A Curacao-licensed casino explicitly marketed as 'non-Gamstop' with documented serious payout complaints and a very bad reputation rating
Visit Gambiva →Pros
- Extensive slot catalog, live casino, and sportsbook combined
Cons
- Explicitly markets as 'non-Gamstop' - deliberately positioned to let UK players bypass official self-exclusion
- Documented serious payout complaints and a GBP1,000 daily withdrawal cap
- Reports of accounts closed without reason
- At least one complaint marked unresolved due to the casino's non-cooperation
- Described by independent reviewers as having a 'very bad reputation rating'
- No locally regulated welcome bonus in Norway - offshore and unlicensed there
Our verdict
We want to be very direct about Gambiva: it explicitly markets itself as a 'non-Gamstop' site to let UK players bypass official self-exclusion protections, and independent coverage documents serious payout complaints, unexplained account closures, and an overall very bad reputation. Given this combination of a player-protection-circumventing marketing position and documented serious complaint history, we'd recommend strong caution with Gambiva and suggest players - especially those relying on Gamstop self-exclusion - avoid this operator entirely.
How we rated it
Sportsbook & casino (36%)4
Combines an extensive slot catalog, live casino, and sportsbook, but this offering sits behind serious documented reliability and reputation concerns.
Bonuses & value (18%)3
No locally regulated welcome bonus in Norway - a state monopoly market; elsewhere markets a three-tier welcome package up to EUR10,000, though this sits alongside a GBP1,000 daily withdrawal cap documented independently.
Support & reliability (18%)1
Independent coverage documents serious payout complaints, accounts closed without reason, at least one complaint marked unresolved due to the casino's non-cooperation, and an overall 'very bad reputation rating.'
Trust & licensing (27%)0.5
Explicitly markets itself as a 'non-Gamstop' site - deliberately positioned to let UK players bypass the official self-exclusion program, a serious player-protection concern in itself, separate from its Curacao licensing.

About Gambiva
Gambiva is a 2025-launched online casino operated by Softon Ltd under a Curacao Gaming Board licence. We want to name two serious concerns directly: it explicitly markets itself as a 'non-Gamstop' site, deliberately positioned to let UK players bypass the UK's official self-exclusion program - working against player protection rather than being a neutral market fact. Independent review coverage also documents serious payout complaints, a GBP1,000 daily withdrawal cap, accounts closed without reason, at least one complaint marked unresolved due to the casino's non-cooperation, and an overall 'very bad reputation rating.'
