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. A British licence held for 18 years takes licence tenure to full marks. No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.

Common questions about Nikolas Shaw Limited
Is Nikolas Shaw Limited licensed in the UK?
Yes. The Gambling Commission lists 3 active operating licences against Nikolas Shaw Limited, account number 300, the earliest running since 1 January 2009. That includes an active remote casino licence, so it is permitted to offer online casino games to British players.
Has Nikolas Shaw Limited been fined by the Gambling Commission?
No. There is no regulatory action published against Nikolas Shaw 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.
Who do I complain to about Nikolas Shaw 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 Nikolas Shaw 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. Nikolas Shaw Limited scores 100. 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.
