Who is behind it

32Red is a UK casino brand inside Kindred Group, a Malta-based group that began as Unibet in 1997. Kindred has been a subsidiary of FDJ United since October 2024, when it was also delisted from Nasdaq Stockholm. Kindred is now taking 32Red into other countries, starting from Romania.

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.

What each licence means, and self-exclusion

Sister sites

In total our data lists 16 sister brands. An account block at 32Red may not cover them, but GamStop covers all UK-licensed sites.
