Casino Licence Verifier
The operators we cover, checked against the registers
We apply the same check to the operators reviewed on this site: each brand's licence claim, matched by its site domain against our snapshot of the claimed register. A match names the licence-holding entity from the register — usually a company, not the brand.
| Operator | Claimed licence | Register snapshot check |
|---|---|---|
| HeyCasino (heycasino.com) | Kahnawake | Listed under SpectraWeb Services SRL in the snapshot dated |
| Prontobet (prontobet.com) | Kahnawake | Listed under SpectraWeb Services SRL in the snapshot dated |
| Prontobet Sports (prontobet.com) | Kahnawake | Listed under SpectraWeb Services SRL in the snapshot dated |
| SlotParadise (slotparadise.com) | Kahnawake | Listed under EverEdge Marketing Solutions SRL in the snapshot dated |
Cross-checked against the register snapshots described above. A brand's absence from a dated snapshot is a prompt to check the live register, not a verdict.
How this works
Most affiliate sites just repeat a casino's own words: "licensed by X". They never check. Some "verification" sites go further and quietly serve you a months-old database while claiming it is live. This tool does three things, and is explicit about what each one proves.
First, it validates the format. Every regulator issues licence numbers in a fixed shape — the MGA uses MGA/CRP/543/2018, Curaçao's new regime issues CGA/2025/875/1301 or OGL/2024/1585/0822, Anjouan uses ALSI-202504011-FI1. We confirmed these shapes against entries in the registers themselves on 2026-07-23. A number that doesn't match its jurisdiction's shape is an immediate red flag.
Second, it looks the number up in our register snapshots. For Curaçao we parse the Gaming Authority's own licence registry — the register published on 2026-07-22 carried around 660 entries with issue and expiry dates, including licences revoked by the regulator. For Kahnawake we parse the Gaming Commission's public permit-holders list of operators and their gaming sites. Every result carries the snapshot date, because that is what a snapshot proves: presence in the register on that date, nothing more. A miss is never proof there is no licence.
Third, it sends you to the right register. Only the regulator's own public register can confirm a licence is active today. For Anjouan we link the register's own search pre-filled with your query — its register is directly searchable by number, company or site domain. For the MGA, Curaçao and Kahnawake we link the official page, because those registers cannot be deep-linked per entry. The last step is yours, and it is the one that matters.
What each licence actually means
A licence is only as strong as the regulator behind it. The jurisdictions you will see claimed sit on a wide spectrum of player protection.
Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Strong, established oversight: segregated player funds, audited RNGs, mandatory dispute resolution and AML obligations, plus a public licensee register and per-operator verification seals. Among the strongest signals an offshore casino can carry.
Curaçao. Historically the lightest mainstream regime — a few master licensees sub-licensed thousands of sites with little direct supervision. That era is formally over: the LOK (National Ordinance on Games of Chance) took effect in December 2024 and the Curaçao Gaming Authority now licenses operators directly and publishes a registry with issue dates, expiry dates and revocations. Two honest caveats remain: the CGA states that it does not handle individual player disputes and cannot order an operator to compensate you, and its register lists companies, not casino brand names — matching a brand to its licence-holding company still takes the operator's own terms page.
Kahnawake. A long-running North American regime. Its public permit-holders list names each operator and its gaming sites, but publishes no licence numbers or dates — so verification runs on names and domains, and the real-time proof is the KGC logo on the casino's own site, which generates a certificate of good standing from the Commission when clicked.
Anjouan. One of the newest and lightest licences: low-cost permits, limited public reporting, little track record on disputes. Its register is the most transparent of the light regimes — searchable by anyone, listing status, dates and covered domains — but a well-run register does not change how little the licence itself obliges the operator to do. Treat it as a minimal signal.
Gibraltar, Isle of Man and the UK Gambling Commission are stricter regimes aimed at larger operators. The UKGC is shown for context only — it licenses operators for the British market, so a casino serving you elsewhere is generally not covered by it even if the group holds a UKGC licence.
Frequently asked questions
Does a valid format mean the licence is real?
No. A valid format only means the number matches the shape its regulator uses. It is not proof the licence exists, is active, or belongs to the casino claiming it. The register lookup gets you further — and the regulator's own register, which every result links, is the final word.
What does a register-snapshot hit actually prove?
That the licence number or company appeared in the official register on the snapshot date shown with the result. Licences get issued, expire and get revoked between snapshots, so a hit is not a live guarantee — and a miss is not proof of no licence. Every result shows its snapshot date and links the register so you can confirm the current status.
Why isn't the lookup live?
Because honest beats impressive. The MGA's register actively resists automated queries, Curaçao publishes dated PDF registries, and Kahnawake publishes a static list — a site claiming to check these in real time is overstating what those registers allow. We parse the registers into dated snapshots, tell you exactly how old the data is, and link the source for the live check.
The casino's name isn't in the register — is it unlicensed?
Not necessarily. Registers list legal entities, not casino brands: one company can run many sites, and the company name rarely matches the brand. Find the operating company in the casino's terms and search for that, or search by the site's domain — the Kahnawake list and the Anjouan register both record covered sites.
Is an MGA licence safer than a Curaçao or Anjouan one?
Generally, yes. The MGA enforces segregated player funds, audits and a formal dispute process. Curaçao's new regime under the LOK licenses operators directly and publishes revocations, which is real progress — but the CGA itself states it cannot order operators to compensate players. Anjouan is newer and lighter still. The licence tells you how much recourse you realistically have.
The casino says it's UKGC licensed but I can't deposit — why?
A UKGC licence covers the British market specifically. If a casino serves you outside Great Britain, the UKGC licence generally does not apply to your account even when the operating group holds one. Check which licence actually governs your account in the casino's terms, then verify that one.
