United Kingdom
Regulated UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)
The UK has an open licensing model overseen by the UK Gambling Commission. Its official business register listed 2,664 records in the 4 August 2026 snapshot. A business record is not the same as a consumer-facing brand, so iGaming Atlas also matches active domains and trading names before assigning a brand-level status.
