The index, November 2026
The casinos licensed to take a bet in Great Britain, and what each licence covers
An index of the operators licensed by the Gambling Commission to serve players in Great Britain. Where most comparison sites print a score out of five, this one prints the account number on the public register, the company that holds it, and the list of activities the licence covers, because a licence is a list and not a badge.

What sits in the box above the button
Every «comparison site» in this trade keeps one box on every card for the thing it most wants you to believe, and on nearly all of them that box holds a "score" out of five, arrived at by a method nobody publishes.
Something else sits in that box here, for a reason that has nothing to do with modesty: an "account number" (the reference the Gambling Commission gives a licensed company on its public «register» (a list a public authority keeps and publishes)) is a fact anybody can verify in about a minute. Meanwhile a "4.8 out of 5" is a fact that can only be accepted on trust.
The six operators above are one from each of the seven companies that hold the licences behind the twenty-four brands on this site, and the arrangement is deliberate; the reason is that the company is the unit the regulator actually deals with. A brand is a name, a set of colours and a «lobby». Meanwhile the licence (the complaint) the "«self-exclusion» (a refusal the operator is obliged to honour)" and the rules about what a bonus may ask all attach to the company rather than to the sign above the door.
What we add to the number is the part of the register almost nobody reads. A British licence is not a pass mark; it is a list of "entitlements" (the specific activities the register records against a company), and that list differs from one holder to the next, which is why two sites both carrying the line "licensed by the UK Gambling Commission" at the foot of the page can be permitted to offer you completely different things.
Four entitlements, and no two holders carry the same four
The register records what an operator may do under four headings that matter to a player, and we print all four on every card. One company on this site may run a casino, a bingo room and a «sportsbook». Meanwhile another may run a casino and nothing else, and a third may take a wager on a "virtual event" (a match whose result a «random number generator» decides) but not on a real one.
What each of the four entitlements permits, and how to read it on the register, is set out in the table on what a licence actually covers.
That last distinction is one the register draws carefully and most websites never draw at all. The reason is that the two products look identical on a screen and sit on separate entitlements with separate names. An operator can hold either one without the other, which is exactly what has happened to two of the companies listed here since the first of October 2026.
The consequence is easiest to see on the bingo page. Four of the twenty-four brands here stand in perfectly good order with the Commission and still may not run a bingo room. The reason is that the entitlement on their licence reads "Casino (Remote)" and stops there, and a site that listed those four beside the bingo halls without saying so would be telling you something false about the very product he came looking for.
The objection, which belongs here rather than in the footer
The obvious objection to a site like this one is that the operators it describes are the operators paying for it, and the objection deserves an answer in the second section rather than a line of small type at the bottom. Our links are commercial, they are marked as such in the page and in the markup (the "sponsored" attribute that a search «engine» reads), and the order of every list on this site is the licence holder first and then the alphabet.
That order is a rule anybody can apply to the same data and get the same result, which is the only kind of order worth publishing on a page that is paid for its links. What the money cannot reach is the licence column, because an account number, a company name and a list of entitlements are either on the Commission's register or they are not, and the register is one link away from every card on this page.
The rules changed twice in eighteen months, and both changes are on these pages
You who last looked at a British casino in 2024 is reading a different market now, and a great deal of what sits online about it has quietly gone out of date. Since the ninth of April 2025 an online slot may not take more than five pounds in a single "game cycle" (the run from the moment a stake is placed to the moment the result is settled), and since the twenty-first of May 2025 the limit for a player aged between eighteen and twenty-four has been two pounds, a limit that follows the person rather than the game.
Since the nineteenth of January 2026 a bonus may not ask for more than ten times its value in stakes before the winnings become real money, and one offer may no longer push a player across two products at once, which is the end of the "welcome package" that handed out a free bet and a hundred spins in the same breath. We saw the new ceiling in the wild while checking a «landing page» (the first screen a link opens) from a London connection on the seventh of November 2026: Genting's «entry offer» (what a casino hands a new account) now reads "WR 10x Bonus", where the same sort of offer a year earlier would have read thirty-five times, or fifty!
The reforms of 2025 and 2026, with the date each one took effect and the instrument that carried it, are set out in order on British gambling law.

Where the link goes, which is not a detail
The second thing we publish in place of a figure is the type of page our link opens.
The reason is that an offer belongs to a "landing page" and not to a brand, and a «tracker» that arrives on a home page promises nothing at all whatever the card beside it says. We followed every British link on this site from a connection in London on the seventh of November 2026, and the exercise was not decorative: one of them (for a brand we would otherwise have listed without hesitating) arrives on the operator's Canadian site, quoting Canadian dollars under a headline written for Canada.
That brand appears here without a button and with a line saying why, and it will get one on the day its programme issues a British landing page for it. The alternative (sending you in Manchester to a page that cannot open him an account, and saying nothing about it) is exactly what a figure in a box allows a site to do, which is the reason we would rather publish a destination than a promise.
What we check, and what we could not
The method has a page of its own, and the short version of it is three rules that govern every line on a card. A licence goes into a card only with the authority (the account number) the company and the date we read it; a bonus figure goes in only with the four facts that make it legible, which are the minimum deposit, the amount to be staked and how many times, the deadline. The share of the balance that may actually be withdrawn.
Without all four of those facts the box carries the type of landing page instead, and no number whatsoever. The third rule concerns absence: a claim about an operator we have not held an account with is attributed to whoever made it (usually the operator's own terms, or the register of a regulator), and a gap we could not fill is marked as a gap rather than filled in with a plausible sentence.
One of the twenty-four brands sits behind a host our tools could not reach on the day of checking, so its landing page is recorded as unverified, and the word stays there until somebody checks it. A marked gap is one you can go and close for yourself. Meanwhile a gap that has been papered over is one you cannot even see!

Who this site is for, and who it is not for
This is an index of operators licensed to serve Great Britain, written for people who are already going to play and would rather do it with a company that answers to somebody. It is not an argument that playing is a good idea, and nothing on these pages is written to persuade anybody to start: every game described here is built to return less than it takes (the figure is published by the studio that made it) and the arithmetic over a year of ordinary play has a page of its own.
If gambling has stopped being entertainment, the National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133; it is free, it is open every hour of every day, and it is answered by people who do this for a living rather than by us.
Questions readers ask
Why is there no rating out of five on this site?
Because a rating is a number a reader would have to take on trust, while a licence account number is a number he can check against a public register in about a minute. In the space where the comparison sites we read put "4.9 / 5", this site puts the authority, the account number, the company holding the licence, and the list of activities that licence actually covers.
What does "licensed by the UK Gambling Commission" really tell me?
Less than it sounds, which is the reason the rest is printed beside it. It tells you the company sits on the register and answers to the Commission's conditions, and it does not tell you which products it may offer: seven of the twenty-four brands here may not run a bingo room, and seventeen of them may not take a bet on a football match.
Is it legal to play at these casinos from Great Britain?
Yes. Every operator named on the commercial pages holds a remote operating licence from the Gambling Commission, which is what section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 requires of anybody providing facilities for gambling to people in Great Britain. A site without one commits an offence, and so, separately, does anybody advertising it, which is why the pages written for other countries carry no brand names at all.
What changed for bonuses in January 2026?
Two things, both in Social Responsibility Code provision 5.1.1. A «wagering requirement» may no longer exceed ten times the value of the bonus, where fifty times was ordinary not long ago, and a single incentive may no longer require play on two different products, which ends the welcome package mixing a free bet with casino spins. Offers written before that date, and still quoted elsewhere, no longer describe what a British operator is allowed to do.
Do you earn money when I open an account?
Yes, and it is the reason every button carries the word "sponsored" in the markup and the phrase "commercial link" underneath it. What the payment does not reach is the licence column: anybody reading this page can check these account numbers against the Commission's register in the same number of clicks it took us, and a brand whose link would send a British reader to the wrong country appears here without a button at all.
