Kingdom Casino licence — what Comoros regulation means

By Eleanor Vance · Updated 7 October 2026 · Independent guide, 18+

Kingdom Casino states a licence issued in the Comoros. Here is what that does and does not mean for someone playing from Great Britain.

What the licence is

The Union of the Comoros is among the jurisdictions that issue online gaming licences to operators serving international markets. It is one of several offshore jurisdictions, alongside places such as Curaçao, that license casinos which do not hold a licence in the countries where their players live. The licence gives the operator a legal basis and a regulator. It is not the same as being licensed where you are.

No Gambling Commission oversight

In Great Britain, operators that want to advertise to and serve British players under GB rules need a licence from the Gambling Commission. Kingdom Casino does not hold one. The Commission does not supervise it, cannot sanction it, and will not hear complaints about it.

GAMSTOP

GAMSTOP is the national self-exclusion scheme, and every GB-licensed online operator has to take part. Offshore operators do not. If you are self-excluded through GAMSTOP, it will not block you from this site. We would strongly ask you not to use an offshore casino to get round a self-exclusion you chose. The responsible gambling page lists blocks that do work across every site.

GB rules that do not apply

• The online slot stake limits of £5 a spin, or £2 for 18 to 24 year-olds.
• The ban on gambling with credit cards.
• The ban on slot features such as autoplay, bonus buys and spins faster than 2.5 seconds.
• GB rules on how bonuses may be structured and advertised.

None of this makes the site illegal for you to use. It means the safeguards those rules provide are your responsibility here.

Tax

Gambling winnings are not taxable for UK players, and that does not depend on where the operator is licensed. Interest or gains on crypto held outside a casino follow their own rules, which are a separate matter.

Complaints

Start with live chat, then ask for a formal complaint and a reference number. If that does not resolve it, the next step is the licensing authority named in the site footer. Keep screenshots, dates and chat transcripts from the start. Our customer support page sets out the steps.

How to check a licence

Scroll to the footer of the operator's site and look for the licence number and the name of the company that holds it. Where the regulator offers a validation seal or a public register, follow it and confirm the entry matches the domain you are on.
