Type a site address and the licence it claims. We show the warning signs in the address, the official register to check (PAGCOR, Curaçao, Malta, UK, Kahnawake) and the law where you live.
Warning signs in the address itself, the official register to check for the licence it claims, the law where you live, and who to call if you have already paid.
This helper does not say a site is safe or licensed: only the regulator's own register can do that. Market rules are from our online gambling legality guide; registers checked 26 Oct 2026. General information, not legal advice. 18+.
No tool can do that from the address alone. It tells you which official register to open and what to look for. Only the regulator's own list can confirm a licence, and the licence covers only the exact domain on that list.
Anyone can copy a logo or a certificate image. PAGCOR has warned the public about fake certificates, and the Malta Gaming Authority says its seals alone prove nothing. Check the register on the regulator's own website instead.
Do not deposit. If you already paid and the site now asks for a fee, tax or deposit before you can withdraw, stop paying and report it to your national scam line.
No. The check runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to HotStakes. We only count, anonymously, that a check was run.
