- Pragmatic Play: Volatile hits like Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza with maximum wins up to 5,000x, plus daily Drops & Wins jackpots.
- Gamomat: German classics such as Ramses Book with an RTP of 96.15%, plus a risk ladder and card gamble for extra thrills.
- Play'n GO: Mobile-optimised hit slots Book of Dead and Reactoonz, with stakes from £0.10 to £100.
- Stakelogic: Super Stake feature to double your win potential, titles like Book of Adventure and Runner Runner PopWins.
- Oryx/Bragg: Aggregates exclusive studios such as Blue Guru Games and Hölle Games; standout Egyptian Magic with a progressive in-game jackpot.
Variety for every playing style
Our line-up covers the full spectrum. Classic 5-reel fruit slots sit alongside Book mechanics, plus modern features like Megaways, PopWins and Cluster Pays. The providers complement each other well, so low rollers and high-stakes fans alike will find what they’re after. Monthly releases continuously expand our portfolio.
Local payment methods for German players
Our GGL licence dated 15/04/2023 requires strict compliance with the 2021 Interstate Treaty on Gambling. In practice, this means: we enforce a monthly deposit limit of £850, carry out secure KYC checks, and work exclusively with vetted payment service providers from the EEA.
