FafaBet is gone — and it never had sister sites
FafaBet stopped taking UK customers on 1 October 2025, three months after the Gambling Commission fined its owner, Taichi Tech Ltd, £170,000 over unfair bonus terms. Taichi Tech held licence 57385 for that single brand, so no sibling casinos ever existed — whatever the copycat domains now wearing the name may imply. This page is our desk's short record of the shutdown and of the four casinos former players actually moved to.
On watch: fafabet.com, fafabet.bet, fafabet.org.uk, fafabet1.com and fafabet-casino.uk are all trading on the closed brand's name without a Gambling Commission licence. None is connected to the FafaBet that operated under licence 57385 — how to verify that yourself is covered in the FAQ below.
Where players went next: four casinos on our board
Selected on editorial grounds alone — none of the four below has ever shared an owner, a licence or a platform with FafaBet, and a seat on this board is not for sale to any operator. Scoring criteria are published in our editorial standards.
Figures and licence statuses on this board re-verified by the desk: 2 July 2026. Bonuses move without warning — the binding copy is whichever terms page the operator serves today.

The questions still coming in
On 3 July 2025 the Gambling Commission fined operator Taichi Tech Ltd £170,000 (regulatory action 267) over bonus terms that claimed sweeping rights to shut accounts and withhold winnings, and it ordered an independent audit of the firm's anti-money-laundering and safer-gambling controls. On 1 October 2025 fafabet.co.uk stopped registering new customers, and the brand never reopened. Checked: 2 July 2026.
No. Taichi Tech Ltd operated exactly one brand under UK Gambling Commission licence 57385 — FafaBet itself. Any page presenting a list of "FafaBet sisters" is describing casinos with no corporate relationship to the brand. The four picks on this page are editorial selections, published as the places former players moved to, not as relatives of a company that had none.
Treat it — and lookalikes such as fafabet.bet, fafabet.org.uk, fafabet1.com and fafabet-casino.uk — with real caution. These domains present themselves as a 2026 revival of the brand, yet none appears on the Gambling Commission's public register and none is connected to the closed UK operation. You can check any operator's licence yourself in the Commission's public register. Checked: 2 July 2026.
Yes. While its licence was active, FafaBet participated in GamStop, the free self-exclusion scheme that covers every operator holding a British-market Gambling Commission licence. The scheme only ever extends to those licensees, so Curaçao-licensed casinos — including the four featured on this page — sit outside it. If you use GamStop, please read our safer-gambling page before going any further.
The published windows have closed: balance withdrawals ran through customer support until 31 October 2025, with a final deadline of 30 November 2025. If you missed both, gather your account statements and any support correspondence, then follow the Gambling Commission's guidance for customers of failed gambling businesses; your bank may also advise whether any dispute route applies to recent deposits. We will not pretend the odds are good this long after the deadlines — but organised paperwork gives you the best remaining chance.
