Cat Casino review: offshore and not on the GB register
CatCasino is an offshore casino reported to hold a Curacao licence and does not appear on the Gambling Commission register.
Our verdict
No GB licenceCatCasino is an offshore casino reported to hold a Curacao licence; it has no Gambling Commission licence and is not licensed for Great Britain.
Worth knowing
- No Gambling Commission licence or register entry
- Not part of GAMSTOP
- No UK stake limits or wagering cap
- No approved ADR provider
CatCasino cannot lawfully offer gambling to customers in Great Britain, because it holds no Gambling Commission licence. Review sites describe it as an offshore online casino established in 2021 and licensed in Curacao. What follows is a short Cat Casino review of that position and of what to do if you already use the site.

A licence reported second-hand
The Curacao licence comes from review sites, not from a licence number you can look up. That matters less than it seems: even a confirmed Curacao licence would not authorise CatCasino to serve Great Britain. The check that counts is the account number in a site's footer, matched to an Active entry on the Gambling Commission register that lists the site's domain.
Why a Cat Casino review ends at GB law
The Gambling Act 2005 makes it an offence to provide gambling to people in Great Britain without a Commission licence, and the rule has applied to remote operators based abroad since 1 November 2014. A Curacao licence does not satisfy it. With no register entry, CatCasino brings none of the GB safeguards: no GAMSTOP link, no required age check before play, no £5 slot stake limit (£2 for 18 to 24 year olds), no 10x bonus wagering cap, no credit-card ban and no approved ADR provider.
Stepping away from an existing account
- Record your balance and keep copies of any messages with the site.
- Do not deposit again to unlock a withdrawal or meet a new condition.
- Install blocking software such as Gamban; callers to the National Gambling Helpline can get it free.
- Register with GAMSTOP for licensed sites, so the gap is not filled elsewhere (see how GAMSTOP works).
A GB-licensed casino must answer complaints and refer deadlocks to free ADR; the complaints guide explains that route, which an offshore site does not offer.

Questions readers ask
Does CatCasino hold any licence?
Review sites report a Curacao licence. It has no Gambling Commission licence, so it is not authorised to serve players in Great Britain.
When did CatCasino launch?
Review sites give 2021 as the year it was established. Its age has no bearing on the licence position: it is not on the GB register.
Does GAMSTOP cover CatCasino?
No. GAMSTOP covers Commission-licensed sites only. Blocking software such as Gamban can stop an unlicensed site like CatCasino opening on your devices.
