Are you actually spreading your risk?
Holding accounts at several casinos feels like spreading your exposure. Often it is not. Tick the ones you use and see how many companies you are really dealing with.
That is the whole point of the tool in one ratio: the 139 brands you can choose between run on 48 licences, and nothing on any of their sites tells you which of your accounts share one.

01 What sharing a licence actually shares
A gambling licence is issued to a company, not to a website, and almost everything a player experiences is attached to the licence rather than to the brand above the door. Two casinos on one account will normally run the same platform, so the games, the cashier and the account screens are the same software wearing different paint. They publish the same terms, because the terms are the company's. They share a verification team, so uploading your documents to one is often the same queue as uploading them to the other. And they share a complaints route: the same dispute service, reached the same way, staffed by the same people.
That is why the count this tool produces is worth having. Four accounts at four brands that turn out to be two companies is not four independent relationships with two surprises in it — it is two relationships you thought were four.
02 The scale of it, and why it is invisible
Of the 139 British casino brands we hold records for, 112 — 81% — share their licence with at least one rival brand on the same list. The largest single group here is White Hat Gaming Limited, with 19 brands on one account.
None of this is hidden in the legal sense. Every one of those companies names itself in its footer, as it must, and the register is public and free. It is invisible in the practical sense: the information is spread across as many footers as you have accounts, written in the smallest type on the page, and the connection only exists once you have collected all of them and compared. That collecting is the entire work this tool does.
03 What the number is not
It is a floor, not a total. The tool knows the 139 brands in its list, so if you hold accounts anywhere outside that set your real company count is at least what it says and possibly higher. It also stops at counting. A company behind four brands is not doing anything improper and this is not a safety score — several of the largest groups in the list are among the longest licensed in the country.
What it changes is what you think you have. If the reason you opened accounts at four casinos was to avoid having everything in one place, the count tells you whether that worked. What you do about it is yours; the tool has no opinion and offers no alternative.
How this works, and why it is here

What it does when you press the button
- Takes the casinos you ticked and looks up the Gambling Commission account number behind each one.
- Groups them by that account number. Two brands on the same account are one company, whatever the two websites look like.
- Counts the groups. That count, not the number of casinos, is how many businesses are holding your money.
- Marks any group holding more than one of your accounts, and names the company.
Why it exists
Opening accounts at several casinos is the obvious way to avoid having everything with one firm, and it often does not work: the 139 British brands we hold records for run on only 48 licences. Nothing on a casino's own site tells you which company is behind it, so the grouping is invisible from the outside — the register shows it, one brand at a time, which is not a check anyone does across six accounts.
What it cannot tell you
It only knows the 139 brands in the list, so if you hold accounts elsewhere the company count is a floor rather than a total. It also says nothing about how safe any of these companies are: one company behind four brands is not a warning in itself, it is simply a different picture from the one most people assume they have.
Questions about this tool
4 answers
01 What does sharing a licence actually share?
The platform, the published terms, the verification queue and the complaints route — which is most of what a player experiences. Two casinos on one account are usually the same software wearing different paint, answering to the same people.
02 Is a shared licence a warning?
No. Large licensed groups are the ordinary shape of this market and a company running twelve brands is doing nothing improper. What the count changes is what you think you have: if you opened four accounts to avoid having everything in one place, it tells you whether that worked.
03 Why might my real company count be higher?
Because the tool knows the 139 brands in its list. If you hold accounts outside that set, the number it gives is a floor rather than a total.
04 Where does the grouping come from?
The Gambling Commission public register: each brand is matched to the account number of the company licensed to run it, and brands sharing an account are grouped. Every result links to that company's own register entry.
