Licensing & Regulation

This page outlines the licensing status of the casino operators featured on our website.
We aim to provide transparent, factual information so that users can understand which regulatory frameworks apply to each gambling platform.

Importantly, this website does not provide gambling services and does not hold a remote gambling licence.
We operate solely as an independent review and comparison platform.

Our Role as an Information-Only Website

• We do not offer real-money gambling.
• We do not manage casino accounts, balances, payments or verification.
• We do not operate under UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licensing because we do not provide any gambling activity.

All gambling services featured on this website are operated by third-party casino companies, each responsible for its own compliance.

Users should always review the licensing information provided directly on a casino’s official website.

Licensing of Offshore Non-GamStop Casinos

Many casinos outside GamStop operate under offshore regulatory frameworks.

Curaçao eGaming Licence:

A large number of Non-GamStop casinos operate under a Curaçao licence, regulated by approved master licence holders.
Key points:

• Allows operators to offer online casino and sports betting services internationally
• Not connected to UKGC or the GamStop self-exclusion database
• KYC/AML obligations vary by operator
• Complaints may be escalated to the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB)

For players from the United Kingdom, a Curaçao licence means:

• You can access the casino even if you are self-excluded through GamStop
• Dispute resolution follows Curaçao procedures rather than UKGC rules

Other Regulatory Bodies Used by Partner Casinos

Although less common in the Non-GamStop sector, some operators may hold licences from:

• Anjouan (Comoros): A growing offshore jurisdiction used by multi-product casinos. Regulation is lighter than UKGC but requires operational registration.
• Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission: A respected regulator based in Canada, known for stricter compliance and oversight.
• Malta Gaming Authority (MGA): A strong EU regulator. MGA-licensed casinos generally participate in GamStop, so they rarely appear in Non-GamStop spaces.

Each regulatory body maintains its own standards for player protection, dispute handling, fairness testing and AML compliance.

Fairness and RNG Compliance

Most offshore operators are required to:

• Use certified RNG software
• Provide evidence of fairness testing (e.g., iTech Labs, GLI, eCOGRA audits)
• Display their licence number and company details on the website footer

We strongly encourage users to:

• Verify licence numbers
• Check the legitimacy of audit seals
• Use casinos with transparent T&C

Dispute Resolution Procedures

Licensing authorities typically provide structured complaint pathways, such as:

• Internal casino complaint handling
• ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution), where applicable
• Formal escalation to the regulator (e.g., Curaçao Gaming Control Board)

We do not intervene in disputes between players and casinos beyond advisory assistance.
