About
Karamba is a UK-facing gambling site offering casino games and sports betting under the licence of White Hat Gaming Limited. The site operates as a whitelabel, meaning it runs on another company's platform rather than proprietary infrastructure. The operator's UKGC licence, first granted on 29 October 2018, covers casino, bingo, gambling software, and both real-event and virtual-event betting.
According to the Karamba website, the brand claims to offer slots, live casino games, and sports betting with features including fast withdrawals, a mobile app, a loyalty programme, and responsible gaming tools. Payment methods stated on their site include Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Trustly, and bank transfer. These are self-reported claims and haven't been independently verified by Saferwager.
The domain karamba.co.uk has been registered since April 1998, giving it nearly 28 years of history, though the current operator took on the UKGC licence in 2018. The site carries an A-grade SSL certificate issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M01, valid through December 2026, and supports TLS 1.3 encryption.

According to their website (checked 22 Feb 2026):
Welcome Offers
New players at Karamba can claim a free spins bonus on their first deposit, valid on a specific range of slot games.
Conditions Explained
The welcome offer requires a minimum first deposit and you must also wager that deposit amount on slots or Slingo games before the spins are credited. Winnings from the bonus spins are capped at £20 and are paid as bonus funds, not cash. Bonus funds carry a 10x wagering requirement, which means you must bet the bonus amount ten times over before you can withdraw any winnings from them. Bonus spins are only usable on Play'nGo slots, so they can't be used on other games. The spins must be used within 10 days and bonus funds within 30 days. There's also a £5 maximum bet while playing with bonus funds, so placing larger bets could void the bonus.
Ongoing Promotions
Existing players can access a recurring deposit bonus twice a week, available during a short midday window on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Conditions Explained
The Midday Moolah promotion is only live for two hours each eligible day, so you'll need to make your first deposit of the day during that specific window to qualify. The bonus is a 25% match capped at £25. As with the welcome offer, bonus funds are separate from your cash balance and carry a 10x wagering requirement. Winnings from the bonus are capped at £500. The £5 maximum bet rule applies while using bonus funds, and the bonus must be used within 30 days.

UKGC Licence Status
Karamba's UKGC licences are held by White Hat Gaming Limited (account number 52894) and have been active since 29 October 2018. The operator holds five licence types: a Remote Casino licence permitting online slots and table games, a Remote Bingo licence for online bingo products, a Gambling Software licence covering the provision of gaming software, and two General Betting Standard licences covering both real-event and virtual-event wagering. All five licences remain active with no expiry date set.
White Hat Gaming Limited is registered with three Alternative Dispute Resolution providers: eCOGRA, IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service), and Resolver. ADR registration means that if a player can't resolve a complaint directly with the operator, they can escalate to one of these independent bodies for a binding decision. Having multiple ADR options gives consumers more than one route to pursue unresolved disputes.
Regulatory Actions
White Hat Gaming Limited has no recorded regulatory actions on the UKGC register. The operator's enforcement score reflects a clean history since licensing began in October 2018.
