Before signing up at any online casino, you should verify it holds a valid UK Gambling Commission licence. Here's how.
Step 1: Check the Casino Footer
UKGC licensed operators must display their licence number in the footer of their website. Look for text such as "Licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission" with a licence number.
Step 2: Use the Public Register
Visit the Gambling Commission website at gamblingcommission.gov.uk. Use the public register or licence search to look up the operator by name or licence number. Confirm the licence is active and covers "remote casino" or "remote betting" as appropriate.
Step 3: Verify the Domain
Ensure the website you're on matches the domain registered with the licence. Scam sites sometimes copy branding of licensed operators.
