British online casino suppliers have a clear reminder from the Gambling Commission: responsible product design rules need proper testing, not guesswork. Stakelogic BV agreed on 25 June 2026 to pay £122,835 after the regulator found 16 slots had run below the required 2.5 second gap between spins.
Good to know
- Stakelogic BV first reported Tiger Temple 88 after the game ran with a 1.97 second gap between spins.
- A full GB portfolio review later found 15 more slots below the 2.5 second minimum.
- The Gambling Commission criticised the use of a manual stopwatch to measure game speed.
A Stopwatch Failure Turned Into A Wider Compliance Case
The case did not start with all 16 games. It began when Stakelogic BV told the Gambling Commission that Tiger Temple 88 had breached RTS requirement 14D between 28 May and 30 May 2025.
After the regulator opened an investigation, Stakelogic BV re-tested its full GB game portfolio. That review found another 15 slots with the same issue across different periods between 31 October 2021 and 30 October 2025.
Some breaches were small, but still counted. The games ran between 0.001 and 0.675 seconds below the 2.5 second minimum. Many sat 0.042 seconds or less under the threshold.
The regulator linked the failings to licence condition 2.3.1, which requires licensees to meet Gambling Commission technical standards.
John Pierce, director of enforcement and intelligence at the Gambling Commission, said:
“With all the technological resources available to an online gambling business, it is unacceptable that Stakelogic were relying on a manual stopwatch to measure the speed of their games.”
Why Slot Speed Is A Regulatory Issue
The 2.5 second minimum arrived on 31 October 2021 as part of online slot design changes aimed at reducing game intensity. The Gambling Commission has linked faster cycles with higher consumer harm risk.
That context makes the Stakelogic BV settlement more than a technical timing error. For suppliers, spin speed now sits inside player protection, quality assurance, incident reporting, and product compliance.
Stakelogic BV disabled all GB games once the wider issue became clear. The company also committed to improving testing, incident management, and its wider compliance framework.
Pierce said the supplier had suspended the affected games after reporting the fault and had given the regulator assurances over stronger procedures. He added:
“We would urge all operators to take careful note of this case and ensure they have effective testing practices in place to ensure they are meeting all the standards we require.”
Under the settlement, Stakelogic BV will make a £122,835 payment in lieu of a financial penalty to the consolidated fund. The company will also pay investigation costs and accepted publication of a statement of facts.
The Commission treated cooperation, early acceptance, and the decision to disable affected GB games as mitigating factors.
