Who is behind it
Two companies matter here. The partner that owns the Parimatch name licences it for the UK, but it does not hold the UK gambling licence. BetVictor runs the site: its UK company, BV Gaming Limited, holds the licence and carries the regulatory duties. BetVictor is a privately held group based in Gibraltar, and our data gives 1946 as the founding year of the business. Parimatch sites in other countries are not covered by this page.
Licence and what it means for you
BV Gaming Limited holds UK remote licence 039576-R-319370-028 under Gambling Commission account 39576. The register lists parimatch.co.uk on that account as a white label. For a UK customer this means the licence holder, not the brand owner, is responsible for identity checks, safer-gambling tools and complaints. The same company also holds an Irish remote betting licence from the GRAI, GRAI-0862-RB-26-0001, valid from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029.

Fines and regulator actions
Parimatch UK itself has no action against it in our data. BV Gaming Limited, its licence holder, has one: in June 2023 Ontario's AGCO imposed CAD 15,000 because the company took bets on Canadian junior hockey leagues, a market Ontario bans. A second entry is less certain. A Gambling Commission notice from February 2022 announced £2m regulatory action over fairness and social-responsibility failures, and a secondary list ties it to BetVictor Limited. That tie is reported, not verified.
All 2 fines and regulator actions, with sources
1 of these 2 concerns Parimatch UK’s own company; the others concern other companies of the BetVictor group. The company column names who was fined.
