Clarifying Our Editorial Policy on Non-Gamstop Gambling Content

In response to recent questions around the presence of non-Gamstop casino content on our platform, HIPTHER would like to clarify its editorial stance. While such articles were accepted as part of past collaborations, we do not endorse gambling among self-excluded individuals, and these posts do not reflect our future publishing direction. As a global B2B media company, our commitment remains firmly rooted in ethical content, industry transparency, and responsible gambling advocacy.
A Note on Our Editorial Policy Regarding Non-Gamstop Content
Recently, we published a limited number of articles that referenced non-Gamstop casinos — platforms operating outside the UK’s regulatory framework. While these were accepted as part of wider editorial collaborations, we want to clarify our stance.
HIPTHER does not promote gambling to individuals under self-exclusion, nor is our target audience UK-based players. We are a global B2B media organization covering international markets and industry developments.
That said, we recognize the sensitivity around content related to non-UKGC platforms — particularly in the context of responsible gambling. We’ve reviewed the matter internally and have decided:
✅ We will not be publishing similar content in the future.
✅ We will be updating any existing articles with clear disclaimers and responsible gambling resources.
✅ We remain committed to ethical coverage and transparency in everything we publish.
Our focus continues to be on highlighting innovation, regulation, and forward-thinking trends in the gaming industry — across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Player safety matters, and we believe media has a role to play in setting higher standards.

The HIPTHER Editorial Team
We Welcome Dialogue
We remain open to feedback and collaboration with partners, readers, and stakeholders who share our values around ethical industry coverage and player protection. For comments or inquiries, please contact us.
