Regulator • Great Britain

UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)

The UKGC regulates gambling in Great Britain. Licensed operators must meet strict standards on player protection, fairness, and transparency. Always verify a brand’s licence status on the official register before you join.

What the UKGC does

  • Licensing & supervision. Grants licences to operators and monitors compliance with rules and technical standards.
  • Player protection. Requires tools like deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion, plus clear terms and fair play.
  • Enforcement. Investigates breaches and can issue penalties or revoke licences.
  • Transparency. Publishes guidance and maintains a public licence register for players to check.

How to verify a casino’s licence

  1. Open the UKGC public register.
  2. Search for the operator name (or trading name) listed on the casino’s website.
  3. Check the licence status, permitted activities, trading names, and any regulatory action.
  4. Only proceed if the licence is active and matches the brand you intend to use.
