What is Regulators?

In short

The public bodies that license a gambling operator and set the rules it must follow.

A regulator is a public authority that licenses a gambling operator and enforces the rules it must meet, covering player funds, fair games and complaint handling. A licence is granted by a regulator, so checking the name on the register is a quicker way to judge a brand than reading its marketing. The set of regulators a brand lists can also show how many markets it serves. 10Bet lists Great Britain Gambling Commission, Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland and Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen), while 1xBet Partners lists Curacao and Office of the Revenue Commissioners. A single listed regulator means a single market, and licence terms differ between jurisdictions. Gambling is for adults only.
