Regulator

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)

The UKGC regulates gambling in Great Britain to keep it fair, safe, and crime-free. It sets rules for operators, protects vulnerable people (including minors), and can sanction non-compliance.

Role

What the UKGC does

  • Licences and supervises operators serving Great Britain.
  • Sets requirements on safer-gambling, transparency, and AML.
  • Investigates breaches, issues penalties, and can revoke licences.
  • Publishes guidance to protect consumers and prevent crime.
Check

How to verify a licence

  1. Find the operator’s legal name or licence number on their site.
  2. Search that name/number in the UKGC public register.
  3. Confirm the domain you’re visiting appears under the licence holder.

Only use operators authorised for Great Britain. Eligibility and terms always apply.
