Seven lists out of thirty-eight

Seven schedules do most of the refusing, and a mid-table count is mostly them

Thirty-eight operators publish a territory list. Seven of them name more than 90 of the 122 countries covered here, and those seven account for 696 of the 1,139 refusals counted across the whole index. Eighty-three of the 122 countries are named by all seven at once, which is why a country's raw count says less than it looks.

Thirty-eight operators publish a list of the countries they refuse. Seven of the 38 do most of the refusing, and until you know that, every count on this site reads as more independent than it is.

Four documents, read separately: the company named on the licence certificate in the issuing register, the permit number and where it was read, how many countries the operator excludes in its own terms, and when identity documents are demanded. The company column comes from the register in every row, never from an operator's own pages. The country count is the length of a list the operator published, not our estimate of where it will accept you. An empty cell means the document was not read — it is not a zero, and it is not a permission.

The seven, measured two ways

Each of these clauses is longer than the 122 countries this index covers, because operators name territories, dependencies and legacy entities that fall outside the set. Both figures are printed for that reason.

Operator	Entries in the clause	Of the 122 countries
Oshi Casino	224	105
Mirax	220	103
Bitkingz	218	99
PlayAmo	217	96
7Bit Casino	216	102
Slotum	216	96
Bitdreams	216	95

Below them the column falls away sharply. Winz.io names 40 of the 122, CryptoLeo and Nine Casino 38 each, BitStarz 37. Then a long tail down to two operators at 2 and 1, and two lists that reach none of the 122 at all because their exclusions fall entirely outside this set.

So the 38 lists are not 38 comparable objects. Seven of them are three times longer than the next one down.

Seven of the 38 lists name more than 90 of the 122 countries each — Oshi Casino 105, Mirax 103, 7Bit Casino 102 — and those seven account for most of what a mid-table country scores.

Sixty-one per cent of all the refusing

Across 122 countries the 38 lists produce 1,139 individual refusals. Six hundred and ninety-six of those — 61 per cent — come from the seven above.

The concentration is sharper still when you look at how the seven behave together rather than separately.

How many of the seven name a country	Countries
all seven	83
six	12
five	8
between one and four	2
none	17

Eighty-three countries out of 122 are named by every one of the seven. Only two countries in the whole index split them meaningfully: Germany, where Oshi Casino names it and the other six do not, and Brazil, where two do and five do not.

That is not seven operators arriving independently at similar conclusions. It is a bloc.

Why the bloc exists

Six of the seven sit in two clusters that share a company behind the shopfront.

Oshi Casino, PlayAmo, Slotum and Bitkingz all name Novatrix SRL and all print the same Anjouan permit number. Mirax and 7Bit Casino both resolve to Scores55 Tech B.V. on a single Curaçao permit. Bitdreams stands alone, naming Hollycorn N.V.

Four brands drafting one clause and two brands drafting another is a perfectly normal way to run a portfolio, and it is not evidence of anything improper. What it does is break the arithmetic a reader is invited to do. A country named by six operators looks like six businesses independently declining to trade there. If four of the six are one company, the number of decisions behind that six is three.

This site prints the count as it is and prints this paragraph beside it, rather than adjusting the number, because a corrected count would need a rule for how much a shared company discounts a row, and there is no principled figure to use.

What that does to a country's number

Take three countries at the same rough level and the difference is entirely in who is doing the naming.

South Korea carries 7 refusals, and all seven come from the bloc. No operator outside it names the country at all. The count is one drafting decision reproduced across a portfolio, plus a second portfolio agreeing.

Germany carries 12, and only one of them comes from the bloc. The other 11 were written by operators who each looked at that market separately and each decided against it — a much stronger signal from a similar-looking number.

Australia carries 13 with none of them from the bloc at all. Every one of those refusals is a specific clause by a specific company.

The rule that falls out is short. A high count built out of the seven tells you about the seven. A count built without them tells you about the market.

The median country in this index carries 8 refusals and the mean sits at 9.3. Six countries carry 20 or more, 42 sit between 10 and 19, 67 between 1 and 9, and seven end at zero. One question, 122 different answers.

Where the seven stop

Seventeen of the 122 countries go unnamed by all seven long lists.

Ten of the 17 still carry refusals, and they carry them from elsewhere entirely: Australia at 13, Malta at 9, Austria at 6, the United Arab Emirates at 4, then Denmark, Slovenia and Kazakhstan at 2 apiece and Finland, Italy and Switzerland at 1. Those counts were built one clause at a time.

The remaining seven sit at zero across all 38 lists read, and a zero on this site has a narrow and precise meaning that is set out where it belongs, on the count behind every shortlist. It describes 38 documents on one reading. It says nothing about the 62 that stayed shut, nothing about the payment side, and nothing about a clause amended tomorrow.

Reading a long clause without over-reading it

A long list is evidence of disclosure before it is evidence of anything else. An operator that writes 224 entries has handed a reader 224 answers, each one checkable line by line. An operator that writes one has handed over one, and the shortest cells in this index are frequently pointers to schedules held somewhere the reading never reached.

Length is also not hostility. None of these seven clauses says anything about what a reader may lawfully do; they say where seven companies, or three, have decided not to trade.

And length is not permanence. Every one of these documents is amendable without notice, and the counts above describe the copies that were opened.

Where the same seven clauses fall across one region, and what happens to a regional average when a bloc sits inside it, is worked through at the 38 lists read against 33 Asian countries. What the whole index does with a single country is at the count behind every Stake alternative shortlist.

Questions people actually type

Which operator publishes the longest list of restricted countries?

Oshi Casino, whose territorial clause runs to 224 entries, of which 105 fall inside the 122 countries this index covers. Mirax follows with 220 entries and 103 inside, then 7Bit Casino at 216 and 102, Bitkingz at 218 and 99, PlayAmo at 217 and 96, Slotum at 216 and 96, and Bitdreams at 216 and 95.

How much of a country's refusal count comes from those seven?

Sixty-one per cent of it, across the whole index. The 38 published lists produce 1,139 country-by-country refusals over 122 countries, and 696 of those come from the seven longest. For 83 of the 122 countries the seven are unanimous, so a country scoring 8 or 9 usually means the seven plus one or two others.

Why do seven separate operators produce nearly identical lists?

Because six of the seven sit in two clusters that share a company. Oshi Casino, PlayAmo, Slotum and Bitkingz all name Novatrix SRL and print the same Anjouan permit number. Mirax and 7Bit Casino both resolve to Scores55 Tech B.V. on one Curaçao permit. Seven lists in the column are closer to three drafting decisions, and a count that treats them as seven independent opinions overstates its own evidence.

Which countries do the seven long lists miss?

Seventeen of the 122 go unnamed by every one of the seven. Ten of those still carry refusals from other operators: Australia at 13, Malta at 9, Austria at 6, the United Arab Emirates at 4, Denmark, Slovenia and Kazakhstan at 2 apiece, and Finland, Italy and Switzerland at 1. Where a count is built entirely outside the seven, it was written by operators who each made a specific decision about that market.
