A store listing names a publisher, and that is the fact worth having

Why the publisher line is the fact worth having

A store listing has to name the company that published it. That name can be set beside the company on the licence certificate, and the comparison is the cheapest identity check available anywhere in this subject — one search on a phone against a column that is already filled in below.

All twelve operators compared on this site now carry a company name, and not one of those names came from the operator. Medium Rare N.V. behind Stake.com, Natural Nine B.V. behind Shuffle, Small House B.V. behind BC.Game, Raw Entertainment B.V. behind Roobet, Bull Gaming N.V. behind Rollbit, Liquid Entertainment N.V. behind Duelbits, Bets Entertainment N.V. behind Bets.io, Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. behind Cloudbet, GTW B.V. behind MyStake, Satoshi Gaming Group N.V. behind TrustDice, Universe B Games B.V. behind BetFury, and Latcas B.V. All twelve were read the same way and from the same kind of document — the certificate the issuing register serves against the operator's domain — ten of them on 26 August 2026 and Vave on 2 September 2026.

Five of those cells were blank until 4 September 2026, and the blank came from this index rather than from the brands. The column was filled from what an operator disclosed about itself, so an operator that names no company produced the same empty cell as a certificate nobody had opened. The certificates had the names the whole time.

For every one of the twelve, a store listing would either agree with the certificate or disagree with it, and both outcomes are informative. A brand can be trading under one company in its contract while its permit sits with another, which is not a hypothetical in this set: two documents, two company names is already the state of one row. For the five that publish no company anywhere a reader can see it, a store listing would be the first company name that brand ever hands over directly, which makes it the more valuable of the two searches, not the less.

What this index has on store listings: nothing

No store has been searched for this page, for any of the twelve. Neither the Apple listing nor the Google one has been opened, no publisher name has been recorded, no last-updated date has been captured, and no manifest has been fetched to establish whether a home-screen version exists. Twelve rows, two store columns, twenty-four empty cells.

That is written plainly because the alternative is worse. Pages answering this question tend to publish a confident yes or a confident no with no date attached, and both are guesses about a listing that changes without notice. A store entry can appear in one country and not another, be withdrawn in a week and return in a month, and be published by a company nobody expected. A claim about it is worth exactly the date beside it.

An empty cell here means the same thing it means everywhere on this site: a document nobody here has opened. It is not a zero and not a denial. Sixty-two of the hundred operators in the library behind these pages sit in that state on their territorial clause alone, and how we read explains why a blank enters no total and lifts no row.

Twelve rows, and the one column that is filled

Every name in that middle column came off a register certificate, and none off an operator's own pages. Five of those twelve names were missing until 4 September 2026, and the reason was on this side of the table: the column was filled from what an operator disclosed about itself rather than from the certificate the register serves against its domain, so five certificates that had been read were never written down here.

The filled column is the one that survives a change of device. Whatever a store shows this morning, the company on the certificate is the party the permit was issued to, and it is the name any approach to the issuer would have to be made against. Whether it is also the party named in the contract is a second question, and at least one row in this set answers it with a different company in each document.

What a reader can check in two minutes

Search the store for the brand name and read the publisher line rather than the icon. Compare that company with the one on the licence certificate, taking the twelve above as a starting point. Note the last-updated date, because a listing that has not moved in a year is a different proposition from one updated last week.

And treat the terms as the thing that governs, whichever surface the account is reached through. The verification clause behind Stake.com is 4.8; behind Shuffle it is 4.1; behind Cloudbet, 18.1.1; behind Bets.io, clause 5, with thirty calendar days to supply documents; behind Vave, 8.7, with fourteen days. None of those clauses changes because a shortcut sits on a home screen. Where the payout side of the same contract sits is set out in the four-brand comparison.

One brand, two products, and only one of them here

Stake.com is the crypto-currency casino and sportsbook, and everything above concerns it and the eleven operators compared against it.

A separate American operator trades under a similar name with a different product, a different company and a different set of rules. It is outside the scope of this site, and it has a page of its own rather than a paragraph here, because merging the two is the mistake this domain exists to avoid.

The counts these rows come from start at the operator table, and the same reading runs country by country through the United Kingdom and Canada.
