KEY FEATURES
OF SECUREPLAY
- Optimizes gaming license requirements by fusing an insurance with a foundation, also for existing license holders
- Fund separation; the foundation keeps the player funds separate from the operators risk bearing capital
- Providing a source of guarantee which is not a bank
The German regulator, Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL), is currently in the process of approving SecurePlay as a compliant product for Germany, so that we can assist iGaming companies in obtaining their license to operate in that jurisdiction.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
SECURITY FOR THE PLAYERS
The foundation acts as an independent third party to which the players can turn to claim their funds.
SECURITY FOR THE INSURANCE PARTY
By having a licensed corporate service provider managing the foundation under the supervision of an independent supervisory board monitoring the Player Funds, the insurance party is comforted that the foundation will have sufficient funds in its accounts for safeguarding to entirety of the Licensee’s Player Funds, and if for any reason the Licensee is non-compliant, that they will be informed immediately of such non-compliance. The risk for the insurance companies is therefore severely reduced and with that also the related costs.
SECURITY FOR THE LICENSEE
Presently, the financial obligations tied to fulfilling guarantee stipulations pose significant challenges for operators. Through the implementation of the foundation, our intent is to offer operators a financially feasible avenue to attain licensing as online gambling providers.
SECURITY FOR THE GERMAN ONLINE GAMBLING MARKET
The highly regulated German market is known for its high standards when it comes to protection of players and society. By implementing a foundation to safeguard Player Funds, a significant stride for Germany in its progression toward cementing a responsible gambling jurisdiction is made.
SecurePlay assists operators in obtaining a gaming license in Germany by overcoming the obstacles associated with meeting the substantially high guarantee requirements. It does so by providing a bond from an approved insurance company and the ability to separate player funds from operational and risk-bearing capital with the establishment of a foundation.
Navigating a Catch-22: Securing a license in Germany's online gambling sector presents a unique challenge. To obtain approval from the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL), operators must provide a substantial €5 million guarantee. However, a significant roadblock emerges when attempting to secure this guarantee from a bank. Banks can only extend assistance to licensed entities, yet the operator can only obtain the required license once the guarantee is in hand. Not to forget that the related costs for bank guarantees are quite substantial.
Managing Financial Hurdles: The cost implications are noteworthy. Operators face a choice between tapping into their operational capital to cover the €5 million requirement or seeking a bank guarantee of a similar amount, also at substantial charges. Finding the right financial strategy becomes paramount in this intricate landscape.
That is where SecurePlay comes in.
