Does Ice36 have sisters, and who is behind it?

Yes, Ice36 has a large family of sister sites, and the company behind it is Skill On Net Limited — one of the longer-running operators in the UK market. The name "ice36" is a registered trading name on Skill On Net's UK Gambling Commission licence, account 39326, and the address ice36.co.uk is listed as an active domain on that same licence.

That detail matters more than it looks, because there is a catch worth reading before you deposit anywhere. Ice36 is a genuine UK-licensed brand on its .co.uk address — but Ice36-branded sites also circulate on other domains, such as ice36.gb.net and ice36.casino, and those addresses are not on the UK register. A familiar name on an unfamiliar domain is the single most useful thing to check here, so the rest of this page is built around it.

What the register verifies, and what it doesn't

Skill On Net has held a UK licence for years and runs its stable of casino brands from one shared back end, which is why its sites tend to feel closely related once you are inside them. On the public register the company's remote casino, bingo and software licences all show as active, and both the "ice36" trading name and the ice36.co.uk domain sit under account 39326.

A note on honesty, because the reason this page was rewritten is that the earlier version carried licence numbers we could not stand behind. Affiliate write-ups routinely quote a Malta Gaming Authority number and a company registration for Ice36. We could not confirm those on the relevant regulator's own register, so we are not printing them. The one licence claim we can verify — and did, on the Commission's own published data — is the UKGC account number above. Anything else, check against the source yourself rather than take it from a review page.

For context rather than alarm: in May 2023 the Gambling Commission required Skill On Net to pay £305,150 in lieu of a penalty over anti-money-laundering and social-responsibility failings found in 2021 and 2022. It is a matter of public record and a fair thing to weigh up about any operator.

Ice36's verified sister sites

These brands sit on the same Skill On Net licence as Ice36, so they share the operator, the cashier and the account-level controls behind the scenes. They are not copies of one another — the lobbies, promotions and loyalty schemes are separate — but the company you are dealing with is the same one.

One thing to keep straight: the same licence also hosts a number of white-label brands — sites such as Slingo, Genting Casino and Luna Casino — that are run by other companies using Skill On Net's platform. They share plumbing, not ownership, so they are not true sisters of Ice36 in the way the brands above are. Duelz, often filed alongside these, is a different licensee altogether (SuprPlay Limited), not a Skill On Net brand at all.

The real risk: which Ice36 are you actually on?

This is where the offshore warning belongs. Play on ice36.co.uk and you are on a UK-licensed site with the protections that licence carries. Land on an Ice36-branded page on a domain that is not on the register, and you are outside the UK system — and that difference is not cosmetic:

  • No UK complaints or dispute route. A UKGC licence gives you an approved alternative dispute resolution service to escalate to if a withdrawal or bonus dispute goes wrong. Off the register, that route is not open to you.
  • No UK fund-protection standard. Licensed operators must tell you how customer money is held. An unlisted site owes you none of that, and its terms may not even name the company holding your balance — ice36.gb.net's terms name no operator at all.
  • Outside the national online self-exclusion scheme. Registering with the national online self-exclusion scheme blocks UK-licensed sites. It does not reach sites that sit outside the UK system, so an off-register domain will still let you in. If you rely on self-exclusion as a tool, that gap defeats the point of it.
  • Deposit limits do not travel. Any limit you set is per account, per site. A new brand on a new domain is a fresh account with no memory of a limit you set anywhere else.
  • Bonus terms tend to be heavier. Off-register promotions often carry steeper wagering and tighter caps than UK rules permit, and you have far less recourse if they are applied unfairly.

None of that is a reason to go looking for those domains. It is a reason to read the address bar and confirm the exact domain on the Commission's register before you put money in.

Our verdict

Ice36 is a real, UK-licensed Skill On Net brand with a genuine and sizeable family of sisters — that part of the story holds up. The safer choice is simple: stay on the version that is on the UK register, ice36.co.uk, or use another UKGC-licensed site, and treat any Ice36-branded page on a .gb.net, .casino or similar address as a separate proposition that has not earned the same trust. When two sites share a name and only one is on the register, the register is the one that counts.

Whichever site you use, the account tools — deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion — only work if you set them, and they will not follow you to a new brand.
