Brands with only offshore licences
We call a licence offshore when the regulator licenses sites for players in other countries and is not a national regulator of the players' market: Curaçao, Anjouan, Kahnawake and Tobique. 479 brands (18%) hold only such licences in our data (Curaçao: 81, Anjouan: 337, Kahnawake: 61, Tobique: 43; one brand can hold two). Another 190 brands show no licence in our data. A brand with any national licence (for example UKGC or MGA) is not in this count.

Brands without a known owner
For 138 brands (5%) we could not identify the owner group. For 125 of them we know the licensed company from a register or the site's terms, but not the group or the people behind it. The most common licences among these brands are Kenya (30), Peru MINCETUR (30) and Uganda (18). 9 hold only offshore licences, 14 show no licence at all, and 5 are sweepstakes casinos.
Why is the owner not known? A licence register names the licensed company. It does not always name the group or the people behind it. In addition, 571 private top owner groups do not publish their owners. Their brands are in the counts above, under the group name.

How we count
- A brand is one brand family: the same brand on several country domains (betfair.com and betfair.it) counts once. Closed brands count too. Review sites are not brands. Our data has 3,323 websites for the 2,674 brands.
- A top owner group is the highest company in the owner chain that is not an investment fund. A fund owns unrelated companies, so we count the operating group under it. Our data has 933 owner groups (parent and sub-groups counted separately); 894 of them are top owner groups (the highest operating company in each owner chain, never an investment fund). The owners list shows all 933 owner groups, because it also lists sub-groups and white-label platforms on their own rows.
- Own brands and white-label sites: a group's brands are the brands it owns. Sites that it runs for another brand owner are white-label sites and count apart.
- Type: from the ownership text of each group. Listed = shares on a stock exchange (ticker from our data). State = owned by a state, a government or a tribal government. Private = every other group, also groups whose owners are not published.
- Markets: the regulator counts are the same as on each regulator page: a brand counts once per regulator, under its top owner group.
- Sources: licence registers, company filings and the sites' own terms. Each owner page shows the source and a confidence level for each link. It is not every casino in the world. Every "largest" on this page means the largest in our data.
