Licensing: what we can and cannot verify
What we could verify and what we could not
This page states plainly what is known about the licence. The check was carried out on 10 September 2026, and this is what it produced.
| Question | Status at the time of checking |
|---|---|
| Is a licence number publicly displayed? | No. There is none on this site, and none was obtained from the operator. |
| Is the operator's site reachable? | No. It returns ”Access Restricted” and cites licensing and regulatory requirements as the reason. |
| Can the licence be checked in a register? | Not without a number or the name of the licence-holding company. |
| What is this site? | An affiliate information site, not a casino. We handle no deposits and no withdrawals. |
An earlier version of this site said operations run ”under appropriate gaming licences” without naming a single authority or number. That claim cannot be checked, and it has been replaced by the findings set out on this page.
What a licence gives the player
A licence guarantees neither winnings nor a trouble-free experience. It is a set of concrete rights that can be checked:
| Jurisdiction | Independent complaints route | Segregated player funds |
|---|---|---|
| Malta (MGA) | Yes, directly to the authority | Required |
| United Kingdom (UKGC) | Yes, through an ADR body | Required, protection level must be disclosed |
| Gibraltar | Yes | Required |
| Curaçao | Varies by licence holder | No single standard |
| No licence, or no number to check | None | Unknown |
The difference only becomes visible in a dispute. If a withdrawal stalls and the operator holds a supervised licence, the complaint can be escalated. If the licence cannot be checked, the support desk's answer is the only channel there is.
How to check a licence yourself, in four steps
- Find the number. A licence number is almost always in the casino's footer, in a form such as ”MGA/B2C/123/2004”. If there is no number, the check cannot be made – and that is already an answer.
- Note the company name. A licence belongs to a company, not to a brand name. The footer should name the company and its country of registration.
- Search the register. Check the number or company name in the regulator's own register: Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission or the Gibraltar regulator.
- Compare the details. The company name, the domain and the licence status in the register must match what the site says. An expired or suspended licence shows in the register, never on the casino's own page.
If the check fails
A failed check does not automatically mean fraud, but it does mean there is no outside party who can step in during a dispute. In that case:
- Keep deposits small and withdraw as soon as you can.
- Complete identity verification before there is anything to withdraw.
- Keep every exchange with support in writing.
- Read the bonus terms before accepting a bonus – a wagering requirement locks the balance.
What this site is
Redbetz is an information site about online casinos and their offers. We earn commission from affiliate links. We are not a casino: we take no deposits, pay no winnings and have no influence over withdrawals. Accounts, payments and support are the operator's responsibility, and its terms apply regardless of what is written here.
Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over. If your play is a concern, free and confidential support is available from BeGambleAware, which also helps family members.
What certification covers and what it does not
Casino sites often display seals from independent testing laboratories. They mean something very specific, and the boundary is worth knowing.
| What certification proves | What it does not prove |
|---|---|
| The random number generator produces genuinely random results | That the casino pays out winnings |
| A game's return matches the figure stated | That the player wins over the long run |
| The tested build of the game behaves as described | That the site runs that same build |
| A test was carried out at some point | That the certificate is still valid |
Certification therefore covers the game; a licence covers the operator. A demonstrably fair game can sit on a site that does not pay out – the two do not substitute for each other.
Terms worth reading before your first deposit
The terms and conditions are the part of your protection that exists regardless of any licence. Five points decide the most in practice:
- Wagering requirement. How many times the bonus must be staked before the balance can be withdrawn, and whether the multiplier applies to the bonus alone or to bonus plus deposit.
- Maximum stake while wagering. Exceeding it voids the bonus under most terms, and the limit is often just a few euros.
- Winnings cap. Many bonuses cap the withdrawable amount at a multiple, for example five times the bonus.
- Withdrawal limits. Maximum per day, week and month – a large win can be paid out in instalments over several months.
- Account closure and inactivity. On what grounds an account can be closed and what happens to the balance if it is.
Read these before depositing, not after a withdrawal has been requested. If a clause is unclear, ask support in writing and keep the reply – it is the only evidence that still exists when there is no outside regulator to appeal to.
Questions
Does this site have a licence?
This site is not a casino and needs no gaming licence. The question concerns the operator, and its licence number is not publicly available.
Why do you not state the licence number?
Because it is not known. Inventing one, or copying another casino's number, would be false information, so we prefer to state what we do not know.
Is a Curaçao licence a bad licence?
It is lighter than a Malta or UK licence, particularly on the complaints route and on segregated player funds. That does not make every holder unreliable, but it does make checking more important.
How do I know the games are fair?
Certificates from independent testing laboratories cover a game's random number generator. They do not remove the house edge: a game can be fair and still be a loss for the player over the long run.
