License and what it means for you
In Ontario, iGaming Ontario lists TigerGen Limited as the operator of Royal Panda. Our data does not name the operator in other countries. Check the site footer for the operator and licence. A licence from Malta, Sweden or Ontario gives more protection than an offshore licence.
Sister sites
LeoVegas Group also runs LeoVegas, BetMGM (UK, Netherlands, Sweden), BetUK, Pink Casino, 21.co.uk, Slot Boss, Expekt and GoGoCasino. A self-exclusion at Royal Panda may not cover them.
Fines and regulator actions
In 2019 the Dutch regulator fined Royal Panda €400,000 for offering games to Dutch players without a Dutch licence. The group also has other actions: LeoVegas Gaming PLC paid £1.32 million to the UK Gambling Commission in 2022, and Sweden fined Roar Vegas Ltd SEK 8 million in 2025. In 2025 Spain's DGOJ also fined LeoVegas Gaming plc twice, €75,000 and €60,000, for not meeting technical requirements. Other actions in our data include: April 2021, Sweden's Spelinspektionen, SEK 2 million (LeoVegas Gaming Plc); May 2026, Sweden's Spelinspektionen, SEK 1.2 million (Oddit Limited); April 2023, AGCO (Ontario), CAD 25,000 (LeoVegas Gaming PLC).
