Casinos licensed offshore, checked and recorded
Most of these sites operate on licences from Anjouan, Curaçao and Costa Rica, so the big regulators do not check them. We do. 5,122 casinos tracked, 4,684 of them holding no licence from a major regulator, the 4,868 that publish an address requested every morning, and we publish what we find whether it flatters them or not.
The short answer
Of 5,122 casinos we track, 2,610 hold a licence the issuing regulator records in its own files, against that address for all but a handful.
Secondary routes into the same 5,122 casinos.
- All offshore casinos The full list, ordered by how much of each one we can actually check.
- Newest sites What launched most recently, newest first. New means un-vetted, and the page says so.
- Expired licences Sites showing a licence their own regulator lists as valid, past its expiry date.
- Same owner, different name Casinos sharing one licence number. Most sites present them as unrelated.

See the list →What the licence registers actually say

Read the method and the table →661 Curaçao licences, 272 already past their printed expiry
The authority's own register, counted against the date printed on it. 41 per cent carried an expiry that had already passed on the day it was published, while shown as something other than expired.

Our method →Why another casino site
Because not one of them tells you when it last looked. A rating with no date on it is someone's memory of a site they visited once. We request every casino in the list that publishes an address, each morning, and keep a log of what moved.
We have not tested any withdrawals yet. That work is starting: deposit real money, ask for it back, time it. Until a brand has been through that, its page says so and the section stays blank. We would rather show you an empty box than a number we made up.
