Licence and what it means for you
The UK site now runs under Platinum Gaming Limited, UK Gambling Commission account 45322. The older 32Red Limited licence entry is inactive, so checks and complaints for British players go through Platinum Gaming. UK rules on identity checks, safer-gambling tools and complaints apply. The UK licence does not cover 32Red's players in Romania. We could not confirm where Platinum Gaming Limited is based.
