Companies holding an active remote casino licence

Why the brand count and the licence count are so different
The single most useful thing on this page is the gap between two numbers: 142 companies hold an active remote casino licence, but there are thousands of casino brands marketed to UK players. Those aren't thousands of companies — they're skins. One licensed operator can run hundreds of differently-branded front ends against a single licence, and two "rival" casinos are routinely the same platform, the same games and the same terms in different colours.
Jumpman Gaming lists 229 domains against one licence; ProgressPlay lists 191. Meanwhile the median licensee lists exactly one. The market looks far more competitive from the outside than it is from the inside — which is worth knowing before you "shop around".
More than a third of listed domains are dead
805 of the 2,242 domains on the register are marked inactive — brands that launched, ran and were retired. White-label sites are cheap to start and cheap to close, so churn is constant.
