Dr Slot Sister Sites

Short version: Dr Slot no longer runs as a UK casino, and neither do its sister sites. It was never a standalone company on its own licence — it was one brand in a large stable run by a single Midlands operator, and when that operator lost its Gambling Commission permission in 2023, the whole family went dark at once. So yes, Dr Slot had genuine sisters. The more useful thing to know now is what happened to them, and why almost any “Dr Slot” you see taking sign-ups today is not the original.

Who actually ran Dr Slot

Dr Slot was a trading name of In Touch Games Limited, a Birmingham-based operator listed as account number 2091 on the Gambling Commission's public register. In Touch Games had held remote casino, bingo and gambling-software licences since December 2010, and it built a row of small, mobile-first brands under that one permission — pay-by-phone deposits, its own in-house slots, the lot. Dr Slot was one of them, not a separate business.

The company's problem was compliance, not popularity. It was penalised repeatedly — a £2.2m settlement in 2019, a £3.4m penalty in 2021 and a £6.1m penalty in early 2023, all recorded in the Commission's public statement — over anti-money-laundering and player-protection failings. After a further round of concerns the Commission moved to suspend its licences, and rather than contest that, In Touch Games surrendered all three on 4 September 2023 (the enforcement notice records the operating licence as reference 002091-R-104264-033). That surrender date is the one that matters: it is when Dr Slot and every brand beside it stopped being legal to play in Britain.

Dr Slot's sister sites

Because they all sat on the same In Touch Games licence, Dr Slot's sisters are easy to name and easy to verify — they were simply the other trading names on account 2091, every one of them listed on the Commission's domain-names register for that account. These are the brands the Commission itself listed when it took action:

Notice what this list is not. It isn't the “similar casinos you might like” grid you'll find on a lot of affiliate pages. Names like Goldy Bingo or Bingo Fabulous get tagged as Dr Slot sisters online, but they were never on the same licence — they're look-alikes, not relatives. A real sister shares the operator, and Dr Slot's only operator was In Touch Games.

Did any of them come back?

A few did, under new ownership. mFortune, PocketWin and Jammy Monkey were later relaunched by a separate operator, Viral Interactive Limited, on its own Gambling Commission licence. That didn't hold either — Viral Interactive surrendered its UK licence in late 2024, and those brands went offline again. Dr Slot itself was never among the brands anyone revived. It has stayed shut the whole time.

The “Dr Slot” sites you'll see today

Search the name now and you'll still land on pages dressed up as a live Dr Slot casino, some of them happily taking UK registrations. Treat those with real caution. The original drslot.co.uk ran on the In Touch Games licence, and that licence is gone, so anything trading under the Dr Slot name today is not operating on the permission the original once held. Some are straightforward copycats, built around a name people still remember and search for.

The check is simple. A UK-licensed casino shows a licence number and a link to its Gambling Commission register entry, normally in the footer. If a “Dr Slot” can't show you that, or the number doesn't resolve on the register, don't deposit and don't hand over any ID.

What to check before you sign up anywhere

• Find the operator, not the brand. Read the footer's “this site is operated by…” line, then look that company up on the Gambling Commission register. The brand name tells you little; the licensed company behind it is what counts.
• Confirm the licence is live. A surrendered or lapsed status — exactly what happened to In Touch Games — means no UK protection, however polished the site looks.
• Match the domain carefully. An extra word or a changed ending is the classic copycat move.
• Know your safety net. Genuinely licensed UK sites plug into deposit limits and the national online self-exclusion scheme. If gambling stops being fun, the National Gambling Helpline from GamCare is free on 0808 8020 133. You must be 18+ to play, and only ever stake money in £ you can afford to lose.

The honest verdict

Dr Slot is a closed chapter. It was a real, licensed UK casino once, run by In Touch Games alongside a shelf of sister brands, and it fell when that operator's licence was pulled for repeated failings in 2023. None of the stable survived under its original owner, and Dr Slot in particular never returned. If you're here because you played there years ago, the advice is short: the old account is gone, don't chase a look-alike using the name, and if you're choosing a new casino, check the operator on the register before you do anything else.
