The Full Story Behind LC International
About LC International Limited
LC International Limited is the UK online gambling operator behind the Ladbrokes and Coral part of the Entain group. The "LC" stands for Ladbrokes Coral — the name came from the Ladbrokes and Coral merger in 2016.
In 2018, GVC Holdings (now Entain) acquired Ladbrokes Coral for £4 billion. Entain then consolidated several UK online brands under one UKGC licence holder, and LC International became the main operating company you'll see in site footers and on payment records. The current UK licence is 54743 (licence start: 1 July 2019). The full range of Ladbrokes sister sites now sits under the LC International umbrella.
Today, LC International Limited is registered in Gibraltar under company number 46808. The licence covers remote bingo, casino, betting and pool betting, and it now includes other brands, with Foxy Bingo and PartyCasino also operated by LC International. Entain plc is the parent group that owns the brands; LC International is the licensed operator that runs them for UK players.
In practical terms: your customer contract is with LC International, while Entain is the listed parent you'll see in company news and investor updates. The full Entain owner guide covers the corporate history, leadership and acquisition trail.

If you don't recognise a charge on your statement, check the transaction history inside each brand account and match the date and amount. Some brands have multiple products (bingo, casino, sportsbook), so a payment may relate to a different section of the same site. Our guides to sites like Foxy Bingo and Gala Bingo sister sites cover how the brands connect across the network. For the full list of trading names and domains, check the UKGC public register entry for licence 54743.
Player Protections and Safety

Regulatory Record
LC International Limited was fined £14 million by the UK Gambling Commission in August 2022 for anti-money laundering and social responsibility failures. According to the UKGC regulatory sanctions page, the investigation found failings in processes designed to prevent money laundering and to protect vulnerable customers. A separate £3 million fine was issued against Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming Limited at the same time, bringing the total Entain group penalty to £17 million. The Commission explicitly warned that licence removal was a real possibility.
Since the 2022 enforcement, LC International has tightened verification processes, introduced earlier affordability checks, and strengthened cross-brand self-exclusion. The Entain regulatory history covers the full timeline, including the earlier £5.9 million fine and the £585 million HMRC settlement.

Glitzy Bingo and LC International
Glitzy Bingo has worked with LC International brands through Entain Partners since 2019. The platform is stable and the game libraries are extensive across the network, from Foxy's bingo rooms through to alternatives to PartyCasino on the casino side. The regulatory record matters, but the post-2022 compliance changes are visible in day-to-day checks around verification and affordability.
LC International: FAQs
- What is LC International Limited?
LC International Limited is the remote gambling operator behind Entain's UK online brands, including Foxy Bingo, Gala Bingo, Ladbrokes, Coral and PartyCasino. It holds UK Gambling Commission licence 54743 and is registered in Gibraltar under company number 46808. If you play at any of these sites, LC International is the legal entity responsible for your account.
- Why does my bank statement say LC International?
Payments are processed under the operator's legal name, not the brand. Deposits and withdrawals at Foxy Bingo, Gala Bingo, Ladbrokes, Coral or PartyCasino will appear on your statement as LC International Limited or LC International Ltd. This is standard practice required by payment regulations. If you do not recognise a charge, log into each brand and check your transaction history.
- What sites does LC International operate?
The main LC International sites for UK players are Foxy Bingo, Gala Bingo, Ladbrokes, Coral and PartyCasino. Sub-brands include Gala Casino, Gala Spins and Foxy Games. Internationally, the licence also covers bwin, partypoker and Sportingbet, though these are geo-blocked in the UK. The full list of trading names and domains is on the UKGC public register under licence 54743.
- Is LC International the same as Entain?
Not exactly. Entain plc is the publicly listed parent company that owns the brands. LC International Limited is the subsidiary that holds the UKGC licence and operates the sites day to day. Your legal relationship as a player is with LC International. Corporate news, share prices and acquisitions relate to Entain plc.
- Is LC International safe?
LC International holds a current UKGC remote gambling licence (54743), which means it must follow UK rules on player verification, game fairness and complaint handling. Customer funds are held at Medium protection level, all sites are GAMSTOP connected, and the independent dispute provider is IBAS. To confirm a site is genuine, check the footer for licence 54743 and verify the domain on the UKGC public register.
- If I self-exclude from one LC International site, am I blocked from all of them?
Because all LC International brands share UKGC licence 54743, self-exclusion is intended to apply across the group. If you exclude from Foxy Bingo, you should also be blocked from Gala Bingo, Ladbrokes, Coral and the other LC International brands. For guaranteed coverage across all UK-licensed operators, register with GAMSTOP. If you have self-excluded but can still access an LC International site, contact their support immediately.
- Is Ladbrokes the same as LC International?
Ladbrokes is one of the brands operated by LC International Limited. When you play at Ladbrokes online, your account sits under LC International's UKGC licence 54743. The "LC" actually stands for Ladbrokes Coral — the name dates back to when Ladbrokes and Coral merged their online operations. So Ladbrokes is not the same company as LC International, but LC International is the operator running Ladbrokes for UK players. You'll see LC International Limited in the Ladbrokes site footer and on your bank statement.
- Is Foxy Bingo part of Ladbrokes?
Foxy Bingo and Ladbrokes are separate brands, but they are both operated by the same company: LC International Limited, under UKGC licence 54743. They share the same parent group (Entain plc), the same platform and many of the same bingo rooms. So while Foxy Bingo is not "part of" Ladbrokes as a brand, they are sister sites under one operator. See the full list of sites like Foxy Bingo for more.
- Does LC International have a good reputation?
LC International Limited holds a current UKGC licence and operates some of the most recognised gambling brands in the UK. However, it was fined £14 million in 2022 for anti-money laundering and social responsibility failures, and the Gambling Commission warned that licence removal was considered. Since then, the company has tightened verification and affordability checks. Whether you consider that a good reputation depends on how much weight you give to the regulatory record versus the improvements since.
- Does LC International have an app?
LC International does not have its own app — it is an operator, not a brand. However, the brands it operates each have their own apps. Foxy Bingo, Gala Bingo, Ladbrokes and Coral all have dedicated apps for iOS and Android. PartyCasino also has an app. Each app is listed under the brand name in the App Store or Google Play, not under LC International.
- What does LC stand for in LC International?
LC stands for Ladbrokes Coral. The company was created when Ladbrokes and Coral merged their online gambling operations into a single business. The name stuck even after GVC Holdings (now Entain) acquired the Ladbrokes Coral Group in 2018 and added more brands like Foxy Bingo and PartyCasino to the licence.
- What is LC International Ltd London?
If you have seen "LC International Ltd" alongside a London reference, this is likely from a payment record or company filing. LC International Limited is actually registered in Gibraltar (company number 46808), not London. However, its parent company Entain plc has UK offices, and payment processing routes may show a London address. The operator's official head office is Suite 6, Atlantic Suites, Europort Avenue, Gibraltar.
