How to check a casino licence in four minutes

Any site can paste a regulator logo into its footer. A licence only counts if it appears in the regulator's public register, under the company that actually operates the site.

The four-minute check

  1. Find the operating company name and licence number in the site footer or terms.
  2. Open the regulator register directly - type the address yourself, do not click the footer badge.
  3. Search the licence number and confirm the company name matches exactly.
  4. Confirm the domain you are on is listed under that licence.
The register entry must name both the company and the domain.
The register entry must name both the company and the domain.

If the register does not name the exact domain you are playing on, treat the site as unlicensed.
