Make sure that the gambling business is licensed

Before you gamble, check that the business has a Gambling Commission licence.

If the business has a Gambling Commission license, you will be protected by consumer and gambling protection rules in Great Britain.

Licensed gambling businesses must display that they are licensed and also provide a link to our public register.

The public register allows you to see what type of activities gambling businesses can offer, and if we have ever taken any regulatory action against them.
