Stakelogic BV has agreed to a regulatory settlement of £122,835 ($161,900) after the UK's Gambling Commission identified breaches of online slot game speed requirements designed to reduce gambling-related harm.
The investigation began after Stakelogic notified the regulator that its Tiger Temple 88 slot game had been operating with a spin cycle of 1.97 seconds, below the mandated minimum interval of 2.5 seconds between game cycles. The issue affected the game between 28 and 30 May 2025 and was subsequently corrected.
Following enquiries from the Commission, Stakelogic conducted a wider review of its portfolio available to customers in Great Britain. The supplier discovered that a further 15 games had also failed to meet the 2.5-second requirement during various periods between October 2021 and October 2025.
According to the regulator, the affected titles operated between 0.001 seconds and 0.675 seconds below the required threshold. In many cases, the shortfall was significantly smaller, with some games falling short by less than 0.05 seconds.
The Commission found that the issue stemmed from Stakelogic’s use of manual stopwatch testing to verify compliance with technical standards. The regulator concluded that the supplier’s quality assurance, testing and incident management processes did not meet the standards expected of licensed operators.
As part of the settlement, Stakelogic will make a payment in lieu of a financial penalty, contribute towards the Commission’s investigation costs and accept publication of the case details.
The Commission noted that Stakelogic cooperated with the investigation, disabled affected games once the wider scope of the issue became clear and has since introduced measures aimed at strengthening its compliance framework.
John Pierce, Director of Enforcement and Intelligence at the Gambling Commission, said the case should serve as a reminder to operators to ensure their testing procedures are sufficiently robust and capable of meeting regulatory standards.
The minimum 2.5-second spin speed requirement was introduced in 2021 as part of a broader package of online slot reforms intended to reduce the intensity of gameplay and enhance consumer protection.
