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. No site was included solely on the basis of thematic similarity; shared corporate ownership under a verifiable parent entity was required.

All casinos listed on SisterIndex are presented for informational purposes. If you choose to gamble, do so responsibly.

Frequently asked questions

Is Royal Panda still available to UK players?

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.

Who owns Royal Panda?

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.

What licence does Royal Panda hold?

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 Its UKGC remote operating licence was allowed to lapse in January 2020 and is no longer active.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.

Are Royal Panda's sister sites safe for UK players?

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. UKGC-licensed sites are subject to ongoing regulatory oversight and compliance audits.
