Who Owns PlayOJO and Where Is It Based?

If you’ve ever wondered who owns PlayOJO, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions we get from players. PlayOJO is operated by SkillOnNet Ltd, a reputable company registered in Malta, with additional offices in London. While many people are curious about the official registration and PlayOJO headquarters, what matters most for players is licensing.

We always encourage you to check the UK Gambling Commission register to ensure any casino, including PlayOJO, is fully legit before you play.

PlayOJO Company Ownership

Who runs PlayOJO? Brand, operator, and licence holder explained

Time to pull back the curtain. While PlayOJO is the name you see splashed across the site and in those cheeky ads, the real brains behind the operation is SkillOnNet Ltd. They’re the ones running the show, handling everything from the platform itself to holding the official gambling licence.

So, while you’re enjoying all PlayOJO (the brand) has to offer, remember that it’s SkillOnNet (the operator) working behind the scenes to ensure everything is safe, fair, responsible, above board and fully legal.

Is PlayOJO part of a bigger group?

Absolutely. SkillOnNet isn’t just PlayOJO’s owner. The award-winning operator runs a handful of other casino brands too. In the gaming industry, that’s how regulated operators tend to work—it’s one company with lots of different casino sites, and each site has its own style and licence.

It’s pretty normal for the brand you recognise to be separate from the company that actually manages the site. That’s important to know because when it comes to your security and fair play, it’s the operator and licence holder that really count, not the brand logo at the top of the page.

How can you check who’s in charge?

• Scroll down to the bottom of the PlayOJO homepage and you’ll spot the licence details. SkillOnNet Ltd is listed as both operator and licence holder.

• Click on the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) badge or link in the footer (the bottom of the page) to see the official PlayOJO licensing information. 

• On the UKGC Public Register (gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register/business), search for “SkillOnNet” or “PlayOJO” to check the current licence status and see which types of games (e.g., casino, sportsbook, etc.) they’re allowed to offer.

• If the details on PlayOJO match what’s on the UKGC register, you know you’re playing with a properly licensed operator.

Where Is PlayOJO Based?

Headquarters vs registered address: what’s the difference?

Have you ever noticed sometimes there’s more than one address listed for an online casino? Like many gaming brands, PlayOJO has both a headquarters and a registered address. The headquarters is where the main team gets things done and makes the big decisions. The registered address is all about legal and licensing matters. For PlayOJO, the main office is in London, while the official registration is in Malta. This setup is standard in the gaming world and is worth knowing even though it doesn’t change your experience as a player.

For most UK players, the day-to-day SkillOnNet PlayOJO experience is shaped by what you can play and game accessibility. A quick browse of the PlayOJO games library gives you a genuine feel for the variety, filters, and speed that matter to real user experience.

What should you look out for?

Scroll to the bottom of the PlayOJO site to find the address and operator info (SkillOnNet Ltd is the name to look for).

Check for the UK Gambling Commission badge or link in the footer for official licence details.

Go to the UKGC Public Register and search for “SkillOnNet” (make sure the address listed matches what’s on the PlayOJO site).

If everything lines up, you’re playing with a properly registered and licensed operator.

Taking a moment to verify these details is a smart move because it ensures you’re choosing a trusted, regulated brand that puts fairness and player safety first.

Legal Licensing

UKGC: What UK Gambling Commission oversight means for you

Spot the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) logo at the bottom of PlayOJO’s site? That’s the sign you’re in good hands. The UKGC is the official watchdog for gambling in the UK, making sure everything is fair, regulated and safe. With a UKGC licence, PlayOJO must meet strict standards for game fairness, player protection, and how your money is handled.

Want to double check if the license is active? You can look up the PlayOJO UKGC licence anytime by searching for SkillOnNet Ltd on the UKGC Public Register. It’s all there in black and white.

MGA: Malta Gaming Authority’s role in multi-market play

The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) is another big name when it comes to casino licensing, especially for brands that operate in more than one country. While UK players are covered by the UKGC, the MGA licence lets PlayOJO bring its games to other markets. Like the Gambling Commission, the MGA is a strict regulator and keeps a close eye on operators, making sure they stick to high player protection standards for fairness and security wherever their sites are live.

Players outside of the UK can go to the MGA’s License Register page (mga.org.mt/licensee-hub/licensee-register/) and search for “Skill On Net Limited” to check the current license status.

Is PlayOJO legal where I live?

PlayOJO’s legal status depends on where you’re playing from. For instance, in the United Kingdom, you’re covered by the UKGC; in Canada, PlayOJO is available in the province of Ontario under local rules (iGaming Ontario); and in Sweden it’s regulated by the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen). Always check the site footer for the right licence details for your region and check that the license is legit with the official regulator listed.
