About the UKGC Operator Register

The Gambling Commission maintains a public register of all current operating and personal management licence holders under the Gambling Act 2005. The register is the authoritative source for verifying whether an operator is licensed to provide gambling services to customers in Great Britain.

Operators are listed by their legal entity name and account number. Each operator may hold multiple operating licences covering different regulated activities — such as remote casino, remote betting, and remote bingo — each with a separate licence number. The full register contains over 3,000 entries across all licence types and categories, including land-based operators, software suppliers (B2B licences), and overseas operators serving GB customers.

Licence status reflects the position at the time of the last data snapshot. The UKGC updates the register continuously as new licences are issued, modified, suspended, surrendered, or revoked. For the most current status of any specific operator, consult the official Gambling Commission register directly at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.

How to Verify a Casino Licence

UKGC-licensed operators are required to display their account number and licence number in the footer of their website. To verify a licence: (1) locate the account number in the operator's footer; (2) search the official UKGC register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk or use the Licence Checker on this site; (3) confirm the trading name, licence type, and status match what the operator claims on their site.

A valid UKGC licence number for remote operations follows the format: XXXXX-R-XXXXXX-XXX. If an operator cannot provide a verifiable UKGC licence number, or if the number does not appear in the public register, do not deposit funds. Unlicensed operators offer no consumer protections under Great Britain's gambling regulations.

Licensed Operators — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if an online casino is UKGC-licensed?
UKGC-licensed operators are required to display their account number and licence number on their website — typically in the footer. You can cross-reference this against the official Gambling Commission public register (gamblingcommission.gov.uk) or use the Licence Checker on this site. A licence number takes the format XXXXX-R-XXXXXX-XXX for remote operations. Never deposit with an operator you cannot verify.
What is a UKGC remote casino licence?
A remote casino licence permits the holder to provide casino games — such as slots, roulette, blackjack, and poker — to customers in Great Britain via remote means (internet, mobile, or telephone). It is issued under the Gambling Act 2005 and is subject to the UKGC's Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). Separate licences cover sports betting (remote betting), bingo (remote bingo), and B2B software supply.
Can an operator hold multiple UKGC licences?
Yes. Large gambling groups often hold multiple operating licences covering different product verticals. For example, an operator may hold separate remote casino, remote betting, and remote bingo licences, each with different licence numbers, under the same parent account number. The account number identifies the licence holder entity, while each licence number identifies a specific regulated activity. When checking an operator, search by account number to see all associated licences.
What happens if an operator's UKGC licence is revoked or surrendered?
If a UKGC operating licence is revoked or surrendered, the operator must cease providing gambling services to Great Britain customers immediately. Revocation is an enforcement action imposed by the Commission; surrender is a voluntary act by the operator. In both cases, consumers should withdraw any balances immediately upon becoming aware of a licence ending — licensed operators are required to maintain customer fund protections, but recovery becomes more complex if the operator ceases trading.
Are licensed operators required to offer deposit limits and self-exclusion?
Yes. All UKGC-licensed operators are required by licence condition to offer customers tools including deposit limits, time limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion. They must also participate in GamStop — the national multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. Since September 2023, enhanced affordability checks were introduced, and operators are required to conduct enhanced due diligence on customers showing signs of financial stress from gambling.
