Scroll to the footer of most Web3 casinos, and you will find a short string of letters and numbers next to a regulator’s seal. Few players read it closely, yet that string can confirm who operates the site, who supervises it, and whether the permission behind it is still active.
It can also expose problems. Numbers that fail to match the company in the terms, or that come from a retired licence model, say a great deal before any deposit.
Below: what a Web3 casino licence number reveals, common formats, Curaçao’s reform, and the limits of any number.
Five Things a Licence Number Reveals
Checked against the regulator’s own register, a licence number answers five questions.
|
What it reveals
|
What to look for
|
|
The regulator
|
The prefix or format usually points to the authority behind it
|
|
The licence type
|
Operator (B2C) licences cover sites that serve players; supplier (B2B) licences do not
|
|
The licence holder
|
The company on the register should match the operator named in the casino’s terms
|
|
The status
|
Active, suspended or expired, as shown on the register
|
|
The grant date
|
When the licence was issued, which helps spot recent changes of owner or regulator
|
Last verified: September 2026
The company-name match tells you the most. Real numbers attached to a different company mean the seal belongs to someone else.
What Common Formats Look Like
Each regulator uses its own pattern, which makes a mismatch easy to spot. This MGA licence format and the others below show which register to search.

Regulator
|
Typical format
|
|
Curaçao Gaming Authority, after the 2024 reform
|
OGL/YYYY/NNNN/MMMM
|
|
Malta Gaming Authority
|
MGA/B2C/NNN/YYYY
|
|
Anjouan
|
ALSI-NNNNNNNN-FXX
|
|
Legacy Curaçao sub-licence
|
References such as 1668/JAZ, now invalid

Formats alone prove little, since anyone can copy a pattern. They simply point you to the right register for a licence register check.
Curaçao’s 2024 Reset
The Curaçao LOK, the island’s National Ordinance on Games of Chance, took effect on 24 December 2024. It replaced the old master and sub-licence model with direct licences from a single regulator, the Curaçao Gaming Authority.
The authority now issues digital seals linked to its public register: green for operator licences and blue for supplier licences. Its transitional orange seal, for operators in the middle of a move from the old system, expired on 15 October 2025.
Sites that still display an old sub-licence reference therefore show an obsolete credential. Each regime sets its own conditions, as a comparison of licence regimes explains.
Limits of a Licence Number
Valid licences confirm supervision, not quality, and they leave several questions open.
-
Your country: an offshore licence does not make a site legal where you live
-
Player protection: regulators differ widely in how they treat complaints and enforce rules
-
Service quality: a licence says little about payout speed, support or game range
-
Seal links: a footer seal can point to a copied page, so type the regulator’s address yourself
The habit that protects you most is simple: find the number, search the regulator’s own register, and confirm that company name, licence type and status all match.
Licence Details on Dexsport
Dexsport identifies the company behind it, Dexapp LTD, in its terms, together with its Anjouan licence. Players can match that company name against Anjouan’s public register, which also lists recognition letters for credentials from elsewhere.
Anjouan expressly permits gambling with cryptocurrency, which suits a platform that accepts more than 50 assets. The Dexsport licence has geographic limits, and the platform turns away account holders based in Russia and Belarus. Our look at Anjouan regulation covers what that regime does and does not oversee.
Conclusion
Every casino licence number identifies the regulator, the licence type, the licence holder, the status and the grant date, once you check it on the regulator’s own register. The company-name match matters most.
Formats differ by regulator, and Curaçao’s 2024 reform retired the old sub-licence references entirely. Even a valid number confirms supervision, not legality in your country or service quality.
At Dexsport, the terms point to Dexapp LTD and an Anjouan licence. Check local law before you register, set a budget, and play only if you are of legal age, since KYC or AML checks may apply. Responsible gambling starts with a clear view of who operates the site.
Disclaimer: The information here is provided for general purposes only and is not legal, tax, investment, or financial advice. Licence regimes, registers and formats change, so check the regulator’s own register before you deposit. An offshore licence does not make gambling lawful everywhere. Casino games involve risk, and rules vary by country, so check the law where you live. Please play responsibly, within your means, and only if you are of legal age.
