Aspers Stratford: from Westfield casino to Genting Casino Stratford
Available in GBAspers Stratford is no longer operating under the Aspers name. The venue at Westfield Stratford City is now Genting Casino Stratford. Genting’s current official venue page calls it “formerly Aspers Casino Westfield”, while Genting’s 2025 relaunch material says it acquired the casino from Aspers and relaunched it under the Genting brand. If you have found an older listing for Aspers Stratford, the practical task is to match that historical name to the current Genting venue rather than assume there are two separate casinos.

The current name is Genting Casino Stratford
Genting’s official page currently presents the property as Genting Casino Stratford at Westfield Stratford City in London. The same page explicitly says the venue was formerly Aspers Casino Westfield. That wording resolves the most common navigational question created by old search results: the former Aspers Stratford venue did not simply disappear from the location. Its current public identity is Genting.
This matters because search engines, map listings, archived reviews and older social posts can preserve the previous name for years. Someone searching for Aspers Stratford may therefore be looking for directions, opening information, a remembered poker room, or a review written before the ownership change. The correct current reference point is the Genting venue page.
What changed in 2025
Genting’s own relaunch announcement says Genting Casinos UK acquired the Stratford casino from former owners Aspers in 2025. The company then relaunched the site as Genting Casino Stratford, with its public relaunch activity taking place in summer 2025.
The transaction is a venue ownership and branding event. It should be described at that level. It does not imply that every business historically using the Aspers name was acquired by Genting, and it does not explain the separate history of Aspers Online. Newcastle, for example, followed a different ownership path. The broader Aspers venue history page separates those location-specific changes.

How to recognise the same Stratford venue in old and new references
The strongest continuity clue is the location. The current Genting page gives the venue as Westfield Stratford City, The Loft, Olympic Park, 312 Montfichet Road, London E20 1ET. Older material using Aspers Casino Westfield or Aspers Stratford can therefore be compared against the same Westfield setting.
The second clue is Genting’s own wording. Because the current site uses “formerly Aspers Casino Westfield”, readers do not need to infer the relationship from similar addresses or third-party directories. The present operator directly acknowledges the former identity.
When checking an old review, look at its date before transferring any detail to the current venue. Branding, offers, membership arrangements, food and drink options, gaming mix and house policies can change after an acquisition. The old article can be useful as historical context, but present-day visit information should come from the current Genting site.
Current venue details should come from Genting, not archived Aspers pages
The official Genting Casino Stratford page currently supplies practical visitor information such as the venue’s address, opening schedule, gaming categories and facilities. Those details belong to the current operator’s description and can change over time, so a visitor should use that page rather than a cached Aspers-era listing.
This is particularly important for anything operational: opening hours, entry requirements, events, poker schedules, food and drink service, parking arrangements or promotions. Even if an old Aspers review remains high in search results, it reflects a different brand period and may not describe the current experience accurately.
A useful rule for renamed venues
Use historical sources to understand what the venue used to be. Use the current operator’s official page to plan a present-day visit.
Do not confuse the Stratford rebrand with Aspers Online
A physical casino changing owner and name is separate from the status of a remote gambling website. The Stratford transaction concerns a land-based venue. It does not show that Aspers Online moved to Genting, reopened under Genting, or remained available to online players.
That distinction is important because the same Aspers brand name appeared in both land-based and online contexts. Our Aspers online status page deals with the remote product using the relevant online operator and licence records. This page deals only with the Stratford premises and its present identity.
Why old Aspers Stratford search results still appear
Renamed venues leave a long digital trail. Reviews, event announcements, directory pages and user bookmarks created before the Genting acquisition can continue to use Aspers Stratford or Aspers Casino Westfield even after the official branding changes. Their presence in search results does not mean the Aspers name is still the current venue identity.
The date of a source is therefore part of the answer. A pre-acquisition page may accurately describe the venue as it was at the time, while a post-relaunch official Genting page describes the current business. When two pages use different names for the same Westfield location, the current operator page should control any present-tense statement.

A quick verification check before you travel
If you are using an old Aspers Stratford reference to plan a visit, confirm three details on the current official page: the Genting Casino Stratford name, the Westfield Stratford City address and the latest opening or entry information. That check is more reliable than following an old phone number, promotion or membership instruction copied into an archived review.
The same approach is useful for reviews. Treat comments about atmosphere, layout or a particular event as observations from their publication date, not permanent facts. Ownership changes can affect staffing, facilities, loyalty schemes and operating policies, so current practical details should always be rechecked at source.
How to interpret older Aspers Stratford references after the name change
Older references to Aspers Stratford remain useful when they are read as dated records of the same physical location. A review, event listing or directory entry written before the Genting transition can accurately describe the venue under its former name. The problem appears only when that historical label is carried forward as though it were still the current trading identity.
The most reliable way to reconcile old and new material is to anchor both names to the Westfield Stratford City location and then give priority to the current operator for present-tense information. That approach explains why a person can recognise the casino from an older Aspers reference while still needing to look for Genting Casino Stratford today. It also avoids the opposite mistake of treating every old Aspers mention as incorrect simply because the branding has changed.
Practical details deserve a fresh check after an ownership or brand transition. Opening hours, entry requirements, promotions, loyalty arrangements, contact information and event schedules are all operational details rather than permanent features of the building. A historical review can describe what a visitor experienced at the time, but it should not be used as the current authority for those details once the venue is operated under a different name.
Reviews also become easier to interpret when the venue identity is fixed first. A comment about service, atmosphere or facilities can still be informative as a dated customer experience, while its references to the Aspers brand belong to the period in which it was written. A reader looking for the present venue should separate that historical experience from the current Genting identity rather than blending the two into one undated description.
Finally, the Stratford story should stay separate from the former Aspers online casino. The physical location changed ownership and name; the online product has its own closure, rebrand and regulatory history. The shared Aspers name is a historical connection, not evidence that one transition caused or replaced the other. Keeping those tracks separate gives a clearer answer to the practical question behind most Stratford searches: the former Aspers venue is the same location readers now need to identify as Genting Casino Stratford.
For someone arriving from an old search result, the naming sequence is therefore straightforward: treat Aspers Stratford as the former identity, match the location to Westfield Stratford City, and use Genting Casino Stratford for present-day venue information. This preserves the historical link without carrying old operating details into the current period.
Finding the former Aspers Stratford under its current Genting name
If an old bookmark, review or search result sends you looking for Aspers Stratford, search for Genting Casino Stratford instead and verify the Westfield Stratford City address on the current official page. Genting itself identifies the property as the former Aspers Casino Westfield, so the link between the historical and current names is direct rather than speculative.
For broader context, the UK venue overview explains why Stratford should be treated as one location-specific transition rather than evidence about every former Aspers casino. The practical takeaway is simple: Aspers is the historical Stratford name; Genting Casino Stratford is the current one.
