We record 452 suppliers and where each is live. Counting them by market produces a ranking that mostly matches expectations — and one column that does not.
| Market | Suppliers live | With a verified licence | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | 120 | 70 | 58% |
| Brazil | 110 | 46 | 42% |
| Malta | 76 | 43 | 57% |
| Italy | 54 | 26 | 48% |
| Canada — Ontario | 53 | 34 | 64% |
| Sweden | 50 | 31 | 62% |
| Romania | 44 | 29 | 66% |
| Spain | 44 | 21 | 48% |
| Greece | 41 | 27 | 66% |
| Peru | 37 | 20 | 54% |
Britain is first for a boring reason
The UK has the most suppliers in our data, and the most obvious explanation is the right one: it has licensed remote gambling since 2007, longer than almost anywhere, so suppliers accumulated. Length of regulation, not market size, is what fills a directory.
Malta at 76 is the same effect with a different cause. Many suppliers hold a Maltese licence as their European base regardless of where their revenue comes from, so Malta appears in a footprint far more often than its player population would justify.
Brazil is the exception worth looking at
Brazil sits second on supplier count and second-to-last on verified share. 110 suppliers live; 46 with a licence we have confirmed on a regulator's own register.
The reason is timing, not quality. Brazil's federal regime commenced in January 2025. Most suppliers there hold their verified licences elsewhere — Malta, the UK — and their Brazilian authorisation is recent, recorded from published sources while the register infrastructure matures. A market that regulated eighteen months ago cannot have the verified depth of one that regulated eighteen years ago.
So the low share is a statement about the age of the regime and about our coverage of it. It is not a statement about the suppliers.
What the verified column is actually measuring
Three things at once, and it is worth separating them.
- Whether the regulator publishes a register. Where none exists, tier 4 is unreachable — only 26 of the 70 regulators we track publish one.
- Whether we have got to it. Verification is manual. A low share can mean we have not finished.
- Whether the supplier holds the licence it says it does. The thing people assume it measures, and the smallest of the three effects.
Read the column as a measure of evidence availability, not supplier quality. Ontario at 64% and Romania and Greece at 66% score well largely because those regulators publish good registers.
Using this when you are choosing
A market with many suppliers gives you negotiating room; one with few does not. But the number that should change your process is the verified share, because it tells you how much of your diligence you can do from a desk.
In Ontario or Greece, expect to confirm most of a shortlist yourself in an afternoon. In Brazil, expect to ask for documents and read them, because the register will not answer you yet.
Live counts per market are on the supplier directory, and each market has its own page.
