What is GamStop and where does Spacehills stand?
GamStop is a UK national self-exclusion scheme. Anyone listed there cannot use casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for six months or longer. UKGC-licensed sites are required to check the register at registration and deposit.
Spacehills Casino runs on an international licence. The site falls outside GamStop. We're not required to check the register. An international licence means a different legal framework, not the absence of rules.
Which licence does Spacehills Casino hold?
Our licence comes from an international regulator with strict requirements for fair play, financial soundness and player protection. Game RTPs are tested and the RNG is audited regularly. Player funds are held separately from operating funds.
The licence also imposes responsible-gambling duties. We have to offer limit tools, signpost help and protect players from problem gambling.
Advantages of an international casino
Game catalogue is often wider because we're not bound to the specific lists of UK operators. Bonuses are generally more attractive. Cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment method.
Deposit caps imposed by the regulator are also less restrictive. We still apply sensible internal limits, but the ceiling sits higher than at UKGC sites.
Downsides or risks?
You don't have access to the UK Gambling Commission as a dispute resolver. Conflicts go through the licensor's procedure. At Spacehills we run a low-friction complaints process and major disputes can go to recognised international dispute commissions.
If you actively self-excluded via GamStop because gambling stopped being fun, an international casino is not the right place. We recommend international self-exclusion tools or contacting support charities.
Cards, e-wallets and crypto
A common question is which payment methods an international casino accepts. Spacehills takes Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller and the leading cryptocurrencies. Read more on our page about payments at Spacehills Casino.
Crypto deposits and withdrawals are usually the fastest because they bypass intermediary banks. Read more about fast payouts.
Protecting personal data
Personal data at Spacehills is handled to international privacy standards. We only store what we need, use encrypted connections and don't share data without need or explicit consent. See our privacy policy for full details.
Comparison with UK operators
A UKGC licensee operates under strict rules. Lower maximum bonuses, restricted advertising, mandatory GamStop check, specific deposit limits. For many players that's a safe and familiar environment. For others, those rules feel restrictive.
Spacehills Casino sits between the two extremes. We offer the freedom of an international catalogue while keeping to the spirit of player protection common under UK rules.
Who is Spacehills for?
International licensing in practice
Spacehills suits players who actively choose a wider catalogue and more generous bonuses, and who take responsibility for playing sensibly. For people who once joined GamStop because gambling stopped being fun, this is not the right place.
We deliberately offer the same self-protection tools required under UK rules. Deposit limits, loss limits and session timers are two taps away. If play starts costing too much time or money, jump to responsible gambling for self-tests and help lines.
Our regulator requires annual audits of both game outcomes and financial processes. RTP figures are independently verified and published. Complaints that don't resolve internally can be brought before an international dispute commission that issues binding rulings.
