Business as usual 

For most of our casinos

 

We are entering November tomorrow which also means that a new law comes into effect in the UK.

All casinos that want to continue operating legally in the UK market after November 1 must be licensed by the UK gambling commission.

Most of our casinos have either applied for a UK license or already hold a UK license and will therefor continue to operate as normal.

There are some of our casinos that primarily target Scandinavia and these casinos have decided not to apply for a UK license at this time (like Cherry, EuroSlots, iGame and a few more).

But as mentioned – for most of our casinos like Guts Casino, Lucky Dino Casino, Betsafe, Mr Smith Casino, NextCasino, Thrills, SuperLenny, Jetbull and more – it is business as usual when it comes to UK players.

 

Full list

 

We have previously listed up all of our casinos that have applied for a license and you can find the full list here.

Give us a few days to double-check everything and we will update the list accordingly.

We have recently also introduced a couple of newer casinos including Royal Panda Casino and Casino Cruise.

Both of these casinos have informed us that they have applied for a license and will continue operating in the UK.

As Scandinavians, this new law does not affect us directly but we have many UK readers and will of course keep you updated on this.

 

 

If you are from the UK, then you probably know that a new gambling act will come into force on November 1.

This basically means that all online casinos that want to continue operating (legally) in the UK after this date need to have applied for a British gambling license. 

You may have noticed that some casinos already have shut down for UK traffic (mostly Microgaming based casinos) or have simply re-directed you to another brand.

However – we are happy to let you know that it seems like most of our casinos have applied for a UK license (own license or as a white label partner) and will continue to operate as normal in the UK market also after November 1. 

We are not sure yet when the gambling commission will start to accept/reject applications, but below you will find a list of casinos that have applied.

About the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act:

The regulatory changes that will be brought about by this Act will ensure that all remote gambling operators offering services to British consumers will be subject to consistent regulation.

In particular any regulatory changes introduced will apply to all those providing online gambling facilities to those in Britain not just the less than 15% currently licensed by us. 

This consistency will make it easier for a consumer to understand their rights and ensure operators report suspicious activity direct to us, all of which should provide greater transparency to consumers and protection against match fixing.

It will also make it easier for advertisers, including those carrying marketing messages to understand whether an operator is permitted to advertise into Great Britain.
