Legal UK Casino Sites

 

You will find it is the UK Gambling Commission that have been tasked with ensuring any online casino sites that target and promote themselves and their services to players living in Great Britain operate to the highest standards.

With this in mind should you be living or staying anywhere in the United Kingdom you are strongly advised only to play at online casinos that are displaying a UK Gambling Commission approved logo or gambling license on their site as you will be afforded the highest levels of protection when you play at such sites.

 

Legal US Casino Sites

 

There are currently only three US States where you are going to be able to play at a licensed US online casino site, these are Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada, and as such anyone in one of those three States will have no problems locating and playing at a legally licensed casino.

Should you live in any other US State then do be aware that you will still find online casinos that offer you access to their real money and free play casino games, but those casinos will be based offshore, and as such you are advised to ensure any such casino site you choose to play at holds a gambling license somewhere, as not all of them are licensed and regulated.

 

Legal Australian Casino Sites

 

Australian online casino game players have always had a large range of online casinos to pick and choose from, and whilst there is no gambling commission or regulatory authority solely dedicated to licensing and regulating online casinos in Australia you will find many casinos based in other countries do offer licensed and regulated casino sites.

 

If you do live in Australia then always make sure that any casino you choose to play online will allow you to play their games using Australian Dollars as your casino account currency and that each site you do play at is licensed by a well known and respected gambling commission or authority, ideally in a country you have heard of.

 

Legal Canadian Casino Sites

 

Lots of our website visitors are from Canada and as such we do know a lot of people living in Canada do enjoy gambling at online casino sites, and in fact there are a huge number of casinos that target and market their sites to Canadian casino players.

 

Much like many other countries of the world there are no online casinos that hold a Canada issued gambling license as there is, at this moment in time, no legal framework for online gambling site regulation in Canada.

 

But with many Commonwealth countries such as the UK issuing online gambling licenses you will have no problems locating such a site that will offer you fair games, fast payouts and sites that adhere to strict rules and regulations which ensures when you do choose to sing up to those sites you will never experience any type of problems, which sadly you will often do if you choose to gamble at an online casino

 

Legal South African Casino Sites

 

You are only going to find licensed and regulated online betting sites that have been issued with a gambling license in South Africa, for at this moment in time there are no frameworks or structures in place to offer players living or residing in South Africa access to licensed sites that the South African Government have licensed or have deemed to be legal.

So do be aware that unless you choose to gamble at an online casino licensed in any Commonwealth country you will run the risk of possibly experience all manner of problems playing at such sites, and therefore always look out for online casinos that holds for example a UK gambling Commission issued gambling license, as hose sites adhere to a very strict code of conduct and are highly regulated.

If you are currently living and/or residing in a country no listed above then please ensure that the online casinos you do choose to gamble at are licensed in your current country of residence.

If the country you are in has no established online gambling laws or regulations then please be aware that you are only going to have the maximum player protection if you sign up to and gamble at an online casino that is listened, so consider join a casino licensed in one of the above countries instead of simply singing up to the first casino you come across, as that casino may not be licensed anywhere and may not even offer certified fair ad random casino games!
