UK Live Casinos

The Impact of Regulation

The net result of these two changes saw loads of Casino Operators leave the UK market. The ones that wished to remain had to apply for a licence and pay the Tax.

The regulations were introduced to provide greater player protection, but there are some that suggest it’s just another cash cow for the government.

If you’re a UK resident and play online you will have noticed some of the regulations creeping into the casino operations. While this list is not exhaustive (you can read more on the commissions’ website), it will give you a flavour of the changes:

• Stricter rules for KYC (Know your Customer)
• The removal of auto spins features on slot machines.
• Making it easier for players to self-exclude from playing.
• To set deposit limits.
• The ability to set play time reminders.

Is the change positive?

I’d say Yes. Regulation has to be a good thing if there is a central body deciding on a set of rules and then monitoring them.

While not everyone was a fan as some of the well-known brands just disappeared we have seen the regulations in action.

A number of operators have had their licenses suspended and fines dished out for non-compliance.

There is also a better framework in place for dealing with player complaints, with the development of a network of independent arbitrators being formed to provide this service.

Unfortunately, since the introduction, there have been a number of online casinos that have gone out of business.

Whilst the regulations required casinos to ring fence players monies for this very issue, the reality of being able to payout was different and most players lost their money.

UK Live Casinos for British Players

Not all Live Casino suppliers have UK Licenses. British players are therefore restricted to games from the operators below.

• Evolution Gaming – 8 Live Games streamed from Studios in Riga and Malta.
• MediaLive – 3 Live Games streamed from studios in Gibraltar.
• Playtech – 7 Games streamed from studios in Latvia & Philippines.
• NetEnt – 2 Games streamed from studios in Malta.
• Authentic Gaming – Live Streamed Roulette from land based casinos, inc the USA.

The UK market is something that I know the most about.

I’ve lived in the UK all my life and as you’ll see from my About page I have a real interest in Land Based and live casinos.

There are some casinos that don’t hold a UK License still targeting UK players. Most are based offshore and pay no tax to the government.

It’s not illegal to play at these sites, in fact, I have some of the more reputable ones listed on this site.

It’s up to the Commission to go after these casinos and censure them if they’re able.

So in my experience these are the best UK Live Casinos currently providing live casino games to UK residents.
