How to verify a casino licence

Copy the exact licence number from the casino terms, find the operator in the official register and confirm that the certificate covers the same domain and product. A seal or screenshot on its own is not independent verification.

1. Match the company

Trading name and legal entity may differ.

2. Match the number

Search the complete licence or company reference.

3. Match the domain

A licence for one URL does not automatically cover another.

4. Match the product

Casino, betting and software permissions can be separate.

5. Save the date

Registers and market access can change.
