Check a casino licence yourself

A licence claim is only worth something if the regulator confirms it. This page shows where each regulator publishes that confirmation. We do not run lookups on your behalf - you check the regulator directly.

Always, whatever the regulator

  1. Read the licence claim in the casino's own terms (usually section 1): company name, registration number, licence number, regulator.
  2. Open the regulator's own page by typing its address or using the links below - not a link that only exists in the casino footer.
  3. Match three things: the company, the licence number and the domain you are using.
  4. Note the date you checked. Licences are suspended and revoked; a check is a snapshot.

Red flags: a seal that is only a picture; a certificate page on a domain that is not the regulator's; a company in the certificate that differs from the terms; the domain you are on missing from the certificate's domain list; a licence number with no regulator page at all.

Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA)

  1. Scroll to the casino footer and click the Curaçao seal. It should open a certificate page on exactly cert.cga.cw - not a look-alike domain and not an image.
  2. Check the certificate: operator company name, licence number (current numbers look like OGL/2024/…), status, and the list of domains. The casino domain you are on must be in that list.
  3. Compare the company and number with the casino terms and conditions. They should match exactly.
  4. Older Curaçao numbers such as 8048/JAZ or 1668/JAZ were sub-licences under master licence holders from the previous system. A casino still showing only such a number deserves a closer look; see the guide below.

On 27 October 2026 the certificate pages on cert.cga.cw opened normally for the casinos we profiled, while the main cga.cw site showed a bot-check page to automated requests. In a normal browser both should load.

Anjouan (Union of Comoros)

  1. Find the licence number in the casino terms or footer. Anjouan numbers look like ALSI-152406043-FI4; the register often adds a digit after "FI" that casinos leave out.
  2. Open the licence register on anjouangaming.com by typing the address, and search the page (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) for the casino domain, the company name and the number.
  3. Match three things: the domain you are on must be in the "Domains" column, the company must match the casino terms, and the status must be Valid with an expiry date in the future.
  4. If the casino has a seal, check where it leads. The regulator says the seal must link to the operator's verification page in its public register; a validation page on any other domain - especially one spelled almost like the regulator - proves nothing on its own.

On 27 October 2026 the old address anjouangaming.org redirected to anjouangaming.com, whose register listed 1,251 licences. The search box on the "Verify a licence" page did not filter results for us; searching the register page itself worked. More in the Anjouan licence check guide.

Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission (KGC)

  1. Open the permit holders list. The Commission lists its permit holders with the URLs they operate.
  2. Search the page for the casino name or domain. The domain must appear in the list, not just the brand name.
  3. The KGC issues Client Provider Authorizations (CPA) to operators that provide gaming from its hosting facility; check that the casino holds one, not only a supplier permit.

Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)

  1. MGA licence numbers look like MGA/B2C/…/…. Find it in the casino footer.
  2. Open the licensee register on the MGA website and search for the company or the number. The register lists the licensed company and its approved domains.
  3. Check that the licence is active and that the domain you are on is listed.

The MGA site refused our automated request (HTTP 403) on 27 October 2026; open it in a normal browser.

Worked examples: casinos we checked

The same checks applied to casinos we profile, with what the regulator's page showed on the day:

What a licence does and does not tell you

A valid licence means a regulator has the casino on record and can, in principle, receive complaints about it. It does not guarantee fast withdrawals or fair bonus terms, and regulators differ a lot in how actively they handle player complaints. That is why our casino profiles show the register check next to payment, KYC and fairness facts, and why scores will come from real withdrawal tests (methodology).
