June 2026 — UK Gambling Commission public register |
The information in this table reflects the entries shown on the UKGC public register at the time of the last check. Statuses can change. Verify the current position at gamblingcommission.gov.uk before drawing any conclusion.
What "Not on the Register" Means
The UKGC public register lists every operator and domain currently licensed to offer gambling to consumers in Great Britain. Where a brand or domain is not listed, it is not currently authorised to provide gambling to GB players under a UKGC licence.
Register entries can change over time. Absence from the register does not describe how a website may operate outside Great Britain or under other regulators. Players in Great Britain should treat the absence of a UKGC listing as a clear signal not to open an account expecting UKGC-level protections.
Considerations for UK Players
When a domain or brand is not currently offered as a UKGC-licensed property to Great Britain players, the standard UKGC consumer protections that apply to active UK-facing licensed sites cannot be assumed. These protections include:
- Player funds held under UKGC segregation rules
- Access to IBAS for independent dispute resolution
- Responsible gambling tools required by UKGC (deposit limits, reality checks)
- GamStop integration — the UK-wide self-exclusion scheme
- ASA / BCAP advertising standards compliance
- Affordability and KYC checks applicable to UK-facing UKGC licensees
For any concerns about gambling operators or domains, the UK Gambling Commission can be contacted via gamblingcommission.gov.uk. The National Gambling Helpline is available on 0808 8020 133 (free, 24/7).
