BetGames Extends Exclusive Live Casino Partnership With STS Until 2028

The collaboration between game supplier BetGames and the Polish betting giant STS is set to continue for several more years. As confirmed on October 21, 2026, both companies have signed a long-term extension of their commercial agreement. Under the new terms, popular titles such as the specially developed Polish Poker and the entire range of BetGames' live studio-based experiences will remain exclusive to the STS platform in Poland until the end of 2028. This move emphasizes the growing importance of bespoke content in an increasingly competitive regulatory landscape.

STS, which has been part of the industry giant Entain since 2023, is the premier sports betting operator in Poland. The partnership originally began in 2019 and has proven to be highly stable over the years. The exclusive rights prevent competitors in the Polish market from accessing these specific live casino experiences, giving STS a significant advantage in acquiring and retaining customers who value localized content.

Numbers and facts

The details of the agreement show a clear long-term strategy. The new contract runs until the end of 2028 and covers a wide range of games. In addition to the flagship product Polish Poker, the portfolio includes well-known titles such as War of Bets, Bet on Poker, and 6+ Poker. A particularly interesting aspect of the deal is the planned roadmap for the coming years: both companies confirmed that new products will be introduced and existing titles will be updated throughout 2027.

Management from both sides expressed great satisfaction with the performance so far. Inesa Glazaitė, Head of Commercial at BetGames, commented positively on the deal:

“STS has been a strong partner since 2019, and this extension reflects the results our products continue to deliver in the market. We’re looking forward to working closely with STS through to 2028 and finding new ways to grow together.”

Michal Kowalski, Head of Live Studio at STS, also praised the consistency of the partnership. He noted that Polish Poker and the wider live casino offering from BetGames are among the most consistent performers on their platform. Extending the agreement until 2028 gives the operator long-term certainty for products that players return to again and again.

Background

BetGames specializes in bridging the gap between sports betting and traditional casino games. Since STS was originally known as a pure sports betting provider, BetGames' fast-paced, studio-based card games fit perfectly into their portfolio. The acquisition of STS by Entain in 2023 added a new dimension to the partnership, as STS is now part of a global group. Poland is considered a strictly regulated market where exclusivity is a vital tool for differentiation. By securing these contents until 2028, STS ensures its brand identity remains closely linked to these popular live formats.

Why it matters for German players

For players in Germany, this news has primarily indirect implications. The German Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021) sets very strict limits on what is permitted in online casinos. While live casino content such as poker streams thrives in Poland under specific licenses, traditional live table games are currently not available in German GGL-licensed online toy libraries to the same extent. German white-listed providers focus primarily on virtual slot games.

Furthermore, strict player protection rules apply in Germany, such as the 1,000 Euro monthly deposit limit via the LUGAS system and the 1 Euro per spin limit on slots. However, exclusive deals like the one between BetGames and STS show where regulated markets are heading: towards highly localized and personalized content. Anyone wishing to play legally in Germany should ensure the provider holds a GGL license to benefit from local safety standards and legal protection.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

German casinos with a GGL license closely monitor such international deals. Exclusivity is a model that is gaining importance in Germany as well, allowing operators to stand out from the crowd of white-label sites. Since live casino content in Germany is handled at the state level and often restricted, partnerships like the one in Poland could serve as a blueprint if German regulations allow for more live formats in the future. For now, the focus remains on technical compliance for slots and integration with the OASIS self-exclusion system.
