Kings Chip Casino review: no UK licence, outside GAMSTOP
The Kings Chip targets UK players outside GAMSTOP on the strength of a Curacao master licence. It has no Gambling Commission licence.
Our verdict
No GB licenceThe Kings Chip cites a Curacao master licence and markets to UK players outside GAMSTOP; it holds no Gambling Commission licence.
Worth knowing
- Markets to GB players outside GAMSTOP
- No UK age, stake or wagering rules
- No approved ADR provider or Commission oversight
The Kings Chip, often searched as Kings Chip Casino, has no Gambling Commission licence, yet it openly courts UK players looking for casinos not on GAMSTOP. Its site names The Kings Chip LTD as owner and cites Curacao master licence 34389464EU; the Commission register has no entry for it.
A brand that sells itself on sitting outside self-exclusion is a warning sign rather than a feature, and this Kings Chip Casino review explains why. It is written for adults aged 18 and over in Great Britain.

Why outside GAMSTOP means outside the law
Every online operator licensed by the Commission has had to take part in GAMSTOP since 31 March 2020. A site that accepts British players while standing outside the scheme cannot, by definition, hold a GB licence. Offering gambling to people in Great Britain without one is an offence under the Gambling Act 2005. The Commission describes "not on GAMSTOP" as a label used to reach people who have self-excluded, and says such sites often target vulnerable customers.
Without a licence, none of the British rules apply: no age and ID verification before play, no £5 slot stake limit, no 10x wagering cap, no approved ADR provider and no Commission oversight of the operator. The Commission adds that payouts can be blocked and personal data put at risk.
If you have self-excluded and found this site
Many people who have used GAMSTOP later come across sites like this; the Commission's own survey suggests how widespread that is, and it is not a personal failing. Your exclusion still stands with every licensed operator. To keep offshore sites out of reach as well, GamCare points to blocking software such as Gamban, and helpline callers can get free access through its TalkBanStop partnership. How GAMSTOP works explains the periods and why an exclusion does not end on its own.

Questions readers ask
Can UK players lawfully use The Kings Chip?
No. It cites a Curacao master licence and holds no Gambling Commission licence, so it cannot lawfully offer gambling to anyone in Great Britain.
Is there a Kings Chip Casino no deposit bonus?
Its offers are not described here. The Commission says sites marketed as outside GAMSTOP often target self-excluded and vulnerable customers, and their bonus terms carry none of the UK rules.
Can a GAMSTOP exclusion be lifted early?
No. It cannot be removed during the minimum period. After that it ends only when you ask GAMSTOP, with a cooling-off period of at least 24 hours.
