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: £26,000 in penalties across 1 decision published since September 2023, weighted towards the most recent. At 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 No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.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 Octopus Game 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.

25 March 2026

Settlement: £26,000

Public statement, Commission costs and Payment in lieu of financial penalty

A licence review under section 116 of the Act was commenced following a Compliance Assessment, conducted in November 2024 of the remote operating licence of Octopus Game Limited trading as Octopus Game (licence number 000-062545-R-337248-006). The review found failings in Octopus Game Limited’s Anti-Money Laundering / Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) and Social Responsibility (SR) controls. Octopus Game Limited failed to comply with the following Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP): Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Licence Condition (LC) 12.1.1 relating to the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 of Social Responsibility Code Provision (SRCP) 3.4.3 relating to remote customer interaction. In line with our Statement of Principles for Licensing and regulation , Octopus Game Limited will make a payment in lieu of a financial penalty of £26,000. Details of this are set out under the heading Octopus Game Limited Regulatory Settlement. Further information about this case can be found on the Gambling Commission’s public statement, which can be found here: Octopus Game Limited Public Statement

Common questions about Octopus Game Limited

Is Octopus Game Limited licensed in the UK?

Yes. The Gambling Commission lists 3 active operating licences against Octopus Game Limited, account number 62545, the earliest running since 27 July 2023. That includes an active remote casino licence, so it is permitted to offer online casino games to British players.

Has Octopus Game Limited been fined by the Gambling Commission?

1 regulatory action is currently published against it, decided since September 2023 and totalling £26,000. The most recent was decided on 25 March 2026 and recorded as a settlement of £26,000. 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.

Which casino brands does Octopus Game Limited run?

2 trading names are registered against this licence holder, 1 of them active: octobet, octopus game. They share the same licences, so the same deposit limits, the same account checks and the same compliance record apply across all of them.

Who do I complain to about Octopus Game 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 Octopus Game 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. Octopus Game Limited scores 50. 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.
