Bitguruz review: crypto casino without a UK licence

Bitguruz is marketed to UK players but holds no Gambling Commission licence; published reviews cite an Anjouan licence held by Guruz Group LTD.

By Eleanor Hartley, editor Checked on 2 November 2026

Our verdict

No GB licence

Bitguruz is reported to hold an Anjouan licence through Guruz Group LTD and has no Gambling Commission licence, so it is not legal for GB players.

Worth knowing

No Gambling Commission licence
Not part of GAMSTOP
Crypto payments outside UK protections
No approved ADR provider

Bitguruz is a crypto-friendly casino launched in 2024 and marketed to UK players, but it holds no Gambling Commission licence and is not part of GAMSTOP. Published reviews report that Bitguruz casino is owned by Guruz Group LTD under an Anjouan gambling licence.

Bitguruz review: Anjouan, not Great Britain

The register files of 2 November 2026 contain nothing for "guruz" in the business, trading name or domain lists. A licence from Anjouan has no effect in Great Britain: the Gambling Act 2005 makes it an offence to provide remote gambling used here without a Commission licence. A brand that is marketed to UK players and is not on GAMSTOP is, by that fact alone, outside the GB system.

Why crypto adds another layer of risk

The Gambling Commission treats cryptoassets as a high-risk payment method for money laundering. Crypto deposits are not a usual feature of GB-licensed casinos, and the Commission has said only that it may look at crypto payments after the FCA regime starts, expected on 25 October 2027. A crypto-only site that accepts GB players is, by definition, unlicensed for Great Britain. Funds sent this way sit beyond UK payment protections, and the Commission warns that unlicensed sites may block payouts or set withdrawal limits too high to reach.

Many people search for a Bitguruz promo code or no deposit bonus, but neither is listed here. None of the UK incentive rules would apply, including the cap of 10 times the bonus amount on wagering and the ban on mixed-product offers, and promoting unlicensed gambling to people in Great Britain can be an offence under section 330 of the Act. The rules that do apply to licensed offers are set out in UK casino bonus rules in 2026.

Sister sites and shared ownership

Sister sites are usually traced through a shared licence account on the register. Guruz Group LTD has no account, so there is no GB group behind Bitguruz to compare. Our sister sites section covers licensed groups only.

If you are self-excluded

A GAMSTOP exclusion blocks every GB-licensed site, and the Commission notes that sites outside the scheme often target people who have chosen to stop. If that is your situation, the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and open around the clock, and GamCare names Gamban as blocking software for phones and computers. Read more in our GAMSTOP guide and on the responsible gambling page. Gambling is only for people aged 18 and over.
