The Company Behind Monster Casino
Monster Casino is a UK-facing online casino brand that has been entertaining British players since its launch in 2017. Although the brand identity is built around playful "monster" imagery and a streamlined slots-first lobby, the platform itself is powered by one of Malta's most established white-label casino operators - ProgressPlay Limited. This dual identity, a friendly consumer brand backed by an industrial-grade B2B infrastructure provider, is what allows Monster Casino to offer games from many studios while maintaining the regulatory rigour expected of a UK-licensed operator.
Every aspect of the player experience - registration, KYC verification, game integration, payment processing, customer support and responsible-gambling controls - runs on ProgressPlay's centrally managed platform. That means Monster Casino inherits the same compliance posture that protects players across the entire ProgressPlay network: UK Gambling Commission oversight under account number 39335, Malta Gaming Authority oversight under licence MGA/B2C/231/2012, mandatory GAMSTOP integration for UK customers, and certified SSL encryption on all data in transit. The pages that follow explain exactly who runs the casino, where they are based, what they are licensed to do, and which independent bodies hold them accountable.

About Monster Casino - FAQ
The questions below cover the corporate, licensing and compliance information that UK players most often ask before registering. For game-specific or bonus-specific questions, see the dedicated bonuses, games and responsible-gambling pages.
Who actually owns and operates Monster Casino?
Monster Casino is operated by ProgressPlay Limited, a Malta-incorporated company (C58305) registered at Soho Office, 3A, Punchbowl Centre, Elia Zammit Street, St. Julians STJ3154, Malta. ProgressPlay holds both the UK Gambling Commission account 39335 and Malta Gaming Authority licence MGA/B2C/231/2012 under which Monster Casino operates.
When was Monster Casino launched?
The Monster Casino brand was launched in 2017 and has been operated by ProgressPlay since 2021. The underlying ProgressPlay platform that powers it has been licensed and live since 2013, when the original Malta Gaming Authority B2C licence was issued.
Is Monster Casino licensed in the UK?
Yes. Monster Casino operates under UK Gambling Commission account number 39335, held by ProgressPlay Limited. UKGC licensing means we comply with:
- The Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP)
- Mandatory KYC and source-of-funds checks
- Segregation of player balances from company funds
- Integration with the GAMSTOP national self-exclusion scheme
How is fairness of the games guaranteed?
All real-money games run on certified Random Number Generators that meet the UKGC Remote Technical Standards. Each individual game studio (NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Microgaming, etc.) submits its software to an accredited test house before it can be added to the lobby. RTP percentages are fixed at the studio level and cannot be altered by the operator.
What other casinos belong to the same operator?
ProgressPlay runs well over a hundred UK-facing brands on the same platform. Recognisable sister sites include Mobile Wins, Vegas Paradise, Fruity King, MrRex, PlayUK, JeffBet and Casino Kings. Important: a single GAMSTOP self-exclusion blocks every brand on the network, because they all share UKGC account 39335.
