• THE REGULATOR NAMES TWO OF THE FOUR, AND ALL FOUR NAME THEMSELVES. The Curacao Gaming Authority runs a certificate portal that issues a Certificate of Operation per domain. The certificate for betmac3.com/en and the certificate for truststake1.com/en both read "is operated by Sefiarray B.V., a company incorporated under the laws of Curacao with Company Number 155219", under licence OGL/2024/842/0350. That is a regulator's record of common ownership, not an inference from shared software, and it is the only offshore network on this site established that way. Betti and CasinoWays carry no seal, but both print "operated by Sefiarray B.V.", the same company registration number and the same licence number in their own footers, and both serve the estate's robots.txt byte for byte.
• THE CONTROL TEST WAS RUN FIRST, BECAUSE THE LAST ONE WAS NOT. The 8 casinos advertised alongside Betmac on the same affiliate listing -- Odin Fortune, SlotRoyals, Mad Casino, Wildies, ShelbyWin, Daytona Spin, SpinFin, Totbet -- were fingerprinted identically. None of the eight serves the 685-byte Rails robots.txt. The signal is specific: it is carried by every brand in this network and by none of the eight controls, which is exactly the check the Curacao cluster did not get first time. The certificate seal is narrower still — only Betmac and TrustStake embed one, and Betti and CasinoWays do not, so the seal identifies brands rather than the estate.
• ONE COMPANY, ONE LICENCE NUMBER, TWO STORIES ABOUT IT — AND THE MINORITY IS RIGHT. Three of the four brands — Betmac, Betti and CasinoWays — present OGL/2024/842/0350 as a licence the company is operating under. The fourth, TrustStake, presents the same number as an application still in progress. The Curacao Gaming Authority's own registry, updated 14 October 2026, records the status as "Assessment in progress", which matches the one brand that is out of step with the other three. All four carry the same document otherwise.
• HOW THE ROSTER GREW FROM TWO TO FOUR, AND WHY FOUR IS STILL A FLOOR. The first version of this page carried two brands, because the estate was mapped through the affiliate programme hodl.partners, whose media library holds logo kits for exactly 3 brands and names only Betmac and TrustStake among them. Betti and CasinoWays are marketed elsewhere and never appear there. They were found by searching for the operator's name and then TESTED against the fingerprint before being added: both resolve to a numbered mirror on /en, both serve the 685-byte robots.txt byte for byte, and both print the operator, the company number and the licence number in their footers. Four is a floor, not a census. The regulator's certificate portal has no index, the licence registry lists companies rather than domains, and the operator's own robots.txt says "one image serves every brand" without saying how many brands that is. A fifth brand would be found the same way these two were: by name, then by fingerprint.
• FOUR BRANDS, FOUR DIFFERENT WELCOME OFFERS, ONE SET OF BONUS TERMS UNDERNEATH. Betmac 100% up to EUR 525; Betti 150% up to EUR 750, with x35 wagering stated on the page itself; CasinoWays "COSMIC WELCOME": 100% up to EUR 300; TrustStake EUR 5,000 and 300 free spins in the hero and on the promotions page; 100% up to EUR 525 and 100 free spins in the same page's FAQ. Only Betti prints its wagering requirement beside the offer. All four also run a promotion called Monday Reload, and each prices it differently — Betti at 50% up to EUR 200, TrustStake at EUR 100, Betmac and CasinoWays at no stated figure at all.
• HOW CLOSE THE COPIES ARE, MEASURED. Each brand's terms and bonus terms were compared line by line against Betmac's after normalising brand name and domain. truststake: 69 differing lines in the terms, 34 in the bonus terms; betti: 69 differing lines in the terms, 34 in the bonus terms; casinoways: 15 differing lines in the terms, 22 in the bonus terms. CasinoWays is the least independently drafted gambling site reviewed anywhere on this site: fifteen lines of difference in a document of 860.
• A GB CAPTURE OF ALL FOUR, AND THE ONE CLAIM IT KILLED. Every brand was rendered through a British exit on 20 October 2026 — homepage, promotions, casino lobby and mobile. They are one product in four colourways: the same left navigation, the same payment strip of six marks ending in CoinsPaid, the same Recent Winners rail priced in euros, the same six category rails. And no sports product on any of them, on desktop or mobile, although Betti's page title reads "Sportsbook & Casino Online" and TrustStake's copy advertises sports betting. Both claims are reported on those pages as claims the capture does not support. Lobby depth is the one real difference: filling the same eight Megaways tiles, TrustStake uses eight distinct games, CasinoWays four and Betmac three.
• THE TWO REGULATOR RECORDS DIFFER ON STATUS, NOT ON DATES — AND AN EARLIER VERSION OF THIS PAGE GOT THAT WRONG. The certificate portal gives a grant date of 25/07/2025 and a status of Active; the current registry gives 25 January 2026 to 25 July 2026 and "Assessment in progress". Those dates look contradictory and are not: the 17 November 2025 edition of the same registry carries this licence at row 202 reading "July 25, 2025" to "January 25, 2026", which is exactly the portal's grant date. The licence runs in six-month windows and has been renewed once, so the portal shows the original grant and the registry the current window. What genuinely differs is the STATUS, and the fact that the current window's own expiry date passed on 25 July 2026.
• AND THAT STATUS IS NOT A SCANDAL -- IT IS THE REGIME. "Assessment in progress" is the most common entry in the whole register: 294 of 601 rows, against 208 Indefinite, 58 Expired, 49 Revoked and exactly 1 marked Active. Curacao replaced its master-and-sublicence system with the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (Landsverordening op de kansspelen, P.B. 2024, no. 157) and most of the estate is still being assessed under it. The finding on this page is the CONTRADICTION between two sister sites, not the status itself.
• THE OPERATOR'S OWN ENGINEERS DESCRIBE THE NETWORK, IN A FILE ANYONE CAN READ. Both brands serve a byte-identical 685-byte robots.txt (MD5 36e4b387b9462d16a0b8fc8f720cabeb) from a Ruby on Rails (ActionDispatch::Static) application, and its comment block was never stripped. It reads: "No Sitemap: line — one image serves every brand, so it could only ever name the right host for one of them. Sitemaps are submitted per brand in Search Console." A second comment explains the geo-filter: "Keep it static: RobotsTxtController inherits block_states, and a geo-flagged crawler would get the "not available in your location" HTML page in place of robots.txt." Both brands answer on a numbered mirror of their headline domain — betmac.com serves www.betmac3.com/en, truststake.com serves www.truststake1.com/en — and both put the locale in the path the same way.
• THE TERMS SAY "SISTER SITES" -- THE OPERATOR'S WORDS, NOT OURS. Both brands carry the clause word for word: "Any account opened by the user is specific to the brand or service for which it is created and does not extend to any sister sites or affiliated entities operated by the platform." It goes on: "The user also acknowledges that any self-exclusion or Time-out periods requested or imposed on one account do not automatically extend to accounts on other brands or sister sites." And, for anyone who closes an account to stop themselves playing: "the user understands that opening a new account on any sister sites operated by the platform will not be affected by the closure of the current account". TrustStake's responsible-gaming page repeats the point in plainer words. Neither site ever names the other brand.
• SELF-EXCLUSION DOES NOT TRAVEL, AND THERE IS A FEE AIMED AT PEOPLE WHO USE IT. The shared terms allow 50% of the total amount, on any withdrawal of EUR 10,000 or more pending on a self-excluded or timed-out account. A player who self-excludes with a large balance pending can be charged half of it. Set beside the clause above -- excluding yourself at one brand leaves the other open -- this is the most serious consumer finding on the licence, and it is identical on both sites.
• ONE DOCUMENT SET, MEASURED. Terms and Conditions: 69 of 860 lines differ; Bonus Terms and Conditions: 34 of 737 lines differ; Privacy Policy: 34 of 754 lines differ; Responsible Gaming: 161 of 709 lines differ. After normalising the brand name, most of what remains is the domain string. The responsible-gaming pages are the real exception and differ substantively: Betmac publishes a Responsible Gaming Statement and a ten-question self-assessment, and TrustStake publishes neither.
• NO SAFER-GAMBLING BODY IS NAMED ANYWHERE, ON EITHER SITE. GAMSTOP, GamCare, BeGambleAware, Gambling Therapy, Gamblers Anonymous were each searched for across both brands' terms, bonus terms, privacy policies and responsible-gaming pages. None appears. Neither brand names a dispute-resolution body or ADR scheme either, so a complaint the operator does not resolve has nowhere published to go. Tools offered are Deposit limits, daily, weekly or monthly; Time-out, set by contacting customer support; Self-exclusion, requested by email to support, with 24 hours before a limit increase takes effect; decreases may apply immediately.
• GREAT BRITAIN: WHAT IS ESTABLISHED, AND WHAT IS NOT. The United Kingdom is absent from the 37-entry restricted-country list in both brands' terms, and the registration form on both offers +44 among its dialling codes. Neither casino holds a Great Britain licence, and GAMSTOP is named nowhere on either site. NOT ESTABLISHED: Whether either casino actually serves a visitor connecting from Great Britain. Every request for this review left from Tbilisi, Georgia, and neither site was loaded from a British address. The restricted list is what the operator publishes, not a test of what the geo-filter does. The restricted list runs to 37 entries and is identical on both brands; it excludes the United Kingdom while including Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United States.
• THE MONEY TERMS, IDENTICAL ON BOTH. Minimum withdrawal EUR 100; caps of EUR 2,000 a day, EUR 6,000 a week, EUR 15,000 a month; maximum win EUR 50,000; identity checks triggered at EUR 2,000 in deposits or accumulated withdrawals; EUR 10 a month after 12 months of no activity, until the balance reaches zero. Bonuses run at 35x deposit plus bonus unless a specific offer says otherwise, convert to a maximum of EUR 5,000, and cap free-spin winnings at EUR 20 from shop and no-deposit free spins -- a fifth of the minimum a player is allowed to withdraw.
• THE BRAND IN THE AFFILIATE PROGRAMME THAT IS NOT A SISTER. hodl.partners is the affiliate programme that markets this estate; its media library holds official logo kits for exactly three brands (47 Hodl files, 17 Betmac, 16 TrustStake) and its marketing page is titled "Marketing materials for Betmac, Hodl and TrustStake". hodl.partners hosts official logo kits for exactly three brands — Hodl, Betmac and TrustStake — and its marketing-materials page is titled "Marketing materials for Betmac, Hodl and TrustStake". Hodl.com runs a different front end from the two casinos here: a Next.js application whose configuration names Hodlent (hodlent@hodlent.com) as the sender on its own mail, with no Sefiarray string anywhere, no Curacao Gaming Authority seal, and no robots.txt at all where the two casinos serve a byte-identical one. Nothing read connects Hodl to Sefiarray B.V. beyond the shared affiliate programme, so it is not listed as a sister brand on this site.
• HOW THE REGISTRY WAS READ, BECAUSE IT NEARLY WENT WRONG. A first extraction of the licence registry PDF returned company number 118819 for this licensee -- a column-alignment artefact of the extraction tool, not a figure in the document. Before any number from that table was used, the column mapping was control-tested: Ryker B.V. reads company registration 154186 in the same column, matching the number recorded independently for the Santeda review; Sefiarray reads 155219, matching both casinos' own footers. Only then was row 138 trusted.
• WHAT COULD NOT BE READ. Every request for this review left from Tbilisi, Georgia, so neither casino was loaded from a British address and no screenshot is published. No lobby was counted at either brand, no cashier was opened behind a login, no withdrawal was requested and no support ticket was raised. Betmac publishes no catalogue total at all; TrustStake publishes a figure and names no supplier behind it.
• UNVERIFIED: Whether either casino serves a visitor connecting from Great Britain. Nothing here was read from a British address; the restricted-country list is what the operator publishes, not a test of the geo-filter.
• UNVERIFIED: Hodl's operating company. The shared affiliate programme is established; a shared owner is not.
• UNVERIFIED: Any catalogue total for Betmac. TrustStake claims over 2,000 games; Betmac publishes no number, and no lobby was counted on either.
• UNVERIFIED: Every payout figure. No withdrawal was requested at either casino and no cashier was opened behind a login.
• UNVERIFIED: Support response times and hours. Both load a Zendesk widget; neither publishes hours, and no ticket was raised.
• UNVERIFIED: Whether the two brands share a wallet, KYC documents or a VIP tier. The terms say accounts do not carry across brands; nothing was tested.

• The smallest headline welcome on this licence: EUR 300, against EUR 525 at Betmac and EUR 750 at Betti.
• Cashbacks, reload bonuses, "Super Spins" and loyalty rewards are advertised alongside it and none is priced.
• Conversion from any bonus is capped at EUR 5,000.
• Free spins from the shop or a no-deposit offer pay out a maximum of EUR 20 from shop and no-deposit free spins, against a EUR 100 minimum withdrawal.
• No bonus code is reproduced on this site.

CasinoWays is the clearest demonstration on this site of what a white-label brand actually is. Its terms differ from Betmac's on fifteen lines in 860; it serves the identical robots.txt; it runs the identical platform, named Mangata in its own markup 392 times over; and it prints the same operator, company number and licence number in its footer. What it adds is a smaller offer — 100% up to EUR 300, the lowest of the four — and two things no sibling manages: a published slots total and a named live-casino supplier in Vivo Gaming. What it subtracts is the wagering requirement, which appears nowhere near the offer, and the licence number, which its own overview table reduces to the word "Curacao". Like Betmac and Betti it tells readers the company "is operating under" OGL/2024/842/0350, where the regulator's register says "Assessment in progress". For a British player there is no licence here, no GAMSTOP, no complaints route and no reason to prefer it to a Gambling Commission licensee — or, within the estate, to prefer it to Betti, which offers twice the bonus and tells you what it costs.

Network fingerprint for the 3 CasinoWays Casino sister sites: confirmed, 100/100.
