About UKGC Licensing
The UK Gambling Commission is the statutory regulator for commercial gambling in Great Britain. Operators wishing to offer online gambling services to customers in Great Britain must hold a remote operating licence issued by the Commission. This licence requires operators to comply with detailed conditions covering advertising, player verification, responsible gambling tools, and the protection of player funds.
Fathom covers only operators that hold an active UKGC remote operating licence, verified in the Commission's public register before any editorial content is published. We are not a gambling operator — we do not accept bets, deposits, or any payments. Learn more about how we work →

Licence Confirmation
UKGC licence verified before any editorial coverage begins. Licence number and legal entity documented.
Platform Assessment
We examine the operator's game catalogue, live offering, mobile experience, and navigation — without an account requirement.
Deposit & Withdrawal
Available payment methods are reviewed for accessibility to UK players, including processing times as declared by the operator.
Support Channels
Customer support availability, response channels, and the accessibility of responsible gambling tools within the platform are assessed.
FAQ
Are the operators listed here legal to use in the UK?
Yes. Every operator featured on Fathom holds an active licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission. We verify the licence status in the Commission's public register before publishing any editorial content. You can also check any operator's licence directly at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.
Does Fathom accept bets or deposits?
No. Fathom is an independent editorial resource. We do not accept bets, deposits, or any form of payment. All gambling takes place on the licensed operators' own platforms.
How do I verify a UKGC licence?
Visit gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register and search for the operator by name or licence number. Each operator's page on this site includes their licence number and a direct link to their public register entry.
