Scored on the register alone. Safer gambling tool coverage and RTP disclosure are only counted for operators we have tested directly, and this one has not been tested yet, so those weights are excluded rather than guessed. How the score works

Nothing is currently published against this company, so the enforcement component is intact. 12 years of licensed operation gives partial credit on tenure, which reaches full marks at fifteen. No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.

Common questions about BV Gaming Limited

Is BV Gaming Limited licensed in the UK?

Yes. The Gambling Commission lists 5 active operating licences against BV Gaming Limited, account number 39576, the earliest running since 1 November 2014. That includes an active remote casino licence, so it is permitted to offer online casino games to British players.

Has BV Gaming Limited been fined by the Gambling Commission?

No. There is no regulatory action published against BV Gaming Limited on the Commission's register. Sanctions and settlements stay on that register for three years from publication, so this covers decisions since September 2023 rather than the company's entire history.

Which casino brands does BV Gaming Limited run?

8 trading names are registered against this licence holder, 7 of them active: betano, betvictor, hbingo, heart bingo, parimatch, puntit, smooth spins, talksport bet. They share the same licences, so the same deposit limits, the same account checks and the same compliance record apply across all of them.

What does it mean that BV Gaming Limited runs white label sites?

6 of the 10 websites registered to this company are listed as white label, meaning the brand on the site is run by someone else under BV Gaming Limited's licence. If you hold an account with one of them, your money and your complaint route sit with BV Gaming Limited, not with the name on the website.

Who do I complain to about BV Gaming Limited?

Start with the operator in writing. If it is unresolved after eight weeks, or you disagree with its final response, the complaint goes to the alternative dispute resolution provider it is signed up to, free of charge. The Gambling Commission does not settle individual disputes and cannot recover your money, though it does use complaint patterns to drive compliance work.

How is the Safety Record score for BV Gaming Limited calculated?

From three inputs in the public register, weighted 55 for enforcement burden, 25 for licence standing and 20 for licence tenure, normalised to a mark out of 100. BV Gaming Limited scores 96. Safer gambling tool coverage and RTP disclosure are only counted where we have tested a site directly; this operator has not been tested, so those weights are excluded rather than guessed at. No commercial arrangement can change the figure.
