Videoslots: licence and operator

Videoslots is run by Videoslots Limited, a Maltese company that holds Gambling Commission account 39380 alongside a Malta Gaming Authority licence. Online since 2011, it also operates Mr Vegas and Mega Riches. In 2025 the Commission imposed a £650,000 penalty on it. This page explains the company, its licences, that penalty and how to check the register.

Who is behind Videoslots casino

Videoslots is both the brand and the company name. Videoslots Limited is registered in Malta under company number C49090, with a registered address at The Space, Alfred Craig Street, Pieta. For British customers it holds Gambling Commission account 39380, as shown on the Commission’s register entry for Videoslots Limited (opens in a new tab).

The brand has been online since 2011, and the operator says its lobby holds more than 9,000 games. We haven’t verified that figure independently; treat it as the company’s own claim. Unlike many UK-facing casinos, Videoslots isn’t part of a large listed group in the facts we hold, which puts it among the independent casinos rather than the big multi-brand groups covered in our casino brands A–Z.

Videoslots licences: UK, Malta and beyond

Videoslots operates in several regulated markets, each under its own licence. Only the Gambling Commission licence matters for play in Great Britain, but the others show how the business is structured.

Gambling Commission (GB)Account 39380Customers in Great Britain
Malta Gaming AuthorityMGA/CRP/258/2014Customers served under the Maltese licence
Ontariovideoslots.caCustomers in Ontario
Spainvideoslots.esCustomers in Spain

If you’re in Great Britain, the UK rules apply whichever other licences the company holds. That includes the £5 slot stake limit, the 2.5-second spin rule and the ban on autoplay. A Maltese licence doesn’t give UK players any different terms.

Videoslots sister sites: Mr Vegas and Mega Riches

The domain list for account 39380 (opens in a new tab) includes three brands: videoslots, mrvegas and megariches. That makes Mr Vegas and Mega Riches sister sites of Videoslots in the strict sense, because one company holds the licence for all three.

Shared licence holders matter for account rules. A restriction, closure or self-exclusion at one brand may be applied at the others, and new-customer offers may not be open to you if you already have an account at a sister brand. Our casino sister sites guide explains how to check.

The 2025 Videoslots penalty explained

The register’s regulatory actions record for Videoslots Limited (opens in a new tab) shows one action, dated 30 October 2025: a warning, a £650,000 financial penalty and an additional licence condition. The Commission found that between October 2023 and February 2024 the company breached anti-money laundering requirements (licence condition 12.1.1) and the customer interaction code (social responsibility code provision 3.4.3). The Commission’s public announcement of the £650,000 Videoslots fine (opens in a new tab) followed on 20 November 2025.

The deposit limit problem, with numbers

One finding is useful for any player who sets limits. Videoslots applied monthly deposit limits on a calendar-month basis and excluded the customer’s initial deposit. The Commission’s examples included a customer who lost £5,000 against a £3,000 monthly limit, and another who lost £7,500 over 18 days against a £2,000 limit.

To see why calendar months matter, imagine a £1,000 monthly limit. Under a calendar-month system, someone could deposit £1,000 on 30 June and another £1,000 on 1 July: £2,000 in two days, both within the limit. A rolling 30-day limit would have blocked the second deposit. Our page on deposit limit rules explains what operators must now offer, including the gross deposit limits required by 30 September 2026.

What the Commission required

  • An independent third-party audit of Videoslots’ anti-money laundering and safer gambling policies, procedures and controls.
  • Other operators using similar digital card or payment schemes were told to report this to the Commission as a key event.

What changed for Videoslots players recently

Alongside the penalty, the wider rules have changed. Each of these applies to Videoslots for British customers:

Dated UK changes relevant to Videoslots
DateChange
28 February 2025Financial vulnerability check at £150 net deposits in a rolling 30 days
9 April 2025£5 per spin maximum on online slots for players aged 25+
21 May 2025£2 per spin maximum for players aged 18–24
31 October 2025Prompt to set a financial limit before the first deposit
30 October 2025Videoslots penalty, warning and added licence condition
19 January 202610x wagering cap on bonuses

For a slots-only operator, the stake limits are the most visible change. A player aged 22 can’t stake more than £2 a spin on any slot, and the £2 slot stake limit page explains how age is checked.

How to check Videoslots on the register

  1. Go to the Gambling Commission’s register of gambling businesses (opens in a new tab).
  2. Search “Videoslots” or account number 39380.
  3. Check the remote casino licence status is active.
  4. Open the domain names tab and confirm the site you use is listed (videoslots, mrvegas or megariches).
  5. Read the regulatory actions tab; the 30 October 2025 entry should be there, plus anything newer.

Safer gambling at Videoslots

Videoslots must offer the standard UK tools: deposit limits (now including gross deposit limits), time-outs, reality checks, self-exclusion and GAMSTOP participation. The audit required in 2025 covers its safer gambling controls, so how limits work there may have changed since the period the Commission examined. Check its responsible gaming pages for the current setup.

Whatever limit tool a site uses, a rolling-period limit is the most protective. If gambling is causing problems, the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, and GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab) blocks all GB-licensed online gambling. See our guide to setting deposit limits.

Payments, verification and withdrawals: what to expect

We don’t hold verified data on Videoslots’ payment methods, limits or payout speeds, so check its cashier. UK rules still set firm expectations: no credit card gambling, no reverse withdrawals, and no demand at withdrawal for documents the operator could have asked for earlier. Given the 2025 findings on source-of-funds checks, expect Videoslots to ask for documents if you deposit significant sums; our page on source of funds checks explains what may be requested and why.

How Videoslots compares as a type of casino

Videoslots is a slots-led, independently run casino with licences in several countries. That’s a different model from the UK high-street brands and from casino-first groups.

Slots-led alternatives to Videoslots we check

We don’t show Videoslots’ offers because we only list promotions we check and date. For a slots-led alternative, PlayOJO’s welcome offer gives new UK customers (excluding Northern Ireland) 80 spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p a spin for a first deposit of at least £10, with spin winnings paid in cash and no wagering; it’s only available via the designated offer link.

Coral offers 100 spins at 10p each once you deposit and bet £10 on slots, accepted within 48 hours and valid 7 days, with no wagering on winnings. Casumo gives 50% up to £100 on a first deposit of £20 or more, wagered 10x within 7 days, with a £5 maximum bet. 18+, terms apply. Our latest slots offers page has all three, dated.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns Videoslots?

Videoslots is run by Videoslots Limited, a company registered in Malta under number C49090, with an address in Pieta. It holds Gambling Commission account 39380 for British customers and a Malta Gaming Authority licence, MGA/CRP/258/2014. We haven’t verified details of the company’s shareholders, so the reliable answer is the licence holder named on the register. Our licence holder definition explains why that’s the company that matters to you.

Is Videoslots licensed in the UK?

Yes. Videoslots Limited holds Gambling Commission account 39380, which permits it to offer casino games to customers in Great Britain. It also holds a Malta licence and operates in Ontario and Spain. For UK players, only the Commission licence is relevant, and it means Videoslots must follow British rules on stake limits, spin speed, identity checks and safer gambling tools. See our guide on what UKGC licensed means.

Why was Videoslots fined £650,000?

The Commission found that between October 2023 and February 2024, Videoslots breached anti-money laundering and customer interaction rules. Its deposit limits ran by calendar month and left out the first deposit, and its monitoring missed customers at risk; one lost £5,000 against a £3,000 limit. It also failed to carry out timely source-of-funds checks in some cases. The action, recorded on 30 October 2025, included a warning and an audit. See our Gambling Commission fines page.

Are Mr Vegas and Videoslots the same company?

Yes. The register’s domain list for account 39380 includes mrvegas.com and megariches.com alongside videoslots, so Videoslots Limited holds the licence for all three. They are sister sites run by one company, which usually means shared terms and complaints processes, and possibly shared account decisions. The Commission’s 2025 announcement named all three sites. Our Mr Vegas profile covers that brand in more detail.

How long has Videoslots been online?

Videoslots has been online since 2011, which makes it older than the UK’s current licensing system for overseas operators, introduced in November 2014. Since then it has held a Commission licence to serve British customers and added sites for Ontario and Spain. Its long history is a point in its favour, but it should be weighed alongside its regulatory record. Our history of UK online casinos explains the 2014 change.

Does Videoslots really have more than 9,000 games?

Videoslots says it has more than 9,000 games, but we haven’t verified that number and lobby sizes change constantly. A large lobby isn’t a measure of quality or fairness in itself. What matters more is that each game shows its return to player figure and is tested by an approved lab. Our guides to checking slot RTP and how casino games are tested explain what to look for in any lobby.

Is Videoslots safe for UK players?

Videoslots holds an active UK licence, which brings the full set of Commission protections: fair games, identity checks, safer gambling tools and access to ADR. It was also penalised in 2025 for anti-money laundering and customer protection failings, and it must complete an independent audit. You can weigh both on the register. Every casino game has a house edge, so losses are likely over time. For a fuller checklist, see are online casinos safe in the UK.

What is a calendar-month deposit limit?

A calendar-month limit resets on the first day of each month, whatever you deposited at the end of the previous one. With a £500 limit, you could deposit £500 on 31 March and £500 on 1 April, putting £1,000 in within two days. A rolling 30-day limit counts back from today, so it would block that second deposit. The Commission criticised Videoslots’ calendar-month approach in 2025. Our deposit limit guide explains each limit type.

Can I complain about Videoslots to IBAS?

You can use whichever alternative dispute resolution provider Videoslots names in its terms, after first going through its own complaints process. If that provider is IBAS, the service is free and independent. You must normally wait for a final response, or eight weeks, before escalating. Keep screenshots, dates and transaction references. Our page on what IBAS is explains how adjudication works and what kinds of disputes it can decide.

Can I self-exclude from Videoslots, Mr Vegas and Mega Riches together?

GAMSTOP blocks all three, along with every other GB-licensed online gambling site, for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, and it can’t be cancelled early. Self-excluding directly through Videoslots may also cover its sister brands, since one company runs them, but check the terms to be sure. Our self-exclusion rules page explains what operators must do when you exclude, including closing accounts and stopping marketing.
