Edict

What It Is

edict eGaming GmbH is a Hamburg company. Its own timeline reads "Founded in Hamburg in 1998, we are one of the pioneers in the online gambling industry", and it records "In 2008, edict has joined the Gauselmann Group and has been part of the family-run group ever since". It sells to operators, not to players.

What It Does Now

edict describes itself as an aggregator and dates the launch of that product to 2021: "Launch of our aggregator solution by integrating various world-class content providers into our platform." Its own provider list names Merkur Gaming, Booming Games, Blueprint Gaming, Hölle Games and Apparat Gaming — so Merkur content is one part of what it distributes rather than the whole of it.

Merkur Content

edict's provider page states that "The famous Merkur slots are developed and manufactured by the Gauselmann Group", the group edict belongs to. edict does not claim on its own site to be the only distributor of Merkur games online, and no exclusivity is asserted here.

Licensing

The Gambling Commission's register holds two edict companies. Edict eGaming GmbH, account 39835, holds a remote gambling software licence active from 8 May 2015 and a remote game host (casino) licence active from 13 November 2017, both under licence 039835-R-321017-009. Edict Malta Limited, account 55403, holds remote gambling software and game host (casino) licences under 055403-R-331463-004 active from 1 October 2026, and the register lists www.edict.de as its domain. edict states that the group holds five B2B licences in total but does not list them, so the other three are not recorded.

What Could Not Be Established

edict publishes no portfolio total, so no game count is given. Volatility and return to player are properties of individual games and builds, not of a distributor, so nothing is claimed about Merkur slots as a class.
