How UK Casino Licensing Works

How the UK Gambling Commission licenses casinos, the licence types, and what the LCCP guarantees players.

The legal framework

Every casino accepting UK players must hold a remote operating licence from the UK Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act 2005 (as amended in 2014). The licence is issued to a company, not a brand.

Fund protection

Licensees must disclose their player-fund protection tier — Basic, Medium or High — in their terms and conditions.
