Casino licences ranked by protection
Time saverStronger regulators such as the UK Gambling Commission, Malta MGA and US state regulators offer real dispute routes. Weaker or offshore licences offer less. Always verify the licence number.
What a licence gives you
Audited games, segregated player funds in some regimes, complaint procedures and penalties for operators that break rules.
How to check
Find the licence number in the site footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Local regulators, such as Kenya's Betting Control and Licensing Board, may also matter for local players.
