The UK Gambling Commission has fined slot supplier Stakelogic BV £122,835 for running 16 online slot games faster than the mandatory minimum spin speed, the regulator confirmed on 25 June 2026. The penalty is published on the Commission's enforcement news page.
The breach concerns RTS 14D, the technical standard that requires at least 2.5 seconds between the start of one game cycle and the next. The rule exists to slow the pace of play and reduce harm. Stakelogic first self-reported a single title, Tiger Temple 88, which ran with a spin gap below the limit during late May 2025.
A wider review of its UK portfolio then uncovered 15 further games that had breached the standard intermittently between 31 October 2021 and 30 October 2025. The shortfalls ranged from a fraction of a millisecond to roughly two thirds of a second under the required interval.
The Commission singled out how Stakelogic checked its own compliance. The supplier had been timing spin intervals with a manual stopwatch, a method the regulator described as open to significant inaccuracy for a measurement that must hold to fractions of a second.
"With all the technological resources available to an online gambling business, it is unacceptable that Stakelogic were relying on a manual stopwatch," said John Pierce, Director of Enforcement and Intelligence at the UK Gambling Commission.
Stakelogic suspended the affected games once the problem was identified and agreed the settlement. The £122,835 figure reflects a regulatory settlement rather than a contested fine.
For suppliers and operators, the message is about testing rigour rather than the sum involved. The Commission has signalled repeatedly that technical standards apply to game studios as much as to the operators that host their content, and that automated, auditable compliance checks are now the baseline expectation. A spin speed that drifts below the threshold by milliseconds is still a breach, and self-reporting does not remove the penalty.
