No, domain not found 9 November 2026

The UKGC check is against the domain-name list of the Gambling Commission register. The regulator check is against the licensing authority's public register where this site could read it.

What is known about FreshBet

Named by several offshore guides as a Curaçao-licensed casino and betting site. It holds no UK licence, so GAMSTOP does not cover it.

The brand presents casino and sportsbook products.

The licence country matters for how complaints work and for what the regulator can do. See the Curaçao licence explained.

What a UK player gives up

A Gambling Commission licence brings obligations that protect the player. At an unlicensed site these do not apply:

  • GAMSTOP: a GAMSTOP exclusion does not reach this site.
  • Complaints route: no Gambling Commission licence conditions on complaints, and no access to the UK alternative dispute resolution schemes that licensees must offer.
  • Stake and wagering rules: the £5 and £2 online slot stake limits and the 10x wagering cap apply to licensees only.
  • Customer checks: identity and affordability checks follow the licence regime in Great Britain, so offshore sites may do less, more or different checks.
  • Credit cards: the ban on credit card gambling applies to licensees only.

Compare this with the UKGC licensed casinos and read how GAMSTOP works.

Questions readers ask

Is FreshBet licensed by the UK Gambling Commission?

No. freshbet.com does not appear in the Gambling Commission's list of domain names declared by licensees, read on 9 November 2026. That means UK consumer protections attached to a licence do not apply.

Is FreshBet covered by GAMSTOP?

GAMSTOP only binds Gambling Commission licensees. A site without that licence can accept a player who has self-excluded, so your exclusion does not reach FreshBet.

Which licence does FreshBet claim?

The brand is described as Curaçao-licensed. We have not been able to confirm this claim in the licensing authority's own register, so treat it as unverified.

Is it an offence for a player to use FreshBet?

Section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 targets the person who provides unlicensed gambling, not the player. Using an unlicensed site does mean you lose UK protections. If gambling is causing you harm, the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free.
