When you compare ten online casinos, you are rarely comparing ten companies. The Gambling Commission's register publishes the licence holder behind every domain, and it shows what no casino homepage puts above the fold: the same company runs many brands, on the same platform, with the same backing and often the same support desk.
The concentration, measured
On 15 September 2026, among holders of an active remote casino licence with a recorded domain:
| Licence holder | Active domains |
|---|---|
| Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited | 74 |
| Skill On Net Limited | 40 |
| Apollo Entertainment Limited | 27 |
| Boylesports Enterprise | 21 |
| ProgressPlay Limited | 20 |
| Jumpman Gaming Limited | 18 |
| 888 UK Limited | 16 |
| LC International Limited | 13 |
104 licence holders with a recorded domain cover 501 domains and 276 trading names — an average of 4.8 domains each.
What that does to a "top 10"
The variety is smaller than it looks. Ten open tabs can be four platforms. Switching brands inside the same group changes the skin, not the operator.
Problems are inherited across brands. Enforcement action, a licence condition or a policy change lands on the holder, and therefore on all of its brands at once.
The backing you are relying on belongs to the company. If what concerns you is who answers for a withdrawal, the name that matters is the licence holder's, not the logo's.
The same pattern in Peru
Peru's MINCETUR register publishes the licence holder's full legal name too, and the pattern repeats at smaller scale: La Tinka S.A. holds authorisations for teapuesto.pe and olimpo.bet; SFTG Limited holds betsson.pe and betsafe.pe. The Spanish-language extract is at mejores casinos online en Perú.
How to check it
Search the domain in the public register, open the holder's entry, and read its domains and trading names. Then search the holder's name to see everything else it runs. The full extract is at best online casinos.
FAQs
How do I find out who owns an online casino?
Search its domain in the Gambling Commission's public register and read the licence holder's name, then open that holder to see every other domain and trading name recorded against the same licence.
How many brands does one licensed company usually run?
Among British remote casino licence holders with a recorded domain, the average was 4.8 domains each on 15 September 2026. The largest carried 74.
Does it matter that several casinos share one owner?
It matters for two reasons: regulatory action lands on the holder and affects all its brands at once, and comparing brands from the same group is not really comparing alternatives.
What this has to do with our work
Anyone running an affiliate programme needs to know that ten brands can be four licence holders: enforcement against the holder reaches every brand it carries, and every revenue-share deal attached to them. That is why the register is the first check in our affiliate marketing work.
