Seatcheck
Check the licence, the studio and the rules before you sit down
Before you sit down at a live dealer blackjack table, check three things: the operator's entry in the Gambling Commission (UKGC) public register, the studio that runs the table, and the rules and limits the lobby publishes. Each check takes a few minutes and needs no account. Do it on the day you play, because entries and lobbies change.

Popular questions
Short answers first
- What should I check first at a live blackjack table?
Check the operator's entry in the Gambling Commission public register first. Look for status Active, the Casino Remote activity and a domain that matches the site you are on. A studio logo does not prove a licence.
- Does this site run or recommend casinos?
No. Seatcheck is a checking guide, not a casino. It does not take bets, and it does not score operators. Where a figure cannot be confirmed, the page says so instead of repeating it.
- Why does a logo like Evolution not prove a casino is licensed?
A studio supplies games; it does not license the operator. On 23 July 2026 the Gambling Commission announced that Evolution Malta Holding Limited agreed to pay £4.75m over games on six unlicensed sites.
- Is live blackjack a way to make money?
No. It is a form of gambling with a built-in house edge, so treat it as a cost of entertainment. Set limits before you play and use the tools described in our safer play section.
- How old do I have to be?
You must be 18 or over to gamble at a UK casino. Operators have to verify age before a deposit, free play or any bet.

Three checks before you take a seat
- Licence. Search the Gambling Commission public register for the brand or its domain. You want status Active, the Casino Remote activity and a domain that matches the site.
- Studio. Find out who runs the table. A studio supplies the game; it does not license the casino.
- Rules and limits. Read the payout, soft 17 and stake range the lobby shows for that table, and note the date you read them.
