What is a casino licence verification?
Casino licence verification is the process of checking that a casino holds a valid gambling licence from the regulator it claims. This is a straightforward way to confirm you’re playing at a legitimate, regulated operator rather than an unlicensed site.
How to verify a casino licence
Find the casino’s licence information — usually in the website footer or on a dedicated ‘About Us’ or ‘Licensing’ page. The footer typically shows the regulator’s logo, a licence number, and a link to the regulator’s site. Click that link or search the regulator’s public licence register directly. For the UK, go to the UKGC’s register and search by the casino’s name or licence number. For MGA, use the MGA’s public licence verification tool.
What to look for
Confirm the licence is active (not expired or suspended). Confirm the licence holder name matches the casino brand. Confirm the licence covers the type of gambling you’re doing (some licences cover sports betting but not casino games). A licence logo in the footer that doesn’t link to a real regulator page is a red flag. Real licences are always verifiable on the regulator’s public-facing register.
