BetScanIs this gambling site licensed?
BetScan checks the license a casino or betting site claims against public regulator registers, and tells you plainly: valid license, offshore license, or no valid license.
Three possible answers
Every site gets one factual result. No scores, no rankings, no recommendations.
Valid license found
A national or international regulator oversees the operator. BetScan names it and tells you which players the license covers.
Offshore license found
A license exists, but it gives players little practical recourse. If a withdrawal is refused, there is often no regulator that will act.
No valid license found
No license could be matched to a public register, or the only one is a shell license with no meaningful oversight.
No valid license found
Sites in our index where no license could be matched to a public register.
Offshore licenses
Licensed, but by regulators that offer players limited protection.

How it works
Nothing to set up. Open a gambling site and the check runs on its own.
Recognizes gambling sites
A small detector checks the page title and description inside your browser. On every other site it stays inert and sends nothing.
Looks up the license
Only the domain is sent to BetScan, which matches the site's license claim against the public registers of 40+ regulators.
Shows one clear result
A small status in the corner of the tab: valid, offshore or no valid license. Click it for the regulator and what the license covers.

Is BetScan free?
Yes. BetScan has no advertising, no affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no paid features. It takes no money from any gambling operator.
What does the extension show?
One of three results for the gambling site you are on: valid license found (a national or international regulator), offshore license found (for example Curaçao or Kahnawake), or no valid license found. It names the regulator and explains where the license applies.
Where does the license information come from?
From the public registers of more than 40 gambling regulators, matched against the license each site claims. License status can change, so always confirm it on the regulator's own register before you deposit.
Why is an offshore license flagged?
Offshore licenses such as Curaçao, Kahnawake or Anjouan give players little practical recourse. If a withdrawal is refused, there is often no regulator that will act on your complaint.
Does a valid license mean a site is safe?
No. A valid license means a regulator oversees the operator. It is not an endorsement, and a license usually covers only players in that country or state. Check that online gambling is legal where you live.
What if a site is not in your database?
The extension offers to check it. BetScan then looks up the site's license in public sources and adds the result to its database.
Does BetScan collect my data?
Only the domain name of gambling sites you visit is sent to our server, to look up the license. No account, no tracking, no personal data. Standard server logs are deleted after 14 days. Privacy policy.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome and Chromium-based browsers such as Edge and Brave, installed from the Chrome Web Store.
