UK Licensing Research

Who is actually licensed to operate the brand you're researching, and what official evidence supports that? This page separates three things that are often blurred together: the operator brand, the legal entity that holds the UK Gambling Commission account, and who owns the brand commercially. It shows the current regulatory records relevant to the specific casino and/or sportsbook product each operator's own website offers — not a complete mirror of every UK Gambling Commission licence a parent group holds. Each row links to the full evidence-led review.

Rows are generated directly from this site's own licensing data — not a live mirror of the Gambling Commission's public register. Every account shown was independently confirmed via the Commission's own register to hold BOTH an active trading name AND an active domain name matching the operator's actual reviewed website (never trading name alone); each operator's own review page explains any other current UKGC record we found for that brand and why it isn't shown here. Account numbers, activities and status were mechanically re-verified on 10 September 2026; always check the official record (linked on each row) for the current position. This is not legal advice, and a licence does not by itself indicate a quality or safety rating — see How We Rate for our full methodology.
