Uganda legal and licence desk

A brand name is not the licence holder.

The useful check joins five fields: trade name, legal operator, exact domain, licence class and mode of operation.

How to read the current notice

  1. Start at the regulator. Open the NLGRB licensed-companies page and use the current year.
  2. Match the company. The legal operator can differ completely from the trade name on the screen.
  3. Match the exact domain. A similar spelling, different country path or generic international site is not automatically the same record.
  4. Read the class. General betting, casino, software and machine licences cover different activities.
  5. Read the mode. A listed website beside a land-based permission is not proof of online authorisation.
Age check: the consolidated Lotteries and Gaming Act defines a minor as a person below 25.
