Great Britain Sports Betting Licensing and Technical Requirements

01

UKGC Licensing

Businesses providing remote betting facilities to consumers in Great Britain generally require the appropriate operating licence from the UK Gambling Commission . The required licence depends on the regulated activities performed by the business.

02

Gambling Software Licence

The Gambling Commission also regulates gambling software suppliers. A business that manufactures, supplies, installs or adapts gambling software may require a remote gambling software licence , depending on its activities. A software licence is separate from the operating licence required to provide betting facilities to consumers.

03

Technical Standards

Gambling software and remote operating licence holders must comply with the UKGC’s Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards and applicable testing requirements. The standards cover areas including customer accounts, transactions, financial limits, in-play betting, third-party software and information security.

04

Safer Gambling and Player Protection

Operators must implement appropriate safer-gambling and player-protection processes. Supporting technology may include age and identity verification workflows, customer account controls, financial limits, activity monitoring, audit records and tools that allow customers to manage or restrict their gambling.

05

Jurisdiction note

The UK Gambling Commission regulates commercial gambling in Great Britain—England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland has a separate legal framework, so businesses targeting customers there should obtain jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
