What this means

This is an observation about a register, not a verdict on w88.co.uk.
The UK Gambling Commission's register gives no reason for the “Inactive” status, and we hold no publication from the UKGC that does.
BXO Holdings Limited may still hold an active licence for other domains: an operator's licence and a register's list of its domains are separate records.
w88.co.uk may be licensed by a regulator we do not read. iGregulator covers seven: UKGC, MGA, Curaçao, Kahnawake, Anjouan, Tobique and the Isle of Man.
For the live answer, check the regulator's own page — UKGC register data ↗ — or call /v1/check below.

response trimmed: the live one also carries _meta (source URL, read time)

"domain_status": "delisted" is the endpoint saying what this page says: the register no longer lists this domain as active for that operator. status is the operator's licence — a separate record. No API key needed (10 requests/hour); AI agents can connect over MCP at mcp.igregulator.io/mcp.
