Licensing
OzzyBet publishes its operating company by name, which is more than many sites in this category do. Its own legal copy states that the site is owned and operated by Novatrix SRL, incorporated under the laws of Costa Rica, company registration number 3-102-893958, with a registered address in the province of Cartago. Costa Rican incorporation is a corporate fact rather than a gambling credential — Costa Rica does not issue online casino licences the way Malta or the UK does, so the licence itself comes from elsewhere.
The licence claim
The operator states that it holds E-gaming licence No. 0000002, issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission. Two caveats belong with that. First, it is the operator's own claim — we have not cross-checked the number against the Tobique Gaming Commission's own licensee registry, so treat it as stated rather than verified, and look it up at the source before a large deposit. Second, Tobique is an offshore-tier licensing body, not an MGA- or UKGC-grade regulator with a well-resourced player-dispute system behind it. That is not the same as being unlicensed, but your practical escalation path if a payout is refused is thinner than under a top-tier regulator.
Why every AU-facing casino is offshore-licensed
Australia's own regulatory framework does not license domestic online casino operators for real-money casino games, so every brand that accepts Australian players is licensed offshore. The useful question is not "offshore or not" — it is which body issued the licence and whether the operator names its company at all. OzzyBet does both openly, which lets you make the judgement yourself instead of guessing.
Before you deposit
- Check the licence number and issuing authority in the operator's own footer or terms at the moment you sign up — these details do get updated.
- Confirm your country is served; the United States and United Kingdom are both restricted, while Australia is not on the operator's restricted list.
- Complete identity verification early, since a valid licence does not speed up a payout held behind unfinished KYC.
Full context on the company, the licence and the operator's other published claims is in our OzzyBet review. See responsible gambling for self-exclusion and support resources available to Australian players regardless of which jurisdiction licenses the operator.
