Choose the regulator named in the casino’s footer, open its official register and tick off what you matched. The tool sends you to the regulator’s own site; it never says whether a casino is good or bad.
Nothing you choose here is stored or sent anywhere. 18+ only.
| Regulator | What you can check |
|---|---|
| UK Gambling Commission | Public Register of businesses with operating licences, personal licences and premises licences. |
| Malta Gaming Authority | Licensee Register, searchable by licensee name, authorisation status, URL or gaming service. |
| Spain (DGOJ) | Operator search by name or website, with a filter for licence type and a list of each operator’s domains. |
| Curaçao Gaming Authority | Operator seals should link to a certificate page at cert.cga.cw showing the exact domain, the licensed operator and the current licence status. |
| Gaming Commission of Ghana | “Our Licensed Operators” list with trade name, type of operation (including online sports betting, online casino and remote interactive games), issue date and expiry date. |
A real check compares four things: the company name, the website address, the licence type and an active status. Our five-step licence guide explains each step and the red flags, such as a licence logo with no company name or number, or a seal that leads to a certificate for another domain.
A matching entry means a regulator can hold the operator to account. It does not guarantee payouts, fair bonus terms or that gambling is legal where you live. If online gambling is banned in your country, no licence changes that. Check your country in the Regulation Tracker.
💡 What this means for players: run the check before your first deposit and again if the site changes its name or domain. Save the register page or a screenshot in case you need to show it to the regulator.
You choose the regulator named in the casino's footer and open that regulator's own register. The page shows what to match there: company name, website, status, licence type and dates. It does not store or send anything you enter.
No. It guides you to the official register. A matching entry means a regulator can hold the operator to account. It says nothing about fair bonus terms or payout speed.
Find that regulator's own website and look for a public register or certificate page. If there is none you can open yourself, treat the licence claim as unverified.
No. A licence is issued by one jurisdiction and does not override the law where you live. If online gambling is banned where you live, no licence makes it legal.
