UK Gambling Law Explained
In Great Britain, the UK Gambling Commission regulates online gambling operators. Check the actual domain against the official business register, not only a logo or an overseas licence.
Check licence status and operator details
Use the public register of gambling businesses. Enter the operator’s trading name or actual domain. An overseas licence is not proof that an operator is permitted to target customers in Great Britain.
GB-licensed online operators are required to participate in GAMSTOP. The UKGC also prohibits credit card gambling and capped qualifying bonus wagering at 10× from 19 January 2026.
Regulations and eligibility can change; the official regulator is the authoritative source.
