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

The enforcement component carries the most weight and it is what moves this figure: £0 in penalties across 1 decision published since September 2023, weighted towards the most recent. At 4.3 years the licence is comparatively young, so tenure contributes little; that reflects a short track record rather than anything adverse. No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.

What the Gambling Commission has published about GridRival UK Limited

Each entry below is a published decision, reproduced from the Commission's register of regulatory actions as read on 11 August 2026. Wording is the Commission's, not ours.

This is not the company's full enforcement history. The Commission withdraws a decision from the register three years after it is published, so what appears here — and every total on this page — covers decisions from September 2023 onwards. Penalties issued before then, including some of the largest in the Commission's history, are no longer on the register and are not counted. How this window affects the score.

Common questions about GridRival UK Limited

Is GridRival UK Limited licensed in the UK?

Not currently. GridRival UK Limited appears on the register with 2 licence records, but none is active, so it is not permitted to offer gambling to British players at present.

Has GridRival UK Limited been fined by the Gambling Commission?

1 regulatory action is currently published against it, decided since September 2023 and totalling £0. The most recent was decided on 9 June 2025 and recorded as a sanction. Sanctions and settlements stay on the Commission's register for three years from publication, so that figure is what the register carries today and not the company's entire enforcement history — older penalties, including some very large ones, have been withdrawn from the register and are not counted here. The Commission's own wording for each decision is reproduced above.

Who do I complain to about GridRival UK 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 GridRival UK 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. GridRival UK Limited scores 83. 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.
