The brand name is one thing, the company name another

What the suffixes in the names tell you

The abbreviations at the end of these names — B.V., N.V., SRL, Limitada, Limited — indicate the type of company and come from the company systems of different countries. B.V. and N.V. are forms of the Dutch tradition, SRL and Limitada of the Latin tradition, and Limited of the English tradition.

These suffixes tell you one thing and not another. They tell you the entity is registered in a system where that form exists. They do not tell you where the company is actually run from, who the people behind it are, or how old it is. We did not read the registration record of any of these companies, so there is no detail of registration date, address or ownership on this page.

One name sits closer to its brand than the rest: Metaspins N.V., company number 160102, read on the Curaçao certificate for licence OGL/2024/1063/0437. It is the only one of the ten where the brand word appears in the company name, and it marks the limit of everything above — the distance between the two names is a habit of this industry, not a rule. It also buys the reader nothing else: the same row still carries a verification clause with no amount and no withdrawal limit we could read.

One company, several brands

A common structure in this industry is that one company runs several sites. From outside they look different — different names, different colours, different welcome screens — and from inside their terms, payment arrangements and support can all come from the same place.

This is worth knowing because, when comparing two sites, the reader assumes they are two independent options. Sometimes they are not. For these ten operators we did not check whether more than one brand is recorded in the name of any one company, so there is no such cell in the table. A check we did not make does not get its result printed here.

Where this information is written

Finding the company name is not hard; it is just that nobody puts it in front of you. It is usually found in one of three places.

The first place is the opening paragraph of the terms and conditions, where it is stated who the agreement is between. The second place is the very bottom of the page, where the company name and often the licence details are printed together in fine print. The third place is the licence’s own certificate or register entry, where the authority records the name of the company that received the licence.

The third place is the strongest, because it is outside the operator’s own page. When the name written on the site and the name recorded in the register are the same, each confirms the other. When they differ, that is worth a look in itself — sometimes the reason is ordinary, such as the name of another entity in a group, and sometimes it is not.

Why licence and company are two separate cells

Company and licence sit in separate cells in the table, and that is deliberate.

The licence says whose register holds the entry. The company says whose name the document is in. The two go together, but neither can take the other’s place: a licence number does not yield a company name, and a company name does not tell you whether the licence is valid. The methods for checking them differ too, and the detail of the licence check is on licences and registers.

In the Indian context

None of these companies is registered in India, and that is no coincidence. The Online Gaming (Promotion and Regulation) Act, 2025 prohibits online money gaming in India, so no Indian permission system exists for this category in which a company could be registered.

There is one further consequence that should be written plainly. Every one of these ten names is an entity recorded in some other country’s system, meaning it operates within the rules of its own jurisdiction. Those names are recorded on this site because they are written in documents and the reader should be able to see them — not because they change anything in India.

The same company also writes the list of countries it will not take accounts from, which is what makes that list a commercial document rather than a legal one. What the nine readable lists contain is set out separately. The frame of the law is set out separately on what the law says.
