Licence Enforcement Report — Q3 2026
Licences do not just get issued — they get suspended, revoked and quietly allowed to lapse. We mirror 18 official licensing registers and three regulator blocked-site lists, so we can report what changed. This quarter the data shows 78 licences in a non-active state across 5 regulators.
Data snapshot 27 July 2026 · every figure computed directly from the mirrored registers.
1. Suspended, revoked & lapsed licences
These entities appear on their regulator's own register in a non-active state. A casino still operating under a suspended or revoked licence is one of the strongest warning signs there is — the sister brands of these companies deserve scrutiny too.
Each name links into our licence checker, which searches the same mirrored registers this report is computed from.
2. Romania: licence validity watch
Romanian Class I licences run on fixed 10-year validity windows, and 2026 is a renewal year — several major operators' windows close in the second half of the year. The entries below have a validity date that has already passed in our mirror.
Level Up Interactive Limited — validity window ended 2026-06-30 (decision 1278 / 29.06.2016).
Read this carefully: a just-past validity date can mean a renewal decision is pending, not that the operator has lapsed. ONJN publishes renewal decisions with a lag. We flag the window, we do not call it a revocation — verify the current status on the live ONJN register before treating any entry here as enforcement-grade.
3. Regulator blocked-site lists
Three regulators publish machine-readable lists of domains their ISPs must block. These lists reflect market access, not safety — properly licensed international brands appear on them simply for serving a market without the local licence — but their growth is a direct measure of enforcement activity, because new entries are added by dated regulator decisions.
ONJN blacklist mirror dated 2026-07-25. From the next quarterly report, this section shows the per-list growth since the previous snapshot — each Romanian wave maps to a numbered ONJN decision, and Belgium keeps dated weekly snapshots going back to 2020, so list growth is fully attributable.
4. Changes since the last report
Baseline established 27 July 2026. This is the first report in the series. From the next quarterly run, this section lists every licence that appeared, lapsed or changed status since the previous snapshot — new suspensions and revocations included, per regulator, with the exact before/after status.

Methodology & limitations
Figures are computed from our mirrors of each regulator's published register at the snapshot date shown; entities are de-duplicated by licence number within a regulator (company and trading-name rows on one licence count once). "Non-active" means the register itself records a suspended, revoked, expired or otherwise inactive status — it is the regulator's classification, not ours. Registers update on different cadences, and some (notably the Kahnawà:ke permit table) lag their regulator's advisory notices, so presence or status here is a snapshot, not a live guarantee. Romanian validity dates carry the renewal-lag caveat above. Blocked-site lists reflect market access decisions, not safety verdicts. Changes are diffed against our own dated snapshots, kept from this report onward.
