Checking who really holds a casino's licence

The public register in five steps: the account, the licence number, the web addresses and the actions tab.

Terms Revised is a reference record, not a gambling operator. We take no bets, hold no accounts and never handle money. Not intended for anyone under 18. Every casino named here holds a Gambling Commission licence, checked on the public register on 3 November 2026.

Every casino that takes bets from people in Great Britain needs a licence from the Gambling Commission, and the Commission publishes who holds each one. The brand on the website is often not the company on the licence.

1. Open the public register

Search by business name or web address at the Gambling Commission public register. The register is also available to download in full, which is what we use.

2. Note the account number

Each licence holder has an account number. Licence numbers start with it: 32Red is account 45322, licence 045322-R-324275-020.

3. Check the web address is listed

The "Domain names" tab lists the addresses a licence holder has declared, each marked active, inactive or white label. The business declares these itself; the Commission does not define the labels. On our list, Virgin Games is declared as white label: another company runs the site under that licence.

4. Read the regulatory actions tab

Warnings, penalties and extra licence conditions are published here. Our register record summarises them for the casinos we cover.

5. Watch for a change of holder

When a brand moves to a different company, an older account can stay on the register as inactive or surrendered. That history is part of the record on each casino page.
