Stakelogic agreed to pay a £122,835 penalty to the Gambling Commission of Great Britain after a review found it had breached online slot spin-speed requirements.
According to the Gambling Commission findings reported by Next.io, the Tiger Temple 88 game was operating with a 1.97-second interval between spins, below the 2.5-second minimum required under the Commission’s responsible product design standards.
The Commission also identified 15 additional games available in Britain that breached the minimum spin speed requirement by between 0.001 seconds and 0.675 seconds.
Next.io reported that Tiger Temple 88 was found non-compliant between 28 May 2025 and 30 May 2025, while the other games were in breach during various periods between 31 October 2021 and 30 October 2025.
Stakelogic self-reported the issue to the Commission, and the regulator opened an investigation after it was notified that Tiger Temple 88 operated with 1.97 seconds between spins.
According to the Gambling Commission investigation findings described by Gaming Intelligence, the regulator concluded Stakelogic’s time measurements were inaccurate because the company relied on a manual stopwatch to measure game speed.
Gaming Intelligence reported that Stakelogic immediately self-suspended the affected games until the error was rectified, and Next.io said Stakelogic disabled all of the games available in Britain after it was made aware of the issue.
After notifying the Gambling Commission, Stakelogic re-tested its entire games portfolio for the British market and found the further 15 games that fell short of the minimum timing requirement.
In remarks reported by Gaming Intelligence, John Pierce said it was unacceptable that Stakelogic relied on a manual stopwatch and added that operators should take careful note of the case and ensure they have effective testing practices in place to meet required standards.
Pierce also said Stakelogic took significant steps to assure the Commission it has robust policies and procedures to prevent future breaches.
