Gala Casino is operated in Great Britain by LC International Limited under UK Gambling Commission account 54743, the single licence that also carries Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Bingo, Gala Spins, PartyCasino and both Foxy brands, making it one of 13 UK Entain sister sites in 2026.
The short answer
There are 7 Gala Casino sister sites: Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Bingo, PartyCasino, Gala Spins, Foxy Bingo and Foxy Games. All 7 Gala Casino sister sites are operated by Entain plc under licence 54743.
Compare all 7Searching for sites like Gala Casino and searching for Gala Casino alternatives are not quite the same question. Every brand on this page shares an operator with Gala Casino — they are Gala Casino sister casinos, not merely platforms like Gala Casino that happen to look similar. That distinction decides whether one welcome bonus, one self-exclusion and one KYC check cover all of them.
Pros
- Publishes 1x wagering — the lowest figure anywhere on this licence, matched only by Foxy Bingo, against 2x at Gala Bingo and Foxy Games and no published figure at all at Ladbrokes, Coral, PartyCasino and Gala Spins.
- Every promotion states its wagering, its maximum stake, its validity, its cap and its exclusions — the most complete offer disclosure in the network.
- The most casino-specific navigation of the eight: Roulette, Blackjack, Live, Jackpot Slots, Megaways and Slingo are each a top-level rail rather than a submenu.
Cons
- No welcome offer at all. A new player gets nothing here, while the same licence gives 200 free spins at PartyCasino and 100 at three other brands.
- The rewards are expensive to reach: £100 of live-casino spend buys a £10 bonus, and £50 of slots spend buys £5 in cash.
- Big Banker is flagged Exclusive here and also flagged Exclusive at Gala Spins, so the Exclusive badge describes the licence rather than the brand.
Gala Casino sister sites — the full network
Entain plc (UK Gambling Commission account 54743) operates 8 UK-facing brands including Gala Casino. The 7 Gala Casino sister sites below share that licence, and in most cases the same bonus mechanics — what changes between them is the price, the size of the offer and the product mix.
| Sister site | Welcome offer | Trust | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gala Spins | 100 Free Spinsmin Minimum first deposit £10, then spend £10 on slots | 37 | Review |

Similarity estimates how much of the same experience you get — shared licence, platform and bonus mechanics, less any product differences. A high similarity score is not an endorsement: a close copy of a weak casino is still a weak casino.
Each of the 7 sister sites of Gala Casino in detail — what it does differently, and who it actually suits.
Gala SpinsBest for the most forgiving welcome terms on the licence
Same family, and the lobbies prove it: Big Banker carries an Exclusive flag on both, which is a useful reminder that Exclusive on this licence means exclusive to Entain rather than to the site you are standing in. Gala Spins gives new players 100 free spins with seven days to claim. Gala Casino gives new players nothing, and pays regulars at 1x wagering instead.
- Welcome offer
- 100 Free Spins
- Min deposit
- Minimum first deposit £10, then spend £10 on slots
- Wagering
- Not stated on the promotional banner
PartyCasinoBest for the best spin count in the network
The two pure casinos on the licence, and their lobbies overlap directly — Golden Winner, Gold Cash Freespins and Fishin' Frenzy Lure Em In appear in both, and both carry a Goonies title. The split is the welcome. PartyCasino gives 200 free spins, the most on the licence; Gala Casino gives none, and puts the money into weekly rewards at 1x wagering instead.
- Welcome offer
- 200 Free Spins
- Min deposit
- Deposit within 30 days of registration, then bet £10 on selected slot games
- Wagering
- Not stated on the promotional banner
Gala BingoBest for bingo players who want the lowest wagering in the network
Same family, opposite products. Gala Bingo leads with live bingo rooms and a £40 bonus at 2x wagering; Gala Casino has no bingo at all, no welcome offer at all, and the most casino-specific rail set on the licence. Both pay into the same Gala Points loyalty currency.
- Welcome offer
- £40 bingo bonus
- Min deposit
- £10 first deposit, then £10 spent on bingo within 7 days of registration
- Wagering
- 2x
LadbrokesBest for a casino attached to a high-street bookmaker
Ladbrokes wraps its casino in a sportsbook with a shop estate behind it; Gala Casino has neither, and builds its navigation around casino categories instead — Roulette, Blackjack, Live, Jackpot Slots and Megaways are each a top-level rail. On offers they are opposites. Ladbrokes gives new players 100 free spins plus LadBucks; Gala Casino gives new players nothing at all and spends the budget on weekly rewards at 1x wagering.
- Welcome offer
- 100 Free Spins + 300 LadBucks
- Min deposit
- Deposit required, then spend £10 or more on slot games
- Wagering
- Not stated on the promotional banner
Foxy GamesBest for the widest claim window and a genuine choice of offer
Foxy Games gives new players a choice — £20 of bingo bonus at 2x, or 100 free spins — with thirty days on the bonus branch. Gala Casino gives new players nothing at all, and answers with the lowest published wagering on the licence at 1x, on a £10 bonus that takes £100 of live-casino spend to reach.
- Welcome offer
- £20 Bingo Bonus or 100 Free Spins — choose one
- Min deposit
- Deposit and spend £10
- Wagering
- 2x on the £20 bingo bonus; not stated for the 100 free spins
CoralBest for the clearest disclosure of the four
The two best-documented brands on the licence, documenting different things. Coral publishes its payment methods and a 4,500+ slot count; Gala Casino publishes the wagering, stake cap, validity and exclusions on every promotion it runs, including a 1x requirement Coral never states. Coral gives new players 100 free spins. Gala Casino gives them nothing.
- Welcome offer
- 100 Free Spins
- Min deposit
- Deposit required, then bet £10 or more on slot games
- Wagering
- Not stated on the promotional banner
Foxy BingoBest for seeing what a bingo room costs before you register
The only two brands on this licence that publish a 1x wagering requirement, and both attach it to a small ongoing reward rather than to a welcome offer. Gala Casino is casino-only with no bingo; Foxy Bingo is bingo-first and publishes its room pricing openly. Neither shows a new player a welcome bonus on the page.
- Welcome offer
- Bingo Booster — daily spend-and-get, revealed on opt-in
- Min deposit
- Not stated on the homepage banner
- Wagering
- 1x on the £0.50 bingo bonus branch
How we verified the Gala Casino sister sites
Most sites simply assert that two casinos are related. These are the signals we actually checked before calling these brands sister sites of Gala Casino, and what each one showed. The strongest of them is the shared UK Gambling Commission account 54743, which is a matter of public record rather than inference.
Sister-site verification
How we know Gala Casino shares an operator with these brands
Shared licence numberweight 40%
Every brand here is a trading name on UK Gambling Commission account 54743, held by LC International Limited. Not a shared parent — a shared licensee, which is the strongest form this evidence takes.
SourceSame platform fingerprintweight 15%
Two of these brands name their sibling in their own product, which is stronger than any inference. Gala Bingo and Gala Spins each carry a Gala / Gala Spins switcher on every page, and requesting /promotions at galaspins.com returns the Gala-branded promotions hub. Foxy Bingo and Foxy Games carry the same arrangement, with navigation identical down to the ordering, and Foxy Bingo's mobile slots rail is headed "powered by Foxy Games". Catalogue overlap corroborates it across the rest: Fishin' Frenzy variants, Big Bass Splash, Gold Cash Freespins, Golden Winner and a Goonies title recur across Ladbrokes, PartyCasino, Gala Casino, Gala Spins and Foxy Games. Two titles are even flagged "Exclusive" on more than one brand at once — Big Banker at Gala Casino and Gala Spins, Lock O' The Irish at Gala Spins and Foxy Games — so the badge describes the licence, not the site.
Identical T&C clausesweight 25%not established
Not established — a clause-level comparison of the eight full terms documents has not been done. The promotional terms do rhyme: Ladbrokes and Coral run identical welcome mechanics down to the £0.10 spin value and 48-hour acceptance window, and Gala Bingo and Foxy Games both state exactly 2x wagering on a bingo bonus. Suggestive, but a banner is not a terms comparison.
Shared payment processorweight 10%not established
Not established. Coral publishes a payment-methods list; the other seven publish none, so there is nothing to compare it against.
Shared support infrastructureweight 10%not established
Not established — support channels were not contacted and help-centre text was not compared.
All 7 Gala Casino sister sites reviewed
The Gala Casino sister sites are ordered by how similar each one is to Gala Casino — closest first.
Can you claim a bonus at every Gala Casino sister site?
Each brand advertises its own welcome offer, but the Gala Casino sister sites sit behind one licensee and one fraud-detection layer. Assume one welcome across the group unless a brand states otherwise.
| Sister site | Separate welcome? |
|---|---|
| Ladbrokes | Unlikely |
| Coral | Unlikely |
| Gala Bingo | Unlikely |
| PartyCasino | Unlikely |
| Gala Spins | Unlikely |
| Foxy Bingo | Unlikely |
| Foxy Games | Unlikely |
Same company, different deal
Shared ownership does not mean an identical deal. These are the places where the Gala Casino sister sites genuinely beat Gala Casino itself.
Where a sister site beats Gala Casino
PartyCasino — Welcome offer
200 free spins for a £10 bet on the same licence. Gala Casino advertises no welcome offer at all.
Foxy Games — Welcome offer
A choice of £20 bingo bonus at 2x or 100 free spins, with thirty days on the bonus. Gala Casino gives a new player nothing.
Coral — Catalogue transparency
Coral publishes a 4,500+ slot count and a full payment-methods list. Gala Casino publishes a New rail count of 60 and no total.
Foxy Bingo — Pre-signup pricing
Foxy Bingo shows live room pricing before registration. Gala Casino publishes no prices until you are inside.
Gala Casino vs its sister sites, head to head
Same operator, same licence, same platform — so the comparison comes down to the offer and the product mix. Each pairing below is scored on the same rubric, which is what makes them comparable at all.
| Matchup | Welcome offer | Trust |
|---|---|---|
| Gala Casino (this page) | No welcome offer advertised | 36 |
| Gala Casino vs Gala Spins | 100 Free Spins | 37 |
| Gala Casino vs PartyCasino | 200 Free Spins | 37 |
| Gala Casino vs Gala Bingo | £40 bingo bonus | 40 |
Gala Casino vs Gala Spins
Same family, and the lobbies prove it: Big Banker carries an Exclusive flag on both, which is a useful reminder that Exclusive on this licence means exclusive to Entain rather than to the site you are standing in. Gala Spins gives new players 100 free spins with seven days to claim. Gala Casino gives new players nothing, and pays regulars at 1x wagering instead. Gala Spins scores 37 to Gala Casino's 36, so on our rubric the sister brand is the stronger of the two. Similarity is 78%, so expect the same cashier and lobby either way.
Gala Casino vs PartyCasino
The two pure casinos on the licence, and their lobbies overlap directly — Golden Winner, Gold Cash Freespins and Fishin' Frenzy Lure Em In appear in both, and both carry a Goonies title. The split is the welcome. PartyCasino gives 200 free spins, the most on the licence; Gala Casino gives none, and puts the money into weekly rewards at 1x wagering instead. PartyCasino scores 37 to Gala Casino's 36, so on our rubric the sister brand is the stronger of the two. Similarity is 72%, so expect the same cashier and lobby either way.
Gala Casino vs Gala Bingo
Same family, opposite products. Gala Bingo leads with live bingo rooms and a £40 bonus at 2x wagering; Gala Casino has no bingo at all, no welcome offer at all, and the most casino-specific rail set on the licence. Both pay into the same Gala Points loyalty currency. Gala Bingo scores 40 to Gala Casino's 36, so on our rubric the sister brand is the stronger of the two. Similarity is 66%, so expect the same cashier and lobby either way.
Sites like Gala Casino: Gala Casino alternatives inside and outside the group
Gala Casino alternatives split into two groups, and conflating them is the mistake most lists make. The 7 brands above are Gala Casino sister casinos — Entain plc (UK Gambling Commission account 54743) runs every one of them, so the licence, the complaints process and the self-exclusion scope are shared.
Other platforms like Gala Casino — unrelated casinos with a comparable lobby or a similar offer — are a different proposition entirely. They give you a genuinely separate operator, which matters if your complaint with Gala Casino is with the company rather than the product. If you are looking for sites like Gala Casino because you want a fresh welcome bonus, the group brands above are the weaker bet: one licensee generally means one welcome offer.
Which Gala Casino sister site should you pick?
Three different answers, depending on what you are actually optimising for. All 7 Gala Casino sister sites clear the same licensing bar, so this is a question of fit rather than safety.
- If you want the closest thing to Gala Casino: Gala Spins, at 78% similarity — same platform, same lobby structure, different welcome offer.
- If you are choosing on trust rather than familiarity: Gala Bingo scores highest of the Gala Casino sister sites at 40/100, above Gala Casino's own 36.
- If you already have an account here: check the bonus table above before opening a second one. A separate welcome offer at another brand in this group is the exception, not the rule.
About Gala Casino
Gala Casino is a trading name on UK Gambling Commission account 54743, held by LC International Limited of Gibraltar — the same account number, the same licence number and the same licensee as Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Bingo, Gala Spins, PartyCasino, Foxy Bingo and Foxy Games. Fourteen active trading names and thirteen active domains sit on that one licence. When someone asks who owns Gala Casino, the register answers it directly, and it answers the sister-site question at the same time: these are not merely brands with a shared parent, they are trading names of one licensed company.
What makes Gala Casino unusual is what it does not do. Every other casino brand on this licence leads with a welcome offer — 100 free spins at Ladbrokes, Coral and Gala Spins, 200 at PartyCasino, a £40 bingo bonus at Gala Bingo. Gala Casino's promotions page, captured on 17 August 2026, has a single All Offers tab and lists five promotions, none of which is a welcome offer. Its homepage hero is not a sign-up bonus either; it is a free daily slots tournament paying cash prizes between £0.50 and £5.00.
In place of a welcome bonus it runs the most explicitly documented retention programme in the network. Live Casino Rewards pays a £10 bonus for £100 of weekly live-casino spend, and it publishes the terms most operators bury: 1x wagering, a maximum stake of £2, seven days' validity, one bonus per player per week, and the specific live variants excluded — sicbo, baccarat and poker. That 1x figure is the lowest published wagering requirement on the whole licence. Gala Bingo publishes 2x and is otherwise the most transparent brand here; Ladbrokes, Coral, PartyCasino and Gala Spins publish no wagering figure on their welcome banners at all.
The rest of the programme follows the same pattern of full disclosure attached to substantial qualifying spend. Get Your Weekend Reward pays £5 cash for £50 spent on selected slots between Friday and Sunday. The Guaranteed Rewards Wheel gives a daily spin for £20 of slots spend, paying between £0.50 and £50 in cash. Drops and Wins is a Pragmatic Play network promotion with a £350,000 weekly pool, paying free spins worth up to £1 each or bet multipliers. All of them are opt-in, all of them name their date ranges, and all of them cap what you can win.
As a product it is the purest casino on the licence. There is no sportsbook wrapped around it as at Ladbrokes and Coral, and no bingo attached as at Gala Bingo, Gala Spins and Foxy Bingo. The top navigation is Casino, Live Casino, Casino Tournaments, My Rewards and Safer Gambling, and the game rails are casino categories rather than product lines: Roulette, Blackjack, Live, Jackpot Slots, Megaways and Slingo each get their own rail. The lobby flags Big Banker as Exclusive, and it is worth knowing that Gala Spins flags the same title Exclusive too — on this licence, exclusive means exclusive to Entain, not to the brand you are standing in.
Four of the seven scored dimensions below sit at zero, and that is a statement about our evidence rather than about the casino. No cashier was reached, so withdrawal windows, limits and fees are unknown. No support channel was contacted, so response times are unmeasured. What is scored is scored from primary sources: the licence off the register, the offers off the promotions page, the lobby off the capture, and a complaint record that consists of a £17m regulatory settlement against this licensee in August 2022.

Games at Gala Casino
A casino without a sportsbook or a bingo hall attached — the rails are casino categories rather than product lines, and there are more of them than any sibling on this licence offers.
Gala Casino organises its lobby into 7 categories: Slots, New, Exclusive, Live, Jackpot Slots, Megaways, Roulette & Blackjack. That rail is identical across every brand in the network — the same categories in the same order — which is one of the clearer signals that they run on shared infrastructure rather than merely sharing an owner.
Customer support at Gala Casino
| Channel | Availability | Response time |

| Help centre | Linked from the top navigation on every page | Not measured |
| Complaints / ADR | Mandatory under the GB licence | Not measured |
Support is advertised as Linked from the top navigation on every page, and the footer carries a 24/7 customer support badge alongside GamCare, IBAS and BetBlocker. We have not measured response times ourselves, so the score for support reflects what is advertised rather than what was experienced.

Safety, licensing and responsible gambling
Gala Casino is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission under account 54743, held by LC International Limited of Suite 6, Atlantic Suites, Gibraltar, GX11 1AA, on licence 054743-R-330863-014. The register lists "gala casino" as an active trading name and galacasino.com as an active domain against that account, which is how this page verifies the relationship rather than inferring it. That same licensee paid £14m of a £17m Gambling Commission settlement in August 2022, whose published findings include a customer blocked by Coral opening a Ladbrokes account and depositing £30,000 the same day.

Bonus fairness20% weight
50/100
The All Offers page carried no welcome offer at all when captured on 17 August 2026 — the only brand of the eight on this licence where that is true. What runs instead is a retention programme, and its terms are the most completely disclosed anywhere in the network: the Live Casino Rewards bonus states 1x wagering, a £2 maximum stake, seven-day validity, a one-per-week cap and the exact live-game types excluded. One times wagering is the lowest figure published anywhere on this licence, below Gala Bingo's and Foxy Games' 2x, and matched only by Foxy Bingo's £0.50 bingo bonus. The catch is what it costs to reach: £100 of live-casino spend for a £10 bonus, £50 of slots spend for a £5 cash reward, £20 for one spin of a wheel paying between £0.50 and £50. Scored mid-table on that split — best-in-network disclosure, steep qualifying spends, and nothing at all for a new player. (1 source)

The New rail publishes its own size as See All (60). Two flags are used that no sibling shows — Play It Here First on Action Boost Amber Island 2, Western Gold 3 and Gold Cash Freespins 2, and Jackpot Blitz on 3 Blazing Buffaloes. Not scored higher because no total catalogue figure is published anywhere, which Coral does. (1 source)

Gala Casino pros and cons
Pros
- Publishes 1x wagering — the lowest figure anywhere on this licence, matched only by Foxy Bingo, against 2x at Gala Bingo and Foxy Games and no published figure at all at Ladbrokes, Coral, PartyCasino and Gala Spins.
- Every promotion states its wagering, its maximum stake, its validity, its cap and its exclusions — the most complete offer disclosure in the network.
- The most casino-specific navigation of the eight: Roulette, Blackjack, Live, Jackpot Slots, Megaways and Slingo are each a top-level rail rather than a submenu.
- Publishes the size of its New rail as 60 titles, and flags genuinely early releases with Play It Here First.
Cons
- No welcome offer at all. A new player gets nothing here, while the same licence gives 200 free spins at PartyCasino and 100 at three other brands.
- The rewards are expensive to reach: £100 of live-casino spend buys a £10 bonus, and £50 of slots spend buys £5 in cash.
- Big Banker is flagged Exclusive here and also flagged Exclusive at Gala Spins, so the Exclusive badge describes the licence rather than the brand.
- The same licensee paid £14m of a £17m Gambling Commission settlement in August 2022.
What Gala Casino lacks
- A welcome offer of any kind — the only brand of the eight reviewed on this licence without one.
- Any published total game count, which Coral provides at 4,500 or more.
- Bingo, and any sportsbook — the product is casino only.
Common complaints about Gala Casino
Themes drawn from public review platforms and forums. These are paraphrased summaries of recurring patterns, not quotes, and they describe what players report rather than what we have verified.
A restriction at one brand not carrying to another
commonThe regulator's own finding, not a forum report. In the August 2022 enforcement notice the Commission recorded a customer blocked by Coral after spending £60,000 in twelve months who then opened a Ladbrokes account and deposited £30,000 in a single day — two brands on the same licence, held by the same company, and the restriction did not travel.
Gambling Commission enforcement announcement, 17 August 2022
Slow or absent affordability intervention
commonAlso from the 2022 notice. One customer deposited £742,000 over fourteen months without adequate source-of-funds checks. Another depositing £230,845 over eighteen months received a single chat interaction. A customer in social housing deposited £186,000 in six months.
Gambling Commission enforcement announcement, 17 August 2022
Bonus terms that differ sharply between sister brands
occasionalNot a regulatory finding — an observation from the captures. The same £10 qualifying spend buys 200 free spins at PartyCasino, 100 at Ladbrokes, Coral and Gala Spins, £40 of bingo bonus at 2x wagering at Gala Bingo, £20 at the same 2x at Foxy Games, and nothing at all at Gala Casino, which advertises no welcome offer. The claim windows diverge just as sharply: 48 hours at Ladbrokes and Coral, seven days at Gala Spins, thirty at Foxy Games. Players who assume sister brands run the same offer are routinely wrong here.
Welcome offers captured from a GB connection, 17 August 2026
Gala Casino Sister Sites — the verdict
Gala Casino is the odd one out on its own licence, and whether that suits you depends entirely on whether you are arriving or already here. A new player gets nothing: no welcome spins, no matched deposit, nothing on the All Offers page at all, while PartyCasino two doors down gives 200 free spins for a £10 bet on the same licence. A regular gets the most honestly documented rewards programme in the network — every offer stating its wagering, stake cap, validity and exclusions, at the lowest published wagering on account 54743 — and a casino whose navigation is built around casino games rather than bolted to a sportsbook. Take it as a second account rather than a first one, and read the qualifying spends before you assume the rewards are free.
On the network question specifically: the 7 Gala Casino sister sites rate probable on our fingerprint at 55/100, and the evidence behind that is set out above rather than asserted. Weigh the unmatched signals as carefully as the matched ones.
Gala Casino sister sites — FAQ
What are the Gala Casino sister sites?
Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Bingo, PartyCasino, Gala Spins, Foxy Bingo, Foxy Games — seven casino brands, all reviewed on this site. All of them are active trading names on UK Gambling Commission account 54743, held by LC International Limited, which means the same licence rather than merely the same owner. The register lists 14 active trading names and 13 active domains against that one account; the remainder are PartyPoker, bwin, Sportingbet and Gamebookers, which are poker and sportsbook products rather than casinos. Cheeky Bingo and Party Sports sit on the same licence but are listed Inactive.
Can I claim a welcome bonus at every Gala Casino sister site?
Assume one welcome offer across the licence rather than one per brand. All of these brands are the same licensee on the same licence, and single-welcome-per-licensee is the industry norm. This review has not tested it, so it does not claim otherwise — but if you only get one, choose deliberately, because the same £10 qualifying spend buys wildly different things here. PartyCasino gives 200 free spins. Ladbrokes, Coral and Gala Spins give 100. Gala Bingo gives £40 of bingo bonus at 2x wagering and Foxy Games gives £20 at the same 2x but with thirty days to use it. Gala Casino advertises no welcome offer at all.
If I self-exclude from Gala Casino, does it cover the sister sites?
Self-exclusion does. All of these brands sit on one GB licence and every UKGC licensee must integrate GamStop, so excluding at one blocks the estate. A commercial block is a different mechanism and this network is where the difference was proved: the Gambling Commission's August 2022 notice records a customer blocked by Coral who opened a Ladbrokes account and deposited £30,000 in a single day.
Who owns Gala Casino?
Entain plc, listed on the London Stock Exchange, through its Gibraltar subsidiary LC International Limited which holds the UK licence. Entain was renamed from GVC Holdings in December 2020; GVC had acquired Ladbrokes Coral Group in March 2018, which is how Ladbrokes, Coral and the Gala brands came onto the same licence as the Party and bwin brands.
Does Gala Casino have a welcome bonus?
Not when this page was researched. The All Offers page captured on 17 August 2026 listed five promotions — Live Casino Rewards, Get Your Weekend Reward, the Guaranteed Rewards Wheel, Drops and Wins and free daily slots tournaments — and none of them is a welcome offer. That makes it the only one of the eight casino brands on UK Gambling Commission account 54743 without one. Offers change, so check the site, but this is what was there.
Are Gala Casino and Gala Bingo the same company?
Yes. Both are active trading names on UK Gambling Commission account 54743, held by LC International Limited of Gibraltar, and the register lists galacasino.com and galabingo.com as active domains against that same account. They are also different products: Gala Bingo leads with bingo rooms and a £40 bingo bonus at 2x wagering, while Gala Casino has no bingo and no welcome offer at all.
What does the Exclusive badge mean at Gala Casino?
Less than it sounds. Big Banker carries an Exclusive flag in the Gala Casino lobby, and the same title carries an Exclusive flag at Gala Spins — a different brand on the same licence. The badge is best read as exclusive to Entain rather than exclusive to the site you are on, which matters if you are choosing between sister brands expecting different games.
