TIA vs eCOGRA — which dispute body actually works in 2026?

[PuntingProfessor]

For non-UKGC operators, your dispute escalation options are TIA (The Independent Arbitrator) and eCOGRA. Practical experience: eCOGRA responds to disputes within 14-21 days and has historically sided with players in cases of bonus-term ambiguity. TIA has been slower to respond and more operator-friendly in disputed cases.

If you're choosing a non-GamStop operator for dispute-protection, the eCOGRA seal in the footer is the better signal.

+1. eCOGRA has the most credibility of any non-UKGC dispute body. Their public dispute database is also a useful reverse-research tool — search the operator name first.
