UKGC Licensed Operator Register

Every company that offers online gambling to people in Great Britain must hold a licence from the Gambling Commission, and every one of those licensed online businesses must take part in GAMSTOP. That means if you register with GAMSTOP, all of the operators in the register below should refuse to let you gamble for as long as your exclusion lasts. This page explains what a Gambling Commission licence means, how to check a website’s licence for yourself and then sets out a reference table of operators that hold an active remote (online) licence for casino, betting or bingo.

Gamstop Guide is an independent self-help resource. We are not the Gambling Commission or GAMSTOP, we have no connection with any operator in this register and we do not link to any of them. The table is here so you can see who is covered by self-exclusion, not as a guide to where to gamble.

What a UKGC licence means

The Gambling Commission (often called the UKGC) regulates gambling in Great Britain. Since 1 November 2014, any business offering remote gambling to people in Great Britain has needed a Gambling Commission licence, wherever the business itself is based. Offering remote gambling to people in Great Britain without one is an offence.

A licence comes with conditions that are designed to protect people. For someone trying to stop gambling, these are the ones that matter most:

• GAMSTOP participation. Since 31 March 2020, every online operator licensed in Great Britain has had to check the GAMSTOP register and refuse people on it.
• Their own self-exclusion. Each licensed operator must also let you self-exclude from your account directly.
• Age and identity checks. Customers must be verified as 18 or over before they can gamble.
• No credit cards. Credit cards have been banned for gambling with licensed operators since 14 April 2020.
• Complaints. If a complaint is not resolved, it can be taken to an independent dispute resolution service.

How GAMSTOP and the licence fit together

Because taking part in GAMSTOP is a licence condition, the two systems work as a pair. When you register at gamstop.co.uk, your details are shared with licensed online operators, who must stop you opening new accounts or gambling with existing ones. A website that does not appear on the Gambling Commission’s register as holding a remote licence has no access to GAMSTOP and no duty to check it. Bank gambling blocks and blocking software are the tools that reach those sites. Our guide on how to block gambling explains how to set them up.

How to check a website’s licence yourself

The table on this page is a snapshot. The official, live source is the Gambling Commission’s public register, and it is always worth checking there.

1. Find the account number. Licensed websites usually show their Gambling Commission account number, often at the bottom of the page.
2. Go to the public register. Visit the Gambling Commission public register of businesses.
3. Search. Enter the account number, the company name or the website’s domain.
4. Check the licence details. Look for an active licence of the type “Remote” and check that the website’s domain or trading name is listed against that business.
5. If anything does not match, treat the site as unlicensed. A missing account number, a licence from another country only or a domain that is not on the register are all warning signs.

About this register

The table below is built from the Gambling Commission’s downloadable business licence register, files dated 2 October 2026. It includes every business that held at least one active remote licence on that date for one of these activities: casino, bingo, general betting (real events, virtual events or limited) or pool betting, plus betting intermediaries. In total that is 224 licensed operators.

Many operators hold more than one type of licence, so the figures above add up to more than the total. A few points to bear in mind when reading the table:

• Not included: businesses that only supply gambling software, host games or betting for other companies, run society lotteries or act as external lottery managers, and licences that are pending, suspended, surrendered, lapsed or revoked.
• Trading names and domains are shown exactly as the Gambling Commission lists them, including domains run under the licence on behalf of other brands. Some operators list none, or list more than they currently use.
• The register changes. Licences are granted, surrendered and revoked all the time. Always confirm on the official register before relying on any entry.
• No links and no ranking. Names are shown as plain text in alphabetical order. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

If you are checking because you want to stop

If you came to this page to make sure your exclusion covers the sites you used, that is a really good step. If you came looking for somewhere your exclusion does not reach, please pause for a moment. That search is very common, and it is usually a sign that the urge is strong right now and that some support would help. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and open day and night, and our guide on how to take control of gambling has ideas for getting through an urge.
