Not a listed company

DGGS mbH is not traded on any stock exchange. There is no public ticker symbol or stock chart available for this company.

JackpotPiraten is run by DGGS Deutsche Gesellschaft für Glücksspiel mbH (Berlin; named Mernov until August 2022) — a 50/50 joint venture of Germany's two slot-machine dynasties: the Gauselmann family's Merkur Group and Novomatic's digital arm Greentube. Its licence for 'virtuelle Automatenspiele', granted in April 2022, was among Germany's first for online slots; the sister site BingBong runs on the same licence. German law does not permit online table games nationally, so this is a slots product, not a full casino.

About JackpotPiraten

JackpotPiraten is Germany's licensed-market pioneer: its April 2022 permit for 'virtuelle Automatenspiele' was among the country's first legal online-slots licences, and the site — pirate theming over Merkur's slot catalogue — launched that June, advertised nationally, with sister brand BingBong following on the same licence.

The owner is a remarkable alliance: DGGS Deutsche Gesellschaft für Glücksspiel mbH is a 50/50 joint venture between the Gauselmann family's Merkur Group — the sun-logo empire of German arcades — and Greentube, the digital division of Austria's Novomatic. Germany's two dominant slot dynasties, jointly backing the legal market they helped shape.

Both parents are private family groups, so no listed exposure exists. And a naming precision the German regime forces: with online table games left to individual states and casino branding restricted, JackpotPiraten is legally an online slot arcade on the GGL whitelist — not a 'casino'.
