Check any license yourself

We don't run a private testing lab, and we're not going to pretend we do. What we maintain instead: an accurate map of which regulator licenses each casino below, and a direct link to that regulator's own public register — so you can confirm current status yourself in under a minute, instead of taking anyone's word for it.

Regulators covered

Malta Gaming Authority

Malta (EU)

One of the most established remote-gambling regulators, with EU-based oversight, player fund segregation rules, and a public enforcement register.

Open the official register

UK Gambling Commission

United Kingdom

Regarded as one of the strictest gambling regulators globally. Required for any operator explicitly marketing to UK players, with a full public register of licensees.

Gibraltar (British Overseas Territory)

A long-established licensing jurisdiction predating the UKGC era, still used by several major operators alongside an MGA or UKGC licence.

How to actually check each register

What to search for, what an active license looks like, and the specific red flags to watch for — per regulator.

Malta Gaming Authority

  1. 1Go to the MGA Licensee Register (link above).
  2. 2Search by the operator's legal company name if you have it — brand names like "Jackpot City" are often owned by a differently-named licensee entity, which the casino's footer or terms page usually discloses.
  3. 3Open the matching record and check the "Status" field.

What "active" looks like

"Active" or "Licensed" status, with a current license class (e.g. Type 1 Gaming Services) and an issue date. The record also lists any regulatory actions taken against the licensee.

Red flags

  • • No matching record for the name or domain
  • • Status shown as "Suspended," "Cancelled," or "Terminated"
  • • A license class that doesn't match the product (e.g. only a sports-betting class for a site offering casino games)

UK Gambling Commission

  1. 1Go to the UK Gambling Commission's public register (link above).
  2. 2Search by operating name or account number if the casino displays one.
  3. 3Check the licence status and the specific activities it covers.

What "active" looks like

A licence marked "Active" with remote gambling activities listed (e.g. "Casino," "Bingo") matching what the site actually offers.

Red flags

  • • Licence covers different activities than what's offered
  • • Status shows "Revoked" or "Surrendered"
  • • The licensed entity name doesn't match who you'd actually be contracting with

Gibraltar Gambling Division

  1. 1Go to the Gibraltar Gambling Division's licence holders list (link above).
  2. 2Search for the operator or parent company name.
  3. 3Cross-check against any second license the casino also claims (many Gibraltar-licensed operators are dual-licensed with the MGA).

What "active" looks like

The company appearing on the current licence holders list with an active B2C remote gambling licence.

Red flags

  • • Company absent from the current list
  • • Only appears in historical/archived records

Curaçao Gaming Control Board

  1. 1Go to the Curaçao Gaming Control Board register (link above).
  2. 2Curaçao is mid-transition from the old master/sub-licence system to a centralised register — a casino may still reference an old master licence number that predates the new regime.
  3. 3Treat a Curaçao licence as materially weaker oversight than MGA or UKGC regardless of what the register shows, and weigh a casino's operating history and complaint record more heavily.

What "active" looks like

A current registration under the new centralised system, or a clearly explained transitional status.

Red flags

  • • A licence number that no longer resolves anywhere in the new system
  • • No public information beyond the number the casino itself provides

Look up a specific casino

Each row links straight to the register you'd need to search — we don't claim to have checked today's status for you.

License check — FAQ

Because a badge on a casino's own site proves nothing — anyone can put a logo in a footer. A regulator's public register is the primary source: it shows the current status (licensed, suspended, expired) independent of what the casino claims about itself.
