What the licence means for you
A Gambling Commission licence binds LeoVegas to UK rules on age and identity checks, safer gambling tools, fair terms and the 10x wagering cap on bonuses. If a complaint with LeoVegas is not resolved, you can take it to IBAS, the independent dispute service named in the LeoVegas terms. LeoVegas only serves customers located in the United Kingdom under these terms; using a VPN from elsewhere is a prohibited practice under section 10.2.
Our assessment
LeoVegas's licensing is as strong as it gets for a UK online casino: a long-standing, active UKGC licence held by an identifiable Maltese company inside the MGM Resorts International group. The one weaker point is fund protection, rated medium: player balances are kept separate from business accounts, but the arrangement is not the Commission's highest tier.
