How to check your mobile casino license
1) Key idea: check not words, but a registry entry
A license is a public record with the regulator, not a picture on the site. Bona fide brands in the basement of the page and in the application have:- Legal entity name, registration number.
- License number and regulator (e.g.: UKGC, MGA, Gibraltar, your country/province's local regulator).
- Legal address, contacts for claims, link to responsible play policy.
2) Where to look for information in the mobile version/application
Site basement (mobile): "License," "Regulator," "Terms," "Responsible Gambling."
The About screen/Help/Legal in the app.
App Store/Google Play card: publisher (Developer/Publisher) must match the legal entity on the site.
Sections T&C, Privacy, KYC/AML, Self-Exclusion - licensed always have.
3) How to verify the license with the regulator (quick scenario)
1. Write down the full legal name and license number from the basement/application.
2. Go to the regulator's website and open the license register.
3. Enter a legal name or number. Check:- status (Active/Valid), trademarks (Brand/Domain), address and contacts, list of permitted activities (casino, betting, live, etc.), warnings/sanctions (if any).
- 4. Compare the domain/brand in the registry with the one you check. Mismatch - red flag.
4) Regulators and how they differ (short)
UKGC (UK): strict KYC/AML rules, strict advertising limits, ADR/Ombudsman.
MGA (Malta): distributed for international brands, transparent registries.
Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Alderney: high compliance, strong audit.
Local regulators of countries/provinces: best comply with local laws and payment infrastructure.
Offshore licenses: found in international brands; evaluate additionally - providers, audit, reputation and responsible play practices.
5) Additional markers of legality
Game providers (NetEnt, Play 'n GO, Pragmatic Play, etc.) - serious studios work only with licensed operators.
RTP/audit: availability of test laboratory certificates (eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI) and RTP section.
Responsible play: self-exclusion, deposit/bet/time limits, links to specialized assistance organizations.
Disputes and ADRs: Specified Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Payment methods: legal payment providers, clear names in the statement (descriptor), no transfers "to the manager's card."
6) How to identify clones and gray applications
The store has several applications with similar names, but different publishers.
There is no mention of the license/regulator either in the application or on the landing page.
In the basement - common phrases like "fully licensed" without a number and a reference to the regulator.
The application offers to install ARC/update manually or asks for extended permissions for no reason.
Payments go to P2P on personal details.
7) Check for iPhone and Android - mini check
iPhone (App Store):- Publisher in the card = legal entity from the basement.
- The update history is regular; there are Privacy Labels.
- Inside the application there are sections Terms, Privacy, Responsible Gambling.
- The publisher and site on the card match the legal data.
- There are no requests to "enable installation from unknown sources."
- Presence of references to the regulator/number in the "About the application" section or within the application.
8) KYC/AML and geo: what a licensed operator should have
Mandatory verification of identity (passport/ID), sometimes - address and source of funds.
Geo-restrictions: supported regions are honestly spelled out; geolocation is used.
Clear bonus policy: limits, vager, prohibition of abuse, transparent terms.
9) What to do if data is scarce or questionable
Ask support for a direct link to the registry entry.
Check the brand in independent registers, public warnings, at test laboratories.
Evaluate reputation: domain/brand duration, social media activity, public cases with ADR.
If in doubt, do not deposit; select a different brand.
10) Check algorithm (one page)
1. Find the license number, legal entity, regulator.
2. Check the entry in the official register and domain/brand.
3. Check game providers, RTP/audit certificates.
4. Rate KYC/AML, responsible play tools, ADR.
5. Compare the publisher in the store with the legal entity, the history of updates.
6. View payment methods: without P2P on "manager cards."
7. Walk through the check list of red flags. With 1-2 flags - stop.
11) Red flags (short list)
There is no license number and no reference to the regulator.
The number is, but does not break through in the registry or the status "Suspended/Revoked."
The publisher of the application ≠ a legal entity on the site.
No Responsible Gambling/ADR partitions.
Payment "only through transfer to a card/crypto wallet in a LAN."- Pressure to "urgently deposit/commission for withdrawal."
- Promises of "guaranteed winnings."
12) FAQ
Is the regulator logo enough in the basement?
No, it isn't. You need a clickable link to an entry in the registry or a number that is in the regulator's database.
If the offshore license is bad?
Not always, but risks are growing. Check auditing, game providers, reputations, responsible play tools and terms of disputes.
Do I need KYC if I have a license?
Yes I did. Licensed operators are required to conduct KYC/AML, especially before withdrawal.
Can I trust PDF "license scans"?
Only if they are supported by an up-to-date entry in the registry. Scans are easy to fake.
If the casino is new, what to do?
Look for an entry in the registry, check the legal entity, providers, audit, payment partners and withdrawal conditions. No transparency - better to wait.
