UKGC Operator Record
BGO Entertainment Ltd
BGO Casino (BGO Entertainment Ltd) currently holds an active licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission under account number 45814. The licence — number 45814-R-319527-001 — covers remote casino operations in Great Britain and was first issued on 2016-08-02.
UKGC operating licences are issued under the Gambling Act 2005 and remain subject to the Commission's Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). Licence holders must meet ongoing obligations across three core areas: social responsibility (protecting customers from gambling-related harm), anti-money laundering controls (preventing the proceeds of crime entering the gambling system), and technical standards (ensuring games are fair, transparent, and function as described).
The UKGC maintains the right to review, suspend, or revoke any operating licence where it finds that a licence holder no longer meets the standards required to hold a licence, or has breached licence conditions. The Commission has not recorded any enforcement actions against this operator in this database.
BGO Casino has held its current UKGC operating licence since 2016-08-02, operating under the legal entity BGO Entertainment Ltd. The operator trades as an independent brand within the UK regulated gambling market, with no group-level parent entity listed against this account.
The UKGC account number 45814 is the unique identifier assigned to BGO Entertainment Ltd. This number is required to appear on the operator's website — typically in the footer alongside the Gambling Commission's white and yellow logo — and can be used to verify the current licence status directly via the Commission's public register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk. Operators that display an account number that does not match an active licence entry in the register are not legally authorised to accept GB customers.
Remote operating licences — such as that held by BGO Casino — cover gambling conducted via the internet, mobile applications, and other remote means. This is distinct from a land-based or betting shop licence and carries its own set of technical standards, including requirements around the fairness and auditability of random number generators, system availability, and the security of customer account and payment data. UKGC technical standards for remote systems are published by the Commission and form part of the licence conditions that BGO Casino must demonstrate compliance with on an ongoing basis.

No enforcement actions on record
This database does not contain any enforcement actions against BGO Casino. The Gambling Commission's public enforcement records are updated as decisions are published — a clean record in this database does not guarantee that no proceedings are ongoing.
All UKGC-licensed operators, including BGO Casino, must comply with the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) — the regulatory framework that governs how licensed operators must conduct their businesses. The LCCP is divided into ordinary licence conditions (legally binding), social responsibility codes (legally binding), and ordinary codes (best-practice guidance).
Key LCCP obligations include maintaining formal policies for identifying customers at risk of gambling-related harm, providing access to self-exclusion tools and responsible gambling resources, conducting enhanced customer due diligence (EDD) for high-value or high-risk customers, and implementing transaction monitoring systems to detect potential money laundering. Operators must also participate in GamStop and comply with technical standards set for remote gambling systems.
Annual compliance reporting and periodic licence reviews form part of the ongoing supervisory relationship between the UKGC and each licence holder. The Commission also conducts thematic reviews and enforcement investigations, particularly in areas such as VIP customer management, affordability assessments, and AML procedure effectiveness.
Customers of BGO Casino benefit from a range of statutory protections that apply to all UKGC-licensed operators and that do not exist on sites operating outside UK regulation. These protections are enforced through the LCCP as legally binding licence conditions, not voluntary commitments. Violations can result in licence suspension, revocation, or financial penalties payable to the Commission.
On the financial side, BGO Casino must comply with Licence Condition 4.2.1 on the protection of customer funds. The operator is required to declare which level of fund protection it applies — basic, medium, or high — and to make this visible to players. The distinction matters most in an insolvency scenario: at the basic level, funds may not be ringfenced; at higher levels, dedicated trust accounts or insurance arrangements provide greater protection for player balances.
For dispute resolution, players who exhaust BGO Casino's internal complaints procedure have the statutory right to escalate to an approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme at no cost. The ADR provider's decision is binding on the operator. Where a complaint relates to a potential LCCP breach — such as failure to identify problem gambling behaviour or inadequate AML controls — the matter can also be reported to the Gambling Commission directly. These escalation routes are formally separate: ADR addresses individual disputes; the UKGC addresses regulatory compliance. Both are legitimate and available to any customer of a licensed operator.
