Regulation and dispute resolution

There are many advantages to playing at online casinos that are licensed in respected licensing jurisdictions.  The first, is the fact that the casinos that manage to satisfy license requirements in these jurisdictions are usually the industry's bigger, better known brands;  stock exchange listed corporations or large private companies with substantial capital backing and tens of millions of dollars invested in their brands and reputation. Of course size also has service advantages (customer service capability, size and quality of game suite etc) also, but that's perhaps another discussion.

The other key advantage to playing at these casinos is the fact that you will have access to a regulatory authority dispute resolution process in the unfortunate event that something goes wrong.

Now all this begs the question...what are the respected licensing jurisdictions and which are the casinos regulated by them? 

Here we turn to the UK Gambling Commission who endorse various regulatory authorities around the world by including them on their 'White List'.  Online Casinos licensed by White List regulatory authorites are able to advertise their service terrestrially within the UK pursuant to the Gambling Act 2005.

Those authorities, and casinos licensed by them include:

Smart Live Casino	Blue Square	bet365	Unibet	Paddy Power
		888.com		Dublinbet
		William Hill		Lucky Live
		Party Casino
		BetFred
		VC Live
