A valid licence is the first sign of a safer casino. Here is how to find it, read it and confirm that it is genuine.
Find the licence details
Reputable casinos show the regulator’s name and licence number in the website footer or on the About page. Note both before you register.
Verify with the regulator
Most regulators publish a searchable public register of licensed operators. Search for the casino’s company name and check that the licence is active.
Know what a licence does not cover
A licence signals oversight, not perfection. Read the terms, check player complaints and keep your deposits modest until you trust a site.
