Mystake, a UK-facing crypto-casino network, went offline for roughly 20 hours over the weekend after several B2B game studios pulled their slots from the platform. The outage affected all seven brands under the network: Mystake, Goldenbet, Donbet, Velobet, Cosmobet, Freshbet, and Rolletto. These sites are operated by Curaçao-based Santeda International B.V.
What users saw
Players trying to access any of the network's casinos on Saturday and Sunday were met with error pages or spinning loaders. The blackout lasted from early Saturday morning until late Sunday evening, according to user reports on social media. Some players complained about being unable to withdraw funds during the outage, though it's unclear if any balances were affected.
Why the games disappeared
The outage was triggered when multiple B2B game studios decided to remove their slot titles from the network. The exact reason for the pullout hasn't been disclosed. It's possible the studios were reacting to compliance concerns or payment delays — neither Mystake nor Santeda has issued a public statement. The network relies on third-party content providers for its game library, so losing several studios at once effectively shut down the platform.
The Curaçao connection
All seven brands share a common operator license in Curaçao. Santeda International B.V. holds the master license for the network. Curaçao-licensed casinos have faced increased scrutiny from UK regulators, who warn that offshore operators targeting British players may be operating illegally. The UK Gambling Commission does not recognize Curaçao licenses, and several similar networks have been blacklisted or blocked by UK internet service providers in recent years.
The network came back online Sunday evening, but the underlying issue — the departure of key game studios — hasn't been resolved. Without those slots, Mystake's offering is significantly thinner. It's not clear whether the studios will return or if Santeda will find replacements. UK players, meanwhile, are left wondering whether their next deposit will be accessible when they want it.
