Luis Ortiz

As a Spanish electronic musician who releases experimental-minimal work under the name LOD through independent outlets such as the Kyoto-based nightcruising label and his own Sinergy Networks platform, Luis Ortiz clearly values creative freedom and a hands-on, do-it-yourself approach to his craft. That same independent spirit is easy to recognise in other areas of online entertainment, where many UK players now look beyond the country's main self-exclusion register when deciding where to enjoy a few games. A casino not on GamStop typically operates under a different licence and offers a broader, more flexible range of games for players who have made an informed, voluntary choice to play outside the scheme — though, as with any form of gambling, it should only ever be approached responsibly and within personal limits.
