How the group is structured
White Hat Gaming Limited holds account 52894 and trades under 13 names in the UK. Hopa is one of them; Barz, Casimba, Dream Vegas, Grand Ivy, Jackpot Village, Karamba, Miami Dice, PlayGrand, Playzee, Slotnite, Spinland and Spinyoo are the others. To the Gambling Commission that is one licensee with one set of licence conditions, however many separate websites the customer sees.
This matters in one practical way: a decision made about your account at one of these 13 brands is made by the same company that runs the rest. Verification checks, source-of-funds requests and account restrictions are commonly applied across a licence rather than per brand.
How Hopa compares to its sister sites
All 13 brands on account 52894 answer to the same licensee, so the things set at licence level — complaints routing, funds protection, self-exclusion — are identical across them. What differs is set per brand: the welcome offer, the lobby, the payment methods on the cashier and the look of the site.
Is Hopa safe?
Hopa holds a current Gambling Commission licence under account 52894. That is the part you can verify yourself, and it is the part that matters: a UK licence brings segregated customer funds, a named alternative dispute resolution route, mandatory age verification and GAMSTOP participation.
What a licence does not tell you is how the operator behaves — how fast withdrawals clear, how it handles a disputed bonus, how heavy the verification is. That is worth reading reviews for. What we publish here is the record, not a score.
To check it yourself: open the Gambling Commission public register, search White Hat Gaming Limited, and confirm account 52894 lists Hopa as a trading name. It takes about thirty seconds and it is the only source that cannot be marketed at you.
How uniform is this group?
Unusually so. All 13 brands on account 52894 share a single registration — none of them holds a separate licence account, and none is listed under a different network. For a player that means the licence-level protections, the complaints route and the self-exclusion all behave identically whichever of the 13 you sign up to. What still differs is set per brand: the lobby, the welcome offer and the cashier.
Sites like Hopa
The closest alternatives are not a hand-picked list — they are the brands that share Hopa's licence. Same operator, same licence conditions, same complaints route, different site.
GAMSTOP and self-exclusion
Because Hopa is licensed by the Gambling Commission, a GAMSTOP self-exclusion blocks it. It also blocks every other brand on account 52894 and every other UK-licensed gambling site, in one registration.
This is the reason the "sister site" question matters to people who have self-excluded. You cannot get round GAMSTOP by moving to a sibling brand, and any site advertising itself as outside GAMSTOP is not UK-licensed. We do not list those, and we do not link to them.

Questions about Hopa
Is this a Hopa review?
Not in the usual sense. There is no score, no star rating and no ranking here, because we hold no data that would justify one. What this page is: the Gambling Commission licence record for Hopa, every other brand on the same account, and how to verify all of it yourself in about a minute. If you want an opinion on whether the games pay or the support is quick, read an actual review site — and check this page first to see which other brands that opinion quietly also applies to.
How many sister sites does Hopa have?
12, on Gambling Commission account 52894: Barz, Casimba, Dream Vegas, Grand Ivy, Jackpot Village, Karamba, Miami Dice, PlayGrand, Playzee, Slotnite, Spinland and Spinyoo.
Who owns Hopa?
Hopa is operated by White Hat Gaming Limited. The licensee is listed on Gambling Commission account 52894.
Is Hopa licensed in the UK?
Yes — account 52894 on the Gambling Commission register. We recheck every account on this site monthly; this one was last confirmed in September 2026.
Does GAMSTOP cover Hopa and its sister sites?
Yes. One GAMSTOP registration blocks Hopa and all 12 sister brands, plus every other UK-licensed site.
Can I claim the welcome bonus at Hopa and its sister sites?
Usually not. Operators normally write the welcome offer as one per customer across the whole licence, so claiming at several brands on account 52894 tends to breach the bonus terms rather than double your money.
If my account is closed at Hopa, can I use a sister site?
Often not. Account decisions are made by the licensee, not the brand, so a closure or restriction on account 52894 is commonly applied across every brand on it.
