UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)

Why we focus on UKGC-licensed casinos

Quiet Signal Workshop only highlights UK-facing brands that, to the best of our knowledge, hold a licence from the UKGC. A UKGC licence means the operator must work within rules on player protection, fairness, advertising and the handling of customer funds.

• Operators must verify that customers are 18 or older.
• They must offer tools such as limits, time-outs and self-exclusion to help manage play.
• They must present information about games and promotions in a clear and accurate way.
• They can face sanctions, fines or licence removal if they fail to meet regulatory standards.

We are not part of the UKGC and cannot provide official guidance. For authoritative information, always refer to the UK Gambling Commission’s own website and public register.

How to check a licence yourself

If you want to verify that an operator is licensed, you should:

• Look for licence details and the UKGC logo in the footer of the operator’s website.
• Follow the link to the official UK Gambling Commission licence register.
• Confirm that the company name and website address match the entry on the register.

Licence status can change over time. Even if we have previously seen an operator on the register, you should rely on the UKGC’s own listing for the most current information.

A reminder about risk

A UKGC licence is an important protection, but it does not remove the financial and emotional risks of gambling. You can still lose money quickly, and gambling can be harmful if it stops being occasional entertainment. Never view regulation as a guarantee of profit or a promise that you will “win”.
