Licence

The size and shape of a welcome package depends on the regulator behind the operator, which is why the same brand advertises differently in different countries.

Sites serving consumers in Great Britain need a Gambling Commission licence; Northern Ireland has separate legislation. The section covers non-UKGC operators, offshore and international brands and the Malta, Gibraltar, Curaçao and Anjouan licences.

Off the licensed market the headline figures grow and the protections shrink: no GAMSTOP, no British dispute scheme. With a large package in play, that is the trade being made.
