A website offering gambling claims to be regulated by the Gambling Commission - how do I check they really are?
Gambling Commission licence holders must display a statement
that they are licensed and regulated by us, and their licence
number, on their website. This is usually found at the foot
of their webpages. You can check these details against the

regulated by the Gambling Commission. Before depositing any money
with a gambling website, you should satisfy yourself that the
provider is appropriately regulated. Information on how to do this
is available in our quick guide
