Offshore gambling sites including MyStake hit by temporary outage as pressure on suppliers intensifies

Offshore gambling sites including MyStake hit by temporary outage as pressure on suppliers intensifies

Several popular offshore gambling sites went partially offline for hours over the weekend, with blank pages, missing game libraries, and error messages affecting brands including MyStake, Donbet, Rolletto, Goldenbet, Cosmobet, and Velobet. For high-risk operators and their PSPs, the point is not the outage itself; it is how quickly supplier pressure can turn into operational disruption.

  1. Users reported that access to a cluster of offshore brands broke over the weekend, with some sites showing blank pages or missing content while others returned error messages. The affected names included MyStake, Donbet, Rolletto, Goldenbet, Cosmobet, and Velobet.
  2. The outage was linked in a recent Next.io report to decisions made by software vendors. According to that report, several B2B slot developers have recently pulled away from supplying offshore operators as scrutiny has increased.
  3. The mechanism matters: instead of targeting only the operator brand, pressure is being applied to the businesses that keep the site running — content providers, payment processors, hosting service providers, and even video game manufacturers. If enough of those pieces disappear at once, the operator’s storefront starts to look surprisingly fragile.
  4. Jordan Lea, GAMRS group founder & CEO, said: “A major victory. MyStake is down on mobile in the UK and most of Europe. GAMRS has worked tirelessly to ensure this happens and will continue to do so.”
  5. Most of the affected websites were back online the next day, though not all previous offerings had returned. The network linked to MyStake has also continued to adapt by shifting licensing arrangements and corporate structures, with frequent branding changes and convoluted ownership used to stay active amid enforcement efforts.

For PSPs and acquiring teams, the takeaway is straightforward: offshore gambling operations can remain live even while parts of their supply chain are being cut off, but their dependency on third-party content and infrastructure is very real. That makes supplier due diligence, termination rights, and rapid offboarding procedures more than paperwork.
