Gambling License
There is a sensible approach to Gambling that starts with choosing a Casino that has a Gambling License. The common misconception relating to online casino’s is that they don’t need a Gambling License because they don’t operate a physical Vegas-style brick and mortar casino. WRONG!
Every credible Casino or Sports Book platform should have a registered licence to gamble. All licensed establishments are regulated by independent professionals that make sure everything they offer is above board and legal.
More importantly, everything that they do needs to be open and transparent. Gambling Authorities get to look behind the curtain to make sure that the wizard is in fact a wizard. Unregulated Casinos have no independent control and no legal precedence to set their standards by. That also means that there is no recourse when something goes wrong.
If a gambling site is licensed, then everything they do is independently controlled and regulated. Including advertising, fair play standards and gambling rules and regulations.
Licensed Agreement
It all starts with the Gambling Commission. Each Casino must apply for a license under the guidance for a compliant gambling business. This includes information on the Casinos responsibilities, Anti-money laundering rules, Fair play guidance and Codes of practice policies.
In short, the Gambling Commission makes sure that everything that your online Casino offer is exactly what it should be. This includes:
- Gambling and Software Standards
- Remote Gambling Requirements
- Gambling technical standards
- Complaint and Alternative dispute resolutions
- Advertising Standards
Make sure that the Casino you chose is licensed, regulated, and registered. At the footer of every Casino website, the home page is all the information you need. Each Casino, Slots, Bingo, Poker or Betting operator has the following information on display. All of which you can verify.
- Trading name including Operating name
- Registered address
- Contact details
- Gambling Authority they are licensed under
- License Number
