Start with the exact website
Note the domain in your address bar, the operator’s legal name and any licence account number shown in its terms. Search those details in the Gambling Commission register rather than relying on a copied badge.
- Check that the licence is currently active.
- Check the relevant remote casino activity, not just the existence of a company record.
- Match the exact domain and trading name, including any white-label relationship.
- Read regulatory actions and any conditions relevant to the activity.
Understand what the check establishes
An active licence is a regulatory requirement; it is not a promise that you will win or that every service experience will be good. The register also explains that domain and trading-name information is supplied by businesses.
Recheck the record before relying on it. A review, screenshot or cached search result can be out of date, and a similar-looking domain can belong to someone else.
Our geographic scope
Our UK casino coverage is aimed at adults in Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales, which is the Gambling Commission’s remit. Northern Ireland has a separate legal framework, so these checks are not a complete guide for every part of the UK.
