Where To Report An Online Casino

✓ Short answer

To report an online casino, contact their licensing authority: Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) for MGA-licensed casinos, UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) for UKGC-licensed casinos, or Curacao eGaming for Curacao-licensed casinos. For disputes, use their ADR provider (IBAS, eCOGRA) first.

🏦 Where to report by license type

Licensing authority	Website	What they handle	Best for
Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)	mga.org.mt	License breaches, regulatory violations	Casinos with MGA license in footer
UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)	gamblingcommission.gov.uk	License breaches, unfair terms, underage gambling	Casinos with UKGC license (UK players only)
Curacao eGaming	curacao-egaming.com	License verification, complaints via sub-licensees	Casinos with Curacao license
IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service)	ibas-uk.com	Individual dispute resolution (free)	UKGC-licensed casinos, many MGA casinos
eCOGRA	ecogra.org	Dispute resolution for eCOGRA-certified casinos	Casinos with eCOGRA "Safe & Fair" seal

💡 Correct reporting process

Step 1: Identify the license: Scroll to casino footer, find license number and issuing authority (MGA, UKGC, Curacao).
Step 2: Contact casino support first: Report your issue directly to the casino and get a reference number — regulators expect you to try this first.
Step 3: Use ADR provider: If unresolved, contact the ADR provider listed in casino terms (IBAS, eCOGRA, The Pogg).
Step 4: Report to licensing authority: If ADR fails or the casino violated license terms, file a formal complaint with the regulator.
Step 5: Additional resources: For UK players, report to Gambling Commission for license breaches. For NZ players, report to Department of Internal Affairs for illegal operators.

🏆 Important notes:

Licensing authorities handle license breaches, not individual disputes. They will investigate if a casino violated its license terms (non-payment, unfair practices) but won't refund individual losses. For refunds, use the ADR process first.

🏆 NZ players:

If the casino is operating illegally in NZ (no license, targeting NZ players without compliance), report to the Department of Internal Affairs at dia.govt.nz. They investigate illegal gambling operators.

🏆 Complaint forums:

AskGamblers, CasinoMeister, and The Pogg offer public complaint sections where casinos often respond to resolve issues. Posting here can apply pressure and get results faster than official channels.
