Casino Licence Check
Enter a casino domain (for example, casino-x.com) or a company name — we search official regulator registers and show the licence number, status, expiry date and the operator’s other sites.

Why check a casino licence
A licence is the only thing separating a casino from an anonymous website that can vanish tomorrow along with your balance. A licensed operator has a legal entity, a regulator you can complain to, and obligations: verify players’ age, keep player funds separate from operating money, respond to payout disputes.
The catch is that a “licence” in a site’s footer is just a picture. Sites without a licence draw one too, as do those whose licence expired years ago. The only reliable check is finding the operator in the regulator’s own register. This tool does that for you: we keep local copies of the open registers and search by domain rather than by the pretty name in the header.
Pay special attention to the expiry date. Licences aren’t forever — they’re renewed annually, and an expired one means the operator either failed a review or chose not to pay. We show the end date and flag it when less than two months remain.
What the jurisdictions mean
Anjouan (Comoros) is currently the most common licence among casinos targeting the CIS, Asia and Latin America. Registration is fast and requirements are lighter than in Europe, but the register is public and transparent: company, number, expiry and every domain are visible. That’s its main upside — verification takes a second.
The UK (UKGC) is the strictest regulator in the world: source-of-funds checks, deposit limits, a credit card ban and enormous fines for breaches. Look for a UK licence when a casino serves the British market.
Malta (MGA) is the European standard: serious vetting at entry, player fund protection, mandatory ADR arbitration. Curaçao has historically been the most common licence and is now being reformed — legacy sub-licences from master licensees are gradually being replaced by direct licences from the new CGA regulator.
FAQ
Where does the data come from?
From the regulators’ own public registers: the open Anjouan Gaming Authority register and the official UK Gambling Commission downloads. We keep a local copy and refresh it regularly so search is instant. Every card links to the primary source — always confirm there for anything important.
The casino wasn’t found — is it unlicensed?
Not necessarily. We search two registers out of a dozen that exist. A casino may be licensed in Malta, Curaçao, Gibraltar, Estonia and so on. Check the other registers linked on this page. That said, if a casino appears nowhere and its site lists no legal entity, that is a bad sign.
What does it mean when one company has many domains?
It’s standard practice: one operator often runs several brands under a single licence. Useful to know — if a casino has payout problems, its “siblings” from that list usually share them. It also reveals mirrors and related projects.
The licence expired — can I still play?
An expired licence means the operator stopped being regulated as of the date in the register. Sometimes it’s a renewal delay, sometimes a real exit from oversight. If you see a past date, verify on the regulator’s site and don’t keep large sums in your account.
How strict are these licences?
They differ enormously. UKGC and MGA mean tough supervision, real sanctions and mandatory arbitration. Anjouan and Curaçao are easier to enter and lighter on oversight, but a licence still means a legal entity, obligations and an address for complaints. No licence gives you none of that.
How often is the data updated?
We re-read the registers regularly and show the date of the last update. Regulators change entries daily, so for anything disputed open the primary source — the link is in every card.
