The sports-betting arm of PokerStars (Flutter Entertainment) - withdrawn from the German market for not holding a GGL sports-betting licence; PokerStars' separate poker/casino product remains active

Cons
- Sports betting service discontinued in Germany - not on the GGL's approved provider whitelist
- Could not independently confirm the exact withdrawal date or refund process via a second source this session
Our verdict
PokerStars Sports is a genuine, major brand - the sports-betting arm of PokerStars, part of Flutter Entertainment - but per our bonus data, it has been withdrawn from the German market: it did not appear on the GGL's whitelist of approved sports betting providers, and open bets were reportedly cancelled and refunded. We independently corroborated the core finding directly: mywettanbieter.de's own page states plainly that PokerStars Sports does not hold the German betting licence, consistent with this withdrawal. We could not independently confirm the specific withdrawal date or the exact refund process for open bets this session, and the source we checked flags its own content as potentially outdated. It's important to distinguish this clearly: PokerStars' separate poker and casino product line, operated under REEL Germany Limited, is a distinct, still-active business unit under its own GGL licence, entirely unaffected by the sports betting withdrawal. This entry covers only the discontinued sports-betting product for the German market.
