The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission publishes an online gambling licensee register. The page read for this guide states that it was last updated on 29 October 2026.
Operator and supplier are different
The register includes licence types such as Full, Network Services and Software Supply, alongside status and website fields. A software-supplier entry does not establish permission to run a player-facing online casino.
The web register dated 29 October 2026 and its linked Excel file each list 49 entries. Both show 14 Full, 7 Network Services and 28 Software Supply entries. Each version includes one entry marked suspended. These are register counts by licence type. The type alone does not tell you which games are approved on a particular site.
How to spot a misleading licence claim
On 14 October 2026, the GSC warned that some sites were displaying copies of licence documents and regulatory material to suggest they were licensed. If a site shows a certificate or the Isle of Man government crest, look up the operator yourself and compare the exact domain in the official register.
The GSC publishes a separate list of websites it has flagged. A domain can be absent from that list even if the regulator has never approved it. Use the licence register and check the rules where you play.
Scope of this guide
The checker does not verify individual Isle of Man licence claims. Check the exact holder, product, domain and current status in the GSC source. Permission in the country where you play remains a separate question.
