Every casino licensed to take bets from people in Great Britain does so under a licence held by a company. That company is the UKGC licence holder, and it is the name that matters when you want to know who is accountable. The brand on the website is only a trading name. This page explains how holders and brands relate, how to read an operator page, and lists the 12 holders covered on this site.
Holder versus brand
The Gambling Commission licenses businesses, not websites. A remote casino licence is granted to a named company, which receives an account number and one or more licence numbers. The brands a player sees are the names that company chooses to trade under, together with the domains it runs.
This is why you can find a Commission register entry for 'LC International Limited' while the sites you know are called Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Casino and Party Casino. The register shows the holder, the licence activities, the trading names and the domains, and it records any regulatory action taken against the holder. On this site, a brand page tells you which holder is behind that brand, and the holder's own page tells you the rest.
Why one holder runs many brands
Running several brands under one licence is common and lawful. A holder may keep separate casino, bingo and sports brands, or brands aimed at different audiences, all covered by the same licence and the same compliance team. The holder remains responsible for the conduct of every domain listed against it.
For a player, the practical point is simple: a problem with one brand is a problem with the holder. If a holder is fined for failures in its anti-money laundering or social responsibility controls, that matters for each brand that holder runs. Equally, the same protections apply across them, including GAMSTOP, which is mandatory for every licensee under the Commission's licence conditions (LCCP 3.5.5). Our page on GAMSTOP explains how self-exclusion works across brands.
How to read an operator page
Each of the 12 pages below follows the same order, so you can compare holders without hunting.
- Facts panel. Holder name, account number, licence numbers, activities with start dates and the domains listed on the register. These are read from the Commission's public register on 9 November 2026.
- Licences in plain words. What each activity means, for example a remote casino activity or a general betting standard activity.
- Brands on this site. The directory brands whose account number matches the holder, each with a link to its own page.
- Sanctions history. Every action the register shows against the holder, with its date, type, outcome and amount where the register records one.
- Checking it yourself. How to confirm the same record on the register using the account number.
A holder with no sanctions listed is described as such with the date of the check. The register showing none on 9 November 2026 tells you only that no action is recorded at that moment. It does not tell you that a company is well run, and it does not predict anything about the future.

Using the holder pages with the licence types guide
Holder pages name activities such as Casino, Bingo and Pool Betting. If a term is unfamiliar, the licence types guide explains each one, and the remote casino licence page covers the activity that brings a holder into this directory.
