FatBet review: a casino brand without a UK licence

Is FatBet casino legal for players in Great Britain? No: there is no Gambling Commission licence under the FatBet name, and no account, trading name or domain for it appears on the register. This FatBet review explains what is known about the brand, why it carries a "No GB licence" stamp and what that means if you came across it while looking for a casino.

Curacao on paper, two different company names

FatBet is presented on review pages as a casino and sportsbook for UK and Australian players. Those pages say it runs under a Curacao eGaming licence, yet no licence number is published, and different pages name different operators: SSC Entertainment N.V. in one place, CloudTech Gambling B.V. in another. The brand also has no single stable home. The fatbet.com address forwards visitors to an affiliate review site, while the FatBet name turns up on a series of changing addresses.

A shifting address and an unclear owner are exactly the signs the Gambling Commission links to illegal operators, which use domain rotation to stay ahead of blocking.

What changes for a GB player at FatBet

Offering remote gambling to people in Great Britain without a Commission licence is an offence under the Gambling Act 2005, wherever the company is based. A Curacao licence does not replace it. In practice, a player at an unlicensed site has:

• no GAMSTOP link, so a national self-exclusion does not stop play there;
• no age and identity check required before a deposit, which licensed sites must run;
• no ban on gambling with a credit card, in place for GB licensees since 14 April 2020;
• no free ADR service if a withdrawal is refused or an account is closed.

Why there is no FatBet promo code on this page

Searches for a FatBet promo code, no deposit bonus or free spins are common. This site does not publish offers, codes or sign-up steps for unlicensed brands: advertising unlawful gambling is an offence under section 330 of the Gambling Act 2005, and an offer is only as good as the business that has to honour it. On licensed sites, bonus wagering is capped at 10 times the bonus amount from 19 January 2026, and every offer must state its significant terms. Our guide to UK bonus rules in 2026 sets those rules out.

Checking a brand before you hand over any money

A licensed site states its account number in the footer. You can confirm it on the Commission's public register by name, domain or number; the steps are in our licence check guide. If nothing matches, treat the site as unlicensed.

You must be 18 or over to gamble. If gambling is costing more than you can afford, the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) is free and open around the clock, and our responsible gambling page lists further support.
