How we verify licences

Registry checks

We cross-check licence numbers against regulators and test expiry dates.

Jurisdiction fit

Listings are filtered to the right market pages like Canada or UK.

Testing certificates

We require proof from labs such as eCOGRA, iTech Labs, or GLI for RNG and RTP audits.

Key regulators by market

United Kingdom

UKGC licence with ADR participation and GAMSTOP integration is mandatory.

Ontario / Canada

iGO registration and AGCO compliance; offers must display provincial RG links.

Australia

State licences plus ACMA advertising rules and BetStop enforcement.

New Zealand

DIA oversight with strict game testing and AML obligations.

South Africa

National Gambling Board and provincial licences; self-exclusion duties apply.

Malta / EU

MGA licence requires ongoing fairness audits and player fund protection rules.

Signals we monitor

Why regulation matters for you

Fund segregation

Licensed casinos keep player funds separated from operational accounts, protecting withdrawals.

Dispute routes

Regulated markets provide ADRs and ombudsman services. Use our Complaints & Disputes guide.

Advertising rules

Licence conditions prevent targeting vulnerable players and require responsible gambling messaging.

Fair games

RTP and RNG are tested regularly; see Fairness & RTP for what that means.

Stay in the right market

Use the country hubs to ensure you see locally licensed casinos: UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa.
