One Platform. Total Licence Clarity.

LiSense gives compliance, legal and executive teams a single real-time view of Gambling Commission licence status across every partner, supplier and key person.

The Regulatory Landscape

LiSense replaces manual tracking with continuous, automated licence intelligence.

Increasing Regulatory Obligations

UK regulatory expectations are increasing. Recent enforcement cases demonstrate the Gambling Commission will take immediate and decisive action, including licence suspension, where standards are not met.

Escalating Complexity

The UK regime is becoming more complex. Jurisdictions worldwide are tightening gambling regulation, creating a fragmented compliance landscape that demands systematic oversight.

Enforcement Risk

Criminal and regulatory enforcement is intensifying with substantial financial penalties and increasing scrutiny of senior management accountability for control failures.

Reputational Exposure

Regulatory failings in the UK can rapidly damage market position and credibility internationally. Association with an unlicensed or sanctioned partner can directly impact your suitability.

Gambling Commission Focus on Illegal Gambling

The Gambling Commission's Evidence Gaps and Priorities 2023–2026 places clear emphasis on tackling the illegal supply of gambling facilities to persons located in Great Britain. Providing unlicensed gambling facilities is a criminal offence and may also give rise to money laundering offences.

Under Social Responsibility Code Provisions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 of the LCCP, licensees are expected to operate in a manner consistent with the licensing objectives and are accountable for the conduct of relevant third parties. Licence condition 2.2.1 also requires gambling software to be supplied only by the holder of a gambling software operating licence.

The Commission is devoting increasing resources to combatting illegal gambling and, as overseas operators can be difficult to pursue, scrutiny is increasingly focused on licensed businesses and their commercial relationships. Recent compliance assessments routinely include requests for evidence of third-party due diligence and partner oversight.The direction is clear: businesses should assume detection and ensure they can demonstrate proactive, evidenced oversight before the regulator asks.

What the Gambling
Commission Has Said

“Operators must undertake due diligence on both their own activities and those of their suppliers.”

“Actively monitor business relationships…and terminate where non-compliance is identified.”

“We strongly suggest you undertake due diligence…to ensure suppliers are not directly or indirectly supporting unlicensed activity.”

“Everyone in the legitimate industry should undertake their own due diligence.”

“Ensure your suppliers and partners are not engaged in unlicensed activity facing into the UK.”

When Licence Failures
Go Undetected

These are not edge cases — they are systemic vulnerabilities that LiSense eliminates.

B2B supplier
Surrendered Licence
Criminal offence

Whilst continuing to supply you in other jurisdictions, your B2B supplier fails to inform you when they surrender their Gambling Commission licence.  You continue to aggregate content from an unlicensed entity — exposing yourself to criminal offence, regulatory breach and commercial exposure with B2C partners.
