Licence

Paying in crypto changes the route the money takes, not the legal standing of the site taking it.

Operators serving consumers in Great Britain need a Gambling Commission licence, and Northern Ireland runs on separate legislation. The section covers non-UKGC operators, offshore and international brands and the Malta, Gibraltar, Curaçao and Anjouan licences.

Crypto acceptance is far more common outside the UK licensed market than inside it, so the coin at the checkout is often a signal about the licence rather than about the technology.
