How We Identify Sister Sites

Each site in this article was selected on the basis of verified corporate ownership: all listed brands sit within the LeoVegas Gaming PLC group, which acquired Royal Panda Limited in October 2017. Ownership was cross-referenced across iGaming industry news sources (iGB, CasinoHawks), regulatory databases, and third-party review sites. Only brands with active UKGC remote operating licences — meaning they are legally accessible to UK players — were included in the main list, since Royal Panda itself no longer holds a UKGC licence. Licence status was assessed against publicly cited UKGC register information. Safety index ratings reflect UKGC licensing, GamStop registration, and group-level compliance standards. No site was included solely on the basis of thematic similarity; shared corporate ownership under a verifiable parent entity was required.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Royal Panda exited the UK market on 31 January 2020 when its operator, LeoVegas Group, allowed the UKGC remote operating licence to lapse. This was a strategic business decision rather than a regulatory action. UK residents cannot currently register or place wagers at Royal Panda. Players seeking a similar experience should consider the UKGC-licensed sister brands within the LeoVegas Gaming PLC group, such as LeoVegas, BetUK, or 21.co.uk.

Royal Panda is owned and operated by Royal Panda Limited, a Malta-based company that was acquired by LeoVegas International (a subsidiary of LeoVegas AB) in October 2017 for an initial fee of €60 million. LeoVegas AB was subsequently acquired by MGM Resorts International in 2022, meaning Royal Panda ultimately sits within the MGM Resorts corporate structure via LeoVegas Gaming PLC.

Royal Panda currently operates under a Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licence under the corporate licence of LeoVegas Gaming p.l.c. (MGA/CRP/237/2013). Its UKGC remote operating licence was allowed to lapse in January 2020 and is no longer active. This means Royal Panda is not currently authorised to offer gambling services to residents of Great Britain.

Yes, the sister sites listed in this article — LeoVegas, BetUK, Pink Casino, 21.co.uk, Slot Boss, and BetMGM (UK) — all hold active UKGC remote operating licences. This means they are legally required to be registered with GamStop, segregate customer funds, enforce KYC verification, and provide a full suite of responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, self-exclusion, and time-outs. UKGC-licensed sites are subject to ongoing regulatory oversight and compliance audits.

All UKGC-licensed brands within the LeoVegas Gaming PLC group are required under UK gambling regulations to offer a standard set of responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion. All UK-facing brands in the group must be registered with GamStop, the UK's national online self-exclusion scheme. Players can also use third-party tools such as Gamban and BetBlocker for additional protection across all sites. The specific implementation and interface of these tools may vary slightly between brands.
