Casino licence checker: every brand we track, with its register entry

What the table shows

Each row is one brand. The operator is the company named in the brand's own terms or footer, because a licence is held by a company, not by a website name. The regulator is the authority that issued the licence, and the licence number is the reference we looked for. Where we found the entry on a public register, the number links to the register page or document we used, so you can repeat the search yourself. Some brands hold more than one licence, for example one for UK players and one for the rest of the world, and in that case each licence gets its own line.

The checked on column is the date we last looked. Registers change: licences are suspended, surrendered, revoked and renewed, and companies change names. Every status below is as of the date shown, not today. If a date looks old, treat the status as a starting point and check the register again before you deposit. Our guide to how to check a gambling licence walks through the steps, and it takes about five minutes.

The three statuses in plain words

• Verified on register. We found the operator company, and the licence number we list, on the regulator's own register or published licence list, and the entry matched what the brand says about itself.
• Claimed, not confirmed. The brand, or a third-party source, names a licence, but we could not match it end to end. Typical reasons: the register entry exists but we could not tie it to the brand's website, the register could not be loaded, the entry is still marked as under assessment, or the regulator is one whose register we did not check. A licence claim that is not confirmed is not the same as a false claim, and it is not the same as a confirmed licence either.
• No licence shown. We found no licence on the brand's site and no register entry for it. The licence number cell is left empty on purpose. We never fill a gap with a number we have not seen.
• Not checked yet. We could not read the brand's own website from where we work, so we make no claim either way about its licence. These rows are updated once we have read the site.

Of the 27 brands below, 11 are verified on a register, 12 are claimed but not confirmed, 1 shows no licence and 3 are not checked yet. The method behind these labels is on our how we rate page.

What a listing does and does not mean

A listing here is not a recommendation. We list brands we track so that you can see the licence facts in one place, including brands we have not reviewed and brands whose licence we could not confirm. A verified licence shows that a regulator authorised a company to offer gambling under its rules. It does not tell you how fast a casino pays, whether the bonus terms are fair, or whether the brand accepts players where you live. A review link appears only where we have published a full review.

Regulators are not equal. The licence types, the checks behind them and the way players can complain differ by authority, so read the guide for the regulator in question: UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao Gaming Authority and Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. A licence is also separate from a regulator's warning or enforcement lists, which record fines, revocations and blacklists. Our guide to regulator warning lists explains where to look, and it is worth doing as a second step after the licence check.
