To verify a vendor's license
How to check the license of a casino software provider
Introduction
A provider's license is the main indicator of its legality and reliability. Without a license from a reputable regulatory body, software cannot be considered safe and honest. Players risk facing fakes, and casinos risk losing audience confidence. Checking the developer's license is an important step to distinguish bona fide companies from shadow structures.
1. What licenses do providers have?
The main regulators that issue licenses to developers and suppliers are:
2. Where and how to check your license
Official registries
Each regulator maintains a public register of licensed companies. Checking usually comes down to searching by name or registration number:
On the provider's website
Reliable developers indicate the license number and logo of the regulatory body in the basement (footer) of their site. Clicking on the logo should lead to the license page in the official register.
Through aggregators and casinos
Many large aggregators (EveryMatrix, SoftSwiss, Slotegrator) publish lists of certified partners. Also, licensed casinos are required to cooperate only with certified suppliers.
3. What to look for when checking
Data match - the company name and license number must match the registry information;
License validity - the license can be suspended or revoked, this is indicated in the registry;
Jurisdiction - the presence of a license from a serious regulator (MGA, UKGC) is valued higher than Curacao;
Validity - many licenses require regular renewals;
RNG certificates - in addition to the license, it is worth checking for certificates from eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI.
4. Signs of a fake license
There is a license logo, but it is not clickable;
The license number is indicated, which is not in the official register;
The provider is registered in a jurisdiction that does not regulate gambling at all;
Contact or company address mismatch.
5. Why check your license
For players, this is a guarantee of fair play, correct RTP and RNG operation;
For casinos - protection from legal problems and the ability to work with large payment systems;
For the industry - support for transparency and trust in online gaming.
Result
Checking the provider's license is a simple but important process. It is enough to check the data on the company's website with the official registers to make sure that the supplier is legal and reliable. For players, this is a guarantee of fair play, and for operators, confidence in a partner.
