Checked against the UK Gambling Commission public register on 9 November 2026. An independent site, not the Gambling Commission. How we work.

This page introduces the list of offshore casinos that appears below it. An offshore casino here means an online casino that does not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. Every brand on the list is outside the UK licensing system, is not covered by GAMSTOP and gives a UK player none of the UK complaint, stake or affordability protections. The list is information only.

Read this first

Three plain facts apply to every entry:

  1. No UKGC licence. The brand is not on the Commission's public register for the activity of providing casino games to people in Great Britain. You can confirm that yourself with the licence check guide.
  2. Not covered by GAMSTOP. If you have excluded yourself through the scheme, these sites do not check it. See the GAMSTOP page.
  3. No UK protections. There is no UKGC complaint route or approved ADR provider, and the rules on stake limits, affordability checks and the credit card ban do not bind the operator.

Playing at an unlicensed site is not an offence for the player. Under section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005, the offence of providing gambling without permission falls on the operator. That is a legal point about who commits the offence. It does not make the site safe, and it does not give you a UK remedy if something goes wrong.

What is listed

Each entry shows three things:

  • Brand name. As the operator presents itself.
  • Domain. Shown as a plain nofollow link, so that you can see the address. It is not a suggestion to use the site.
  • Licence regulator. The regulator the brand names, such as Curacao, Anjouan, Malta, Kahnawake or Costa Rica. Each of these has its own page under licence countries.

The regulator shown is what the brand states. We check it against the regulator's own public list where one exists, but we cannot guarantee that a licence is current on the day you read this. If you need certainty, go to the regulator's website and look up the licence number.

What is not listed

The list carries no incentives for players, because we do not publish them. It has no order of merit, no star scores and no commentary on which site to pick. It does not say that any brand is reliable, fast to pay or fair. Entries are not paid for, and we receive nothing from any listed brand. Read the editorial policy for how that works.

Nor does it show payout times, game counts or software suppliers. Those are marketing claims that we cannot verify, and a list that repeated them would blur the line between information and advertising.

How offshore licences differ

A licence from another country is permission under that country's rules. It is not permission to provide gambling to people in Great Britain, which needs a UKGC licence. The five regulators named on the list differ in what they check, whether they publish a register and whether they take player complaints:

Pages by search intent

People reach the offshore side through different searches. We have written one page for each, explaining what the searcher wants and what a UK player gives up:

The licensed side

If you want a casino with UK protections, the licensed casinos section lists brands and companies on the Commission's public register, as read on 9 November 2026. Each page shows the licence holder, account number and the activities the register records. The trust and safety page sets out the checks that apply to any site.

Offshore brands listed (15)

None of these brands holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. None is covered by GAMSTOP. A listing is information only and says nothing about quality.

Questions readers ask

Why does this site list offshore casinos at all?

Many UK adults search for them and few pages explain the facts. The list states which regulator a brand names, so a reader can check it at source. It is a reference, not a suggestion to use any site, and it carries no links that earn money.

Does being on this list mean a casino is licensed or safe?

No. Appearing here means the brand exists and names a regulator. It says nothing about reliability, payouts or fairness. None of the listed brands holds a UKGC licence, so none is covered by GAMSTOP or the UK complaint route.

Why are the domain links marked nofollow?

The links are given so you can see the address, not as a signal of endorsement. A nofollow attribute tells search engines that the site does not vouch for the destination. We do not receive payment from any listed brand.

How do I ask for a brand to be corrected or removed?

Email info@casinolicence.co.uk with the brand name and the correct detail, ideally with a link to the regulator's entry. Corrections to factual errors are made after checking, and our editorial policy page explains how we handle them.
