GB · Activity-based licences and public register
Great Britain
The Gambling Commission regulates gambling offered to consumers in Great Britain. A business needs the licences relevant to its activities and channels, while the public register shows the legal business, trading names, current status and regulatory details.

What the framework covers
What the framework covers
Remote casino, betting, bingo, lotteries and gambling software are distinct licence activities. Physical premises appear in a separate register. A website’s visible brand is therefore only a starting point; the licensed entity and permitted activities matter.
How to check an offer
How to check an offer
Search the business register by legal name or account number, open the record and match its remote activities, trading names and status. For a physical venue, use the premises register and confirm the full address.
What not to infer
What not to infer
Registration proves authorisation, not profitability or an absence of harm. Review published compliance action and make use of applicable deposit limits, time controls and self-exclusion before gambling.
