Licensing
A licence isn't a badge of quality — it's a set of obligations you can verify.
What a licence requires
- Age and identity verification.
- Keeping player funds separate.
- Providing responsible-gambling tools.
- A proper complaints procedure.
How to check
Find the licence number on the site and look it up in the regulator's public register. A logo on the page proves nothing on its own.
A licence from another country usually doesn't make a service legal in yours.
