MyStake is the biggest non-GamStop name with a 4.3 Trustpilot, but it carries an active LCB warning and a lapsed licence. The honest UK review.
By Lisa Schamberger
MyStake is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and offers no GamStop protection, no UK complaints procedure and no regulatory recourse; it does not appear on the UKGC register (checked 2 Aug 2026). It runs on a Curacao licence with Anjouan cover. If you have self-excluded through GamStop, this site is not for you. 18+ only.

MyStake is the biggest name among non-GamStop casinos, with a Trustpilot score of 4.3 (checked 2 Aug 2026) from one of the biggest review bases in this space, a huge game library and a set of exclusive mini-games. It is also the site I have the most honest reservations about, because it carries an active LCB warning for refusing to resolve disputes (checked 2 Aug 2026), and its Curacao licence lapsed in December 2025 and now shows "assessment in progress," with an Anjouan licence as cover. Wagering on its bonuses is 30x, and it advertises crypto withdrawals within about 30 minutes. The scale and the exclusive games are real, but so is the warning, so this review leads with the caveat rather than the size. 18+ only.
MyStake is a real, large-scale operating casino, but "safe" is exactly where the honesty has to come in. On one side it has a 4.3 Trustpilot from a very large review base and a strong headline SafetyIndex, which is why it is so widely used. On the other, it carries an active LCB warning for refusing to resolve player disputes, its Curacao licence lapsed in December 2025 and shows "assessment in progress," and it leans on an Anjouan licence as backup. There is also an operator discrepancy: its terms name OnyxioN while the register lists GTW B.V. A live warning plus a lapsed licence are the main factors in its score.
MyStake's bonuses run at 30x wagering, which is standard for an offshore site and lighter than the 40x some rivals use, and it pairs its welcome offer with an unusually large game selection including 18 in-house mini-games, 14 of them exclusive to the site. The 30x applies before winnings can be withdrawn, and as an unlicensed site there is no UK cap on the terms, so read the current maximum win and game weighting before you claim. The exclusive mini-games are a genuine point of difference, and one of them, Dino, publishes a 96 percent RTP, but a bonus at any site with a live warning should be treated as play time rather than a reliable route to a payout.
My own timed test is scheduled, so the payout column reads "not tested yet." Until then I track verified player reports, and across 15 reports tracked through July 2026 the spread is wide. On the fast end, crypto has cleared from a few minutes to about three hours, and an independent test recorded approval in around half an hour with a near-instant crypto payout. Typical payouts run two to four days by most methods, with a £5,000 bank withdrawal reported in around three days and fees of about £3 to £4 on £100. The more serious reported cases include a very large withdrawal over $230,000 that remains unresolved, and a €4,500 payout marked "completed" with the money not arriving for over three weeks. Fast for small crypto, slower for large sums, which is where the LCB warning is relevant.
MyStake has one of the broader libraries in the non-GamStop space, spanning slots, live casino, sports betting and its own exclusive mini-games, which is a large part of its appeal. The 18 mini-games, 14 exclusive, are a genuine differentiator that you will not find at most rivals, and the site publishes a 96 percent RTP on its Dino game, which is a rare piece of transparency for an offshore operator. As always, a big library is only as good as the providers behind it, and like every site in this category MyStake publishes no independent RNG audit, so the fair-play testing you would get at a UK site is absent.
The drawbacks are significant and worth stating plainly. It carries an active LCB warning for refusing to resolve disputes, which is the single most important fact about it. Its Curacao licence lapsed in December 2025 and shows "assessment in progress," with Anjouan as cover, so its regulatory status is uncertain. Its terms and the register name different operators, OnyxioN and GTW. It publishes no RNG audit, and there is no UK protection behind your funds. The scale and the exclusive games are real positives, but the combination of a live warning and a lapsed licence is why I rank it on size rather than on a clean record, and why I would treat it with more caution than its Trustpilot score alone suggests. As across this category, and relevant given the warning, some reports mention delays on larger amounts, including a very large case still unresolved, with no UK regulator to set a timeline.
MyStake is not an independent brand. It is operated by GTW, the same company behind Donbet, while a related operator, Santeda, runs Rolletto, Velobet, Cosmobet and GoldenBet on my shortlist. Most of the sites I rank in this space belong to two connected companies, and both hold Curacao licences currently marked "assessment in progress" after they lapsed in December 2025. If the regulator refuses those licences, several of these sites could be affected at once. I state this on every review in the group, because a ranking that hides shared ownership is not a ranking. MyStake's own terms also name OnyxioN as the operator while the register lists GTW, an unresolved discrepancy.
MyStake has no GamStop, so if self-exclusion is something you have used or need, this is not the site for you. Free, confidential help:
