Casino licences and how to check them

Who issues it

The commission is set up by the Tobique Gaming Act 2023 of Tobique First Nation, whose purpose includes "to establish the ‘Tobique Gaming Commission’" to issue licences for gaming "based in and offered from within the Territory". The Act rests on the First Nation's "inherent right to self-government as recognized and affirmed by Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982" (Act version 2.0, read 16 Oct 2026).

Its site states that it "is now ready to accept applications from Foreign Online Gaming Operators"; the Apply buttons lead to dlagglobal.com (thetgc.ca, read 16 Oct 2026).

The register

The License Holders list on thetgc.ca has three columns: company name, licence expiration date and licence type (B2C or B2B). It shows no licence numbers, no domains or brand names and no issue dates, and carries no update date (read 16 Oct 2026).

Because Tobique publishes no numbers, a number a casino writes cannot be matched with the regulator; on Casino Snoop it is shown as stated by the casino. Many companies in the list are named only by a registration number such as 3-102-919484 S.R.L, so a brand cannot be found there by name.

A separate Fraudulent Sites page lists sites the commission says are "currently displaying fraudulent information suggesting they are licensed by the Tobique Gaming Commission", with the date of discovery. No casino in our catalogue was in it on 16 Oct 2026.

How to check a licence

1. Find the Tobique seal in the casino's footer. The commission states that "all legitimate Tobique Shields will show the link validate.thetgc.ca".
2. Click the seal on the casino's own address. The validation page names the company, its address and the "Registered Website(s)", and shows "VALID" or "INVALID".
3. Check that the address in your browser is among the Registered Website(s).
4. Find the company in the License Holders list for the expiry date and the licence type.
5. Check the domain against the Fraudulent Sites list.

Who issues it

The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) regulates online gaming under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), in force since 24 Dec 2024; it began the reform of the online regime in November 2023 (cga.cw, read 16 Oct 2026). Its earlier name, Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB), is still on licence certificates and on the cga.cw home page title, and licence plates on Casino Snoop read "Curaçao (GCB)".

The CGA register lists "Licenses Granted under the New Online Gaming Policy (Effective November 15, 2023)" (file of 14 Oct 2026); master-licence numbers of the earlier regime, such as 8048/JAZ or 365/JAZ, are not in it.

The register

The License register page on cga.cw links PDF files: online gaming licences, certificates and an enforcement register. The licence file read on 16 Oct 2026 was dated 14 Oct 2026. It gives licence number (OGL/… or CGA/…), licensee, B2C or B2B, company registration number, issue and expiry dates and status, but no domains.

The page states that these overviews "do not guarantee the current validity of the licenses" and that "no rights can be derived from these overviews".

Domains are tied to a licence only on the CGA portal, cert.cga.cw: a certificate page for one domain and a licence page listing "Approved domains". On 07 Oct 2026 the CGA announced that "its current online gaming portal will not be returned to service" and that this "does not affect the validity of existing licenses".

The CGA added that, as "the availability of the current digital seal will be affected", it "will shortly introduce an alternative mechanism through which operators can demonstrate that a domain is licensed by the CGA". On 16 Oct 2026 the cga.cw home page read "The CGA online gaming portal is offline", while two licence pages on cert.cga.cw still answered "License status: Active".

How to check a licence

1. Find the licence number (OGL/… or CGA/…) and the company name in the casino's footer or terms.
2. Find the number in the Online Gaming License Registry PDF on the CGA License register page: licensee, issue and expiry dates, status.
3. If the casino's seal opens a certificate page on cert.cga.cw, compare the domain it names with the address in your browser; the licence page there lists the "Approved domains".
4. Check the company in the Enforcement register on the same CGA page.

A master-licence number such as 8048/JAZ belongs to the regime before the reform and is not in the CGA register. The portal and the PDF can show different dates or status for the same licence, and a seal on a newer address can lead to the certificate of an older domain.

Who issues it

Anjouan Gaming describes itself as "the designated regulatory authority for the licensing and supervision of internet gaming operations under the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan", Union of the Comoros. Its site names the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority as governing authority and the Anjouan Gaming Board as supervisory board; licences are B2C and B2B (anjouangaming.com, read 16 Oct 2026).

The register

The License Register gives company, status, licence number (ALSI-…), type, issue and expiry dates and domains. It carries no update date; the Registry Disclaimer says the register "is updated periodically and may not reflect changes that have occurred since the most recent update".

A domain in the register "has been notified to the Authority as associated with licensed activities"; the disclaimer adds that this "does not confirm ownership of the domain, trademark, or any associated intellectual property". Some records list no domain. Suspended and revoked licences are on separate pages, both empty when read on 16 Oct 2026.

How to check a licence

1. Find the ALSI-… number and the company in the casino's footer or terms. Anjouan's seal policy says "The seal must link to the operator's official verification page in the public register".
2. Open the License Register on anjouangaming.com and find the company: status, type, issue and expiry dates.
3. Check that the casino's own domain is in that company's domain list. A number alone can belong to another brand of the same company.
4. Check the Suspended Licences and Revoked Licences pages.

Who issues it

The Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission is the "licensing and regulating authority for gaming activity within and from the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawà:ke", which it places "just outside Montréal, Québec, Canada" (gamingcommission.ca, read 16 Oct 2026).

An online casino holds a Client Provider Authorization (CPA), and "A CPA holder must be hosted at the hosting facility that holds the IGL" (Interactive Gaming Licence); "Since 1999, Mohawk Internet Technologies has held the sole IGL issued by the Commission." (Permit Holders, read 16 Oct 2026.)

The register

The Permit Holders page lists operators and their URLs, with the note "Updated September 28, 2023", unchanged when read on 16 Oct 2026. It gives no permit numbers, no dates and no status per row, and states that "not all URLs are accessible in all jurisdictions".

The list shows no suspensions; on 16 Oct 2026 the commission's home page carried an advisory notice of 06 Oct 2026 on a CPA suspended effective 29 Sep 2026.

How to check a licence

1. Look for the commission's name or logo in the casino's footer; usually there is no number. The commission says its logo lets players "verify that a site bearing the Commission's logo is properly licensed – by simply clicking on the logo itself".
2. Open Permit Holders on gamingcommission.ca and search the page for the casino's address.
3. Note the operator in the same row: the permit is issued to the company, and the brand is found by its URL.
4. Check the advisory notices on the commission's home page for a suspension of that company.

A licence plate shows what a casino states about its licence: the regulator, and the number or holder as the casino writes them. A plate marked "Found in the regulator register" means the regulator's register names the casino's domain, while the casino's own pages do not name that licence.

Verified or Unverified is the status of our check of that row, with its date; it is not a rating of the licence or of the regulator. How we check is set out in our editorial approach; what Australian law says is on Australian law and ACMA.
