WETTSTAR

WETTSTAR is a German horse racing betting brand run by Wettstar GmbH of Neustadt am Rübenberge, near Hanover. WETTSTAR says its majority owner is the French tote operator PMU, through German Tote, alongside the German flat racing clubs, and that its betting income flows back into German racing. It takes bets online, in its app and at its betting counters on German racecourses.

Is WETTSTAR Licensed?

Yes. The GGL whitelist lists Wettstar GmbH under online horse racing betting (Pferdewetten im Internet) for wettstar.de and wettstar-pferdewetten.de. Its imprint says the permit was issued by the Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt on 27 December 2022, and the company is supervised by the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL). You can hold only one account.
