About
44Aces is an online casino site operating at 44aces.com. According to the site, it offers a selection of slots and live casino games, with payment options including Visa and PayPal. The domain holds an Active status with the UK Gambling Commission and is not a whitelabel operation.
The site is operated by Skill On Net Limited, a mixed-category gambling operator that has held a UKGC casino licence since 1 November 2014 — giving it over 11 years of continuous licensing. In addition to a casino licence, the operator also holds bingo and gambling software licences. However, in May 2023 the operator entered a regulatory settlement with the UKGC, agreeing to pay £305,150 in lieu of a financial penalty following findings of AML and safer gambling control failures between 2021 and 2022. An independent third-party audit of its controls was also required as part of the settlement.
44Aces shares operator ownership with several other active UKGC-licensed brands including Genting Casino, Lord Ping, and PlayToro, all operated under Skill On Net Limited.
