The UK Gambling Commission is the regulator responsible for licensing and supervising gambling
operators that offer services to customers in Great Britain. Celadon Paragon Studios does not
hold a gambling licence – we are an informational and advertising site that links out to
operators which state they are licensed by the UKGC.
What the UKGC does
The UK Gambling Commission is an independent regulator set up to oversee gambling in Great Britain.
It grants licences to operators, sets rules on how gambling should be offered, and can take action
if operators fail to meet regulatory standards.
Issues licences to remote and land-based gambling operators.
Sets conditions on how gambling products are advertised and promoted.
Requires operators to have safer-gambling tools and procedures in place.
Can investigate and sanction licensees that break the rules.
Checking licence details yourself
Before you sign up, deposit or play on any site, you should check the operator’s licence status
directly on the UKGC public register. This is the most reliable way to confirm who is behind a
brand and whether they are allowed to offer gambling to customers in Great Britain.
You can search the public register by operator name, brand or licence number:
Celadon Paragon Studios does not verify licences on behalf of the UKGC and cannot give
regulatory advice. Our notes are a general pointer only. Always rely on the official
public register and the operator’s own website for up-to-date licence information.
