The types of online casino licenses - Choose reliable license

All casino sites by licenses

Where and why casinos should be licensed?

All online casinos should be licensed in order to ensure that they are operating within the law and to protect the public from any potential criminal activity that may take place on the premises. Licensing also allows casinos to be monitored and regulated to ensure that they are providing a safe, fair, and honest gaming environment for all customers. Additionally, licensing helps to ensure that casinos are paying their taxes in a timely manner and that all staff members are properly trained and qualified.

Less known gambling licenses

Every country has its own authorities that regulate gambling licenses. This authority defines the requirements for getting a license. For example, Malta Gaming Authority works from Malta, UK Gambling Commission from the United Kingdom and Estonia’s authority is the Estonian Tax and Customs Board.

It’s easy to see that licenses from Malta and the United Kingdom are the most popular ones. Most of the casinos working in Europe are being regulated by these two. There are other reliable licenses mentioned in this article too, however. For example, there is Curacao, which obviously works outside the EU and has a bit less strict requirements for a license. Though all the licenses mentioned in this article are reliable, we still consider European licenses to be the best option for European players.

Some commissions pass out licenses more readily with less strict rules and laws than the European ones. But European licenses are the strictest ones in the world. But online casinos operating with non-European licenses can still be safe and reliable. But if you bump into a commission you have never even heard of, you probably should change your direction to a better-known casino with a good reputation.

There are a few more exotic gambling authorities too such as Costa Rica, Aruba, and Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Many of us might have encountered these licenses, but they are not that regular on the European market compared to the ones that we have previously mentioned in this article.
