Casino licence checks in Great Britain

For a casino website in Great Britain, compare the legal holder, the remote casino activity and the exact domain in the Gambling Commission register. A company name or sports-betting activity alone does not establish the casino permission for an address.

Read the activity beside the legal holder

The Commission distinguishes remote gambling from physical, land-based gambling. Its accounts list activities separately, including remote casino, bingo and betting. Read the casino activity and licence reference alongside the holder’s name.

What the November register download shows

The Gambling Commission’s 7 November 2026 data lists 138 business accounts with an active Remote Casino licence. Of these, 104 have at least one declared domain marked Active. The other 34 have no domain marked Active in the download.

Those accounts have 491 active domain rows covering 487 distinct addresses as written in the register. The same exact address can appear under several accounts. For example, the download lists www.betfair.com and www.paddypower.com under three accounts each within this group.

The domain table identifies the account and the status of the declared address. It has no field showing which product the address offers. Check the precise address and the operator named in the casino’s terms before drawing a conclusion about that site.

A dated account example

On 4 November 2026, Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited, account 39544, listed remote casino activity as Active under reference 039544-R-319290-010. Its separate domain page listed betfred.com, betfred.mobi and www.oddsking.com as Active. This records what the pages displayed on that date; it does not assign every gambling product to every domain.

A dispute starts with the business

The account page says a player who disputes a transaction or service should first complain to the gambling business. The legal holder helps identify that business beyond a familiar brand name. This dated example does not establish that every British licence or website has been checked again.
