Casinolicence.co.uk is an independent directory that helps a UK adult check a casino licence, understand the rules and see the position of casinos without a UK licence. It is published by Node Solutions LTD. This page explains what the site is, what it does and what it does not do.
What the site is
The site is a reference. It is built in the same spirit as a public register: facts, dates and sources, with the reasoning shown. Its main parts are:
- Licensed casinos. Brands and companies licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), with the holder, account number, licence activities and any regulatory action shown on the Commission's public register. Start with the licensed casinos hub.
- Operators. The companies behind the brands, on the operators pages.
- Rules. Plain guides to GAMSTOP, stake limits, affordability checks, payments and age rules.
- Offshore casinos. An information list of casinos without a UKGC licence, with a clear statement of what a UK player loses. See the offshore list.
- Checks. A guide to checking a UKGC licence yourself and a page on fines and sanctions.
What the site is not
It is not a gambling operator, and it takes no bets. It is not an advice service, and it does not tell you where to play. It does not sell placement, and it carries no affiliate links, no incentives for players, no star scores and no calls to action. Nothing on the site is an endorsement of a brand.
This matters because many sites in this field earn money when a visitor registers with a casino. That arrangement shapes what such a site says. We do not take part in it, and the editorial policy explains how we keep it that way.
How a page is made
Each page starts from a primary source: the Gambling Commission's public register and website, the text of the Gambling Act 2005 on legislation.gov.uk, GAMSTOP's own pages or a regulator's published material. We restate facts in our own words, give the date they were read and link to the source. The sources and method page describes the process in detail.
We separate three kinds of statement. A fact from a register is shown with its date. A rule is explained and linked to its source. An opinion or judgement is avoided; where the rules leave a point uncertain, we say so.
How the licensed data stays accurate
The licensed section reflects the Gambling Commission's register as read on 9 November 2026. A company can change status, be sanctioned or add a licence at any time, so a page is a snapshot. Anyone relying on a licence should check the register directly; the licence check guide takes a couple of minutes to follow.
If you spot an error, tell us. Corrections are covered under the editorial policy, and the contact page shows how to reach us.
The offshore side
The site includes casinos outside UK regulation because readers search for them. Every such page says early that these casinos hold no UKGC licence, are not covered by GAMSTOP and take away UK protections. They carry no incentives, no order of merit and no endorsements. See the page on casinos not on GAMSTOP for an example.
Who this is for
The site is for adults aged 18 and over who want to understand UK gambling regulation. It is also useful to someone who has had a problem and wants to know where a complaint goes, or who wants to confirm a licence before depositing. Nothing here replaces advice from a qualified adviser.
