How to check your license number on the casino website
The license number is the key to checking the legality of a casino. Just seeing the regulator's logo is not enough: it is important to make sure that the number is valid, it belongs to a specific legal entity, and your domain/brand is really indicated with the regulator. Below is a simple algorithm.
Where to look for a license number on the casino website
1. Footer (bottom of each page).
Typically, next to the regulator logo is the number, name of the regulator and legal entity (Ltd/LLC/SA, etc.).
2. Разделы «Terms & Conditions», «About/Company», «Licensing», «Legal».
There must also be the details of the legal entity, address and jurisdiction.
3. Politicians: KYC/AML, Responsible Gambling, Privacy.
The license number is often duplicated.
4. Clickable badges (eCOGRA/GLI/iTech Labs/ISO) are not about a license, but their clickability indirectly confirms good faith.
Step-by-step verification of license number (5 steps)
Step 1. Copy the number and legal entity
Fix: 'License Number', 'Legal Entity', 'Regulator Name', 'Exact Domain'.
Step 2. Open the official register of the regulator
Search for "
Step 3. Check status and owner
Status: must be Active/Current/Live.
Licensee/Company: does the name of the legal entity match the one on the casino website.
Step 4. Check brand and domain
In the license card, see fields like Trading names/Brands/Authorized URLs. There should be:- your brand (commercial name), your domain (exact URL or its listing).
- Missing domain/brand - ask the support (template below).
Step 5. Make sure that the license is not "on platform" without domain coverage
If the casino is white-label, your domain/brand must be listed with the platform licensee. Otherwise - risk.
How to distinguish a real number from a "decor"
The number is checked in the registry and is visible marked Active.
The legal entity coincides: in the rules of the site and in the registry card - the same thing (or the official white-label of the specified licensee).
The domain/brand appears among those allowed by the regulator.
There is an ADR/Ombudsman in the rules (dispute mechanism).
Clickable audit badges lead to the verification pages of your domain/brand (and not to the general picture).
Red flags (better leave)
1. Regulator logo without a number and a link to the registry.
2. There is a number, but the registry has a different owner or Suspended/Revoked/Expired status.
3. The domain is not specified by the regulator, and the support evades the answer.
4. Non-flexible or "broken" audit badges (eCOGRA/GLI, etc.).
5. The rules have strict restrictions on conclusions without explanation and there is no ADR.
6. They ask to send documents to email/messenger, and not through a secure office.
7. Fresh domain with a "long brand history" and many "mirrors" without mention in the registry.
Additional useful reconciliations (optional)
Whois/domain age and brand fit.
List of payment methods: known PSP/local fast rails - plus; "gray" aggregators - minus.
Responsible Gambling: deposit/loss limits, self-exclusion, assistance contacts.
KYC/AML policy: clear deadlines and lists of documents.
Support Request Template
1. Full legal entity and license number.
2. Link to the card in the register of the regulator, where our domain/brand is indicated.
3. Name of your ADR/Ombudsman and how to file a complaint.
Thank you!
Refusal or "fog" in answers is a weighty reason not to register.
Mini-FAQ
There is a number, but it is impossible to find it in the registry - what to do?
Check the spelling of the legal entity/number, look for both fields. No result - ask your support for a direct link. Without it, do not take risks.
If a company license is active in the registry, but my domain is not specified?
This is not approx. Domain/brand must be authorized. Otherwise, you are not protected by this license.
Is White-label safe?
Yes, if your domain/brand is registered with the platform licensee and Active status. Check the licensee card.
Screen "certificate" on the site - is this proof?
No, it isn't. Trust only the regulator's public register and ADRs.

Checking your license number is 10 minutes, which saves money and nerves.
