CasinoChan Sister Sites

Short answer: yes, CasinoChan has sisters — it is one brand inside a large offshore group, not a one-off. It is run by the operator behind dozens of similar casinos, historically Dama N.V. of Curaçao and, in the site’s current terms, Novatrix SRL, registered in Costa Rica. But the detail that matters most if you are in the UK is this: CasinoChan is offshore and is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. It sits outside the UK system, so the national online self-exclusion scheme does not reach it and the UK consumer protections you may be used to simply do not apply here.

This page is written for someone already searching for the brand. It is information and a set of warnings, not a recommendation — and we have deliberately left out anything we could not stand behind.

Who actually runs CasinoChan

For years CasinoChan was one of the best-known casinos operated by Dama N.V., a Curaçao company that ran a sprawling family of offshore brands on the SoftSwiss platform. During 2025 that group was restructured, and a large batch of its casinos — CasinoChan among them — were moved across to a newer company, Novatrix SRL, registered under the laws of Costa Rica. Both the operator databases that read each casino’s own terms and independent reviewers describe this same Dama-to-Novatrix hand-over (AskGamblers’ Novatrix SRL listing; Casino Guru’s review).

On licensing, be careful. CasinoChan’s terms and the main casino databases point to exotic offshore permits — a Tobique Gaming Commission licence (a First Nation body in New Brunswick, Canada), with some listings also citing an Anjouan (Comoros) permit — plus the older Curaçao lineage. None of those is a UK licence. We could not confirm a specific licence number on any of those regulators’ own public registers, so we will not print one; treating an unverifiable number as fact is exactly how affiliate pages mislead people. What we can say plainly is what does not exist: CasinoChan holds no UK Gambling Commission licence. If you see a page claiming it does, that page is wrong.

CasinoChan’s sister sites

Offshore groups do not publish a clean, official brand list the way a UK operator’s licence page does, so the honest basis for “sisters” here is the operator named in each casino’s own terms, as catalogued in the main casino databases — not recycled “similar casino” affiliate lists. On that basis, these brands sit in the same Dama N.V. / Novatrix SRL cluster as CasinoChan:

Two honest caveats. First, this roster shifts: because brands have been moving between Dama N.V. and Novatrix SRL, the operator named on any one site’s terms can change, so always check the footer of the specific casino rather than trusting a list. Second, and more important for your money: every one of these is offshore and none is UK-licensed, so “sister” here means “same offshore operator”, not “same protections”. Moving between them does not move you any closer to the UK safety net.

What this means for a UK player — the risks first

• No UK complaints or dispute route. Because there is no UKGC licence, you have no access to a UK-approved alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service and no UK regulator to escalate to. If a withdrawal is refused, your leverage is limited to the casino’s own support and the Curaçao/Costa Rica framework. This is not theoretical — there is a documented pattern of players reporting confiscated winnings at CasinoChan and its stablemates.
• No UK fund protection. UKGC operators must disclose how they hold customer money against a defined protection rating. Offshore, there is no equivalent guarantee that your balance is ring-fenced if the operator fails.
• It sits outside the national online self-exclusion scheme. If you have self-excluded from UK-licensed gambling, that block does not cover CasinoChan — the site is outside the scheme, so self-exclusion will not stop you signing up. If you are self-excluded, that is the strongest possible reason to stay away, not a loophole to use.
• Deposit limits are per-account only. Any limit you set applies to that one account and does not carry across the group’s other brands, so a limit here does nothing to restrain a fresh sign-up at a sister. There is no network-wide brake.
• Offshore bonus terms are usually heavier. Wagering requirements, max-bet-while-bonus rules and withdrawal caps at offshore casinos tend to be stricter than the UKGC-regulated norm, and they are enforced by the operator’s own team. Read the specific terms before you deposit — do not assume UK-style limits apply.
• Practical friction. UK banks frequently block gambling transactions to unlicensed offshore sites, so deposits and withdrawals can fail or stall, and KYC checks tend to surface at withdrawal time rather than sign-up.

The honest verdict

If your priority is protection rather than access to a particular offshore brand, a UK Gambling Commission–licensed casino is the safer choice — not because it removes the risk of losing (it does not), but because it gives you a regulator to complain to, defined fund-protection disclosure, and a self-exclusion scheme that actually works across every UK site at once. CasinoChan offers none of that. It is a real, established offshore brand with a large family of siblings, and it is being honest with you to say that its sisters share its operator, not its safeguards.

Whatever you play, decide your deposit limit before you deposit, while it is a calm decision, and keep it as entertainment spend rather than a way to make money.
