Stakelogic BV is to pay £122,835 for breaching responsible product design standards. Stakelogic BV, which runs games on other operator’s websites and apps, ran slots games faster than the minimum time gap of 2.5 seconds between spins.

An investigation was launched after Stakelogic reported to the UK Gambling Commission that its game Tiger Temple 88 was found to have operated with 1.97 seconds between spins, breaching the minimum time standards.

Following a Commission investigation, the Licensee conducted re-testing of its entire portfolio of games offered to the GB market. This revealed that a further 15 games were found to be in breach of the minimum time gap requirements.

These games were found to be between 0.001 seconds to 0.675 seconds below the minimum 2.5 seconds standards, with many found to have operated at 0.042 seconds or below the cycle requirements set out in the Commission’s Remote Technical Standards (14D).

Tiger Temple 88 was non-compliant between 28 May 2025 to 30 May 2025 and the remaining 15 games were running too fast during various periods between 31 October 2021 and 30 October 2025.

During the Commission investigation it was revealed the errors were caused because Stakelogic were measuring the timeframes inaccurately due to their reliance on using a manual stopwatch to test compliance with the remote technical standards.

John Pierce, Director of Enforcement and Intelligence, 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.

“After reporting this error to the Commission, Stakelogic immediately self-suspended the use of the affected games until the error had been rectified. They have subsequently taken significant steps to assure the Commission that they now have robust policies and procedures in place to prevent future breaches from occurring.

“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.”

Minimum online slots speeds were introduced in 2021 as part of a wider package of measures designed to reduce the overall intensity of gameplay and protect consumers from harm. Research showed that fast game cycle speed is associated with increased risks to the consumer.

Stakelogic will pay the money as part of a regulatory settlement with the Commission.
