LiSense Launches GB Licence Monitoring Platform with Bally’s, BoyleSports and Light & Wonder

New Compliance Tool Automates Daily Checks of Gambling Commission Register

LiSense, a continuous licence monitoring platform operated by Li-Sense Technology Limited, launched on 3 September 2026 with commercial agreements already in place with Bally’s, BoyleSports, and Light & Wonder. The platform scans more than 300,000 data points on the Gambling Commission public register daily, alerting subscribers the moment a licence status changes.

Compliance obligations for GB-licensed gambling businesses have expanded sharply following a revised financial penalties framework that took effect in October 2025 and a 25% rise in Gambling Commission licence fees confirmed for October 2026.

Platform Features and Functionality

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts

LiSense monitors more than 300,000 data points on the Gambling Commission public register on a daily basis. It instantly identifies when an operating or personal licence is suspended, surrendered, revoked, or varied—changes that periodic manual checks routinely miss.

A monitoring dashboard surfaces those changes in real time, while an alerts module notifies subscribers by email and SMS with guidance on required actions. Every detected change is logged in a time-stamped audit trail, giving compliance teams a clear record of activity.

Extended Licence History and Navigation Tools

Licence histories are retained beyond the Gambling Commission’s standard three-year retention window, providing compliance teams with a longer-horizon record for due diligence purposes.

Beyond status monitoring, the platform offers a navigation layer over the Gambling Commission’s public register. It covers both licensed businesses and personal licence holders, enabling users to monitor competitors’ licensing activity and track payment deadlines for annual fees, the statutory levy, and the economic crime levy.

Launch Partnerships and Target Market

Initial Commercial Partners

The platform launches with three named commercial partners: Bally’s, BoyleSports, and Light & Wonder. LiSense is positioned for use by GB-licensed operators and suppliers, as well as by adjacent businesses including media partners, affiliates, football clubs, search engines, and payment providers. These organisations need to verify the licence status of counterparties throughout ongoing business relationships.

International market expansion is under way, though no specific jurisdictions have been confirmed at launch.

Industry Expert Perspective

Andy Bentley, co-founder of LiSense, said: “The Gambling Commission’s expectation is clear: checking a licence at onboarding is not enough – oversight must be ongoing. We built LiSense to automate both the onboarding check and the continuous monitoring that follows. It’s built by a team who have sat on both sides of the regulatory table, and understand that licences are a privilege not a right.”

Regulatory Context and Enforcement Climate

Heightened Compliance Pressure

LiSense enters the market at a moment of heightened enforcement activity. The Gambling Commission confirmed a 25% rise in operating licence fees from October 2026, while a revised financial penalties framework—which ties fines to a percentage of gross gambling yield—took effect in October 2025.

Between May and December 2025 alone, the Commission took regulatory action against 13 operators for failings across AML, social responsibility, and technical obligations. According to the PR, more than £21 million was paid in Gambling Commission financial penalties and regulatory settlements in the 12 months to July 2026.

Platform Development and Team Expertise

The platform was engineered by Presidio, a global digital services and cybersecurity firm. LiSense’s founding team carries more than 80 years’ combined experience across gambling regulation, legal advisory, and B2C and B2B operations.
