Sky Hills Casino review: unlicensed in Great Britain

Sky Hills Casino, which trades as SkyHills, is not on the Gambling Commission register and names no licence in its own terms. It is run by a company based in Curacao, and for a player in Great Britain that leaves no legal basis to use it and no GAMSTOP cover.

No link with the Sky brands

The name can mislead. Sky Vegas and Sky Bingo are licensed to Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, while the register files of 2 November 2026 hold no business, trading name or domain for SkyHills, Sky Hills, skyhills.com or skyhillscasino.com. The two are separate, and the British licence of one says nothing about the other.

What happened in the Netherlands

The Dutch state lottery, Nederlandse Loterij, took legal action against SkyHills as an unlicensed operator, after which the site went offline in the Netherlands. A regulator or licensed rival acting abroad is not a ruling about Great Britain, but it shows how the brand is viewed where it has been tested.

Terms that name no licence

The SkyHills terms say registration is open to adults in jurisdictions where online gambling is permitted. They name no licence, no regulator and no list of excluded countries. A GB licensee, by contrast, must show its Commission account number on the site, usually in the footer. When that statement is missing, there is nothing to check.

Sky Hills Casino review: the GB legal position

Under the Gambling Act 2005, providing remote gambling used in Great Britain without a Commission licence is an offence. For a player, the practical result is the absence of UK safeguards:

• no GAMSTOP link and no operator duty to respect a national self-exclusion;
• no £5 or £2 per-spin limit on slots;
• no 10x cap on bonus wagering and no clear-terms rule;
• no approved ADR provider and no Commission to contact about the operator.

The Commission adds that unlicensed sites often lack responsible gambling tools and may block payouts.

Before you trust a familiar-sounding name

Check the account number, the Active status, the Casino activity and the domain on the register. The licence check guide explains each field. For complaints about a GB licensee, see how to complain about a UK casino.
