Casino Not Registered With GamStop

Checking a casino licence takes about five minutes and needs nothing more than the operator’s footer and the regulator’s public register. The method is the same whether the licence is British, Curaçaoan or from anywhere else: find the company, find the number, and match both.

Step 1: get the operating company, not the brand

Scroll to the footer and look for a legal name — something ending in B.V., N.V., Ltd or Limited — rather than the brand. On this site, for example, Cheeky Wins is a brand and Cheeky Holding N.V. is the company; Superb is a brand and Winner Group N.V. is the company behind it.

If the footer names only the brand, the licence claim cannot be checked. Ask support for the operating entity in writing; a legitimate operator will answer without hesitation.

Step 2: find the licence number

It is usually beside the company name or on a dedicated licence page. It looks like OGL/2024/1129/0928 for a Curaçao permit or a six-digit account number for a Gambling Commission licence. Write it down exactly; a single digit changes the record.

Step 3: search the register

For a British licence, the Gambling Commission publishes a public register of businesses and individuals. Search the company name and the licence number. For a Curaçao permit, the Curaçao Gaming Authority publishes its own register of permit holders.

Match three things: the company name, the number and the domain. If all three line up, the claim is real. If the register shows a different company, or the number belongs to an entity you have never heard of, you have found something worth understanding before you deposit.

Step 4: check the status, not just the existence

A licence can be suspended, expired or under review. The register entry should show a status and, where relevant, an end date. A permit that exists but is not current is not a licence you can rely on.

This is the step people skip. GoldenBet, for instance, holds permit OGL/2024/1798/1048 through Santeda International B.V., and our record notes that the company was removed from the Curaçao commercial register in April 2026 while continuing to trade. That does not automatically invalidate the permit, but it is exactly the kind of thing a status check surfaces.

Step 5: understand shared permits

One permit can cover many brands. Nine of the ten casinos on this site share OGL/2024/1129/0928, each under a different N.V. company. That is legal and common in white-label arrangements, and it means the licence check tells you about the operator group rather than the individual shopfront.

The practical consequence: two brands with the same permit number are the same regulatory proposition. Choosing between them is a choice of bonus and theme, not of regulator.

What a mismatch usually means

The company differs from the brand: Normal. Brands are trading names; companies hold licences.
The number is not in the register: Either the claim is wrong or the number has been mistyped. Ask support for it again.
The permit covers many domains: Normal for a white-label group. Check which company within the group runs the brand you are on.
The status is suspended or expired: Stop. That is the finding the check exists to produce.

Where this fits

A licence check is the first of the four checks in the safety guide, and the one that takes the least time. The registration page explains why an offshore permit is outside GamStop, and the site catalogue lists every operator with its permit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if a casino is licensed?

Find the operating company and the licence number in the site footer, then search the regulator's public register for both. Three pieces of information need to agree: the legal entity, its permit number and the web address you are actually on. A brand alone proves nothing, because brands are trading names and the permit is held by the company behind them. If the footer names only the brand, ask support for the operating entity in writing before you deposit. The whole check takes about five minutes and needs nothing more than the footer and the register.

Where is the UK licence register?

The Gambling Commission publishes a public register of licensed businesses and individuals on its own website, and it can be searched by company name or by licence number. A Great Britain licence also carries a six-digit account number, which is the number to write down from the footer and then look up. The entry should show the business, the number and a status — active, suspended or expired. If a site claims a British licence but nothing in the register matches, treat the claim as unverified until support supplies the correct details.

How do I check a Curaçao licence?

The Curaçao Gaming Authority publishes its own register of permit holders, and a Curaçao permit is verified there rather than anywhere else. Numbers follow an OGL pattern with the year and reference digits, so write down exactly what the footer shows — a single digit changes the record. Search for the number and the operating company together and confirm they appear as one entry. Check the status too: a permit that exists on paper but is not current is not one you can rely on.

What if the brand name is not in the register?

That is normal and not a warning in itself. Registers list licensed companies, not trading names, so a brand like Cheeky Wins will not appear while Cheeky Holding N.V. will. Look in the footer for a legal entity ending in N.V., B.V., Ltd or Limited and search for that instead. If no company is named anywhere on the site, ask support for the operating entity in writing; a legitimate operator answers without hesitation, and a site that will not name one is telling you something useful before you deposit.

Does one licence cover several casinos?

Yes. White-label groups run many brands under a single permit, each through a separate company. The clearest example on this site is the shared Curaçao permit behind nine of the ten operators, where the brands look distinct but the regulatory paperwork is the same. That arrangement is lawful and widespread, and it means a licence check identifies the group you are dealing with rather than the shopfront you signed up to. Two brands on one permit number are therefore the same regulatory proposition, so the choice between them is about bonus and theme, not about who supervises them.
