How to Verify a UK Gambling Commission Licence

Before signing up at any online casino, verify it holds a valid UK Gambling Commission licence. Visit the UKGC website and use the public register to search for the operator by name.
Each licence has a unique number and status. Check that the licence is active and covers remote gambling. The operator's website should display the licence number in the footer; cross-reference it with the register.
Unlicensed operators may target UK players but are not permitted to offer gambling services. Playing at unlicensed sites carries risks including no protection for your funds or dispute resolution.
