Blazespins review: Anjouan licence, no GB licence

Read the footer of Blaze Spins and you find the key fact for this Blazespins review: the site is operated by One Touch Exch Co Ltd and is licensed by the Anjouan Gaming Authority under licence ALSI-202506039-FI2. It holds no Gambling Commission licence, which means it is not permitted to offer gambling to people in Great Britain.

Blaze Spins runs slots and live dealer games. Its terms carry a restricted-countries list, and the United Kingdom is not on it, so the site can accept GB players. Leaving a country off that list is a commercial choice by the operator. It is not a licence, and it does not bring any of the GB rules with it.

Blazespins review: two licence lines compared

A GB-licensed casino states that it is "licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account number" followed by a number. That number opens an entry on the public register with the licence holder, its status, its activities and its domains. The Blaze Spins footer names Anjouan instead. The Commission's register has no account, trading name or domain containing "blaze".

Under the Gambling Act 2005, a site needs a Commission licence whenever its facilities are used in Great Britain, even if every server and every company is abroad. Providing them without one is an offence, and so is advertising them.

The rules that stop at the border

A player in Great Britain using Blaze Spins steps outside protections that every licensed site must give. GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion scheme, has no link to it. The £5 per spin slot limit, £2 for ages 18 to 24, does not apply. Bonus wagering has no 10x cap. Age and identity checks before play are not required by UK rules. If a withdrawal or a dispute goes badly, there is no approved ADR provider to turn to and no Commission to oversee the operator.

Already have a Blaze Spins account?

The first useful step is to stop adding money. A balance left on the site is held by an operator regulated in Anjouan, and the Commission's warnings about unlicensed sites include blocked payouts and withdrawal limits set too high to reach. Put any request to close the account in writing. GAMSTOP will not stop Blaze Spins, but registering still closes every licensed site at once. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free, around the clock.
