This means the company is now allowed to give out cash prizes for players who win free-to-play tournaments.
Slots Temple is a provider of free casino games and tournaments to players over the age of 18.
Players can play more than 10,000 slots from studios like Push Gaming, Relax Gaming, Reelplay, 4ThePlayer and others.
Since the platform does not accept any deposits, the company generates affiliate revenue when players sign up for real-money online casinos by clicking on the advertising banners on the website. The platform’s users, however, are not obligated to do so.
After being granted the licence, Slots Temple will be able to offer its players cash prizes of up to $5,000.
The platform will be launching a range of new tournaments that will run daily, weekly or monthly, where players will be given a fixed balance and have the option of adjusting their bets on each spin.
Fraser Linkleter, Director at Slots Temple, commented on the newly obtained licence: “It’s always great to achieve an industry first, and we’re proud to be the first affiliate site to receive GC licensing.
"Licensees are held to high regulatory standards, and we believe this demonstrates our long-held commitment to social responsibility.
“But above all, the licence adds excitement and value for our users, who get to compete for cash while paying nothing upfront. And what’s not to like about that?”
