N1 Casino and Bobcasino: two MGA licences and a Dutch fine

Who holds the licences behind N1 Casino and Bobcasino?

Both n1casino.com and bobcasino.com are listed as websites on the Malta Gaming Authority seal of one company: N1 Interactive Limited, registered in Malta. That listing appears on the MGA licence verification record for N1 Interactive Limited, checked by this desk on 29 September 2026 and rechecked on 30 September 2026. The Malta registration is disclosed by the regulator; we did not obtain an independent corporate extract from the Malta Business Registry, so the company number is not established here.

The verification record shows two separate licence entries for the same company, with two different statuses. A website appearing on an MGA seal is a licensing record, not a statement about who ultimately owns or controls a brand.

A separate certificate status is not established for either licence: the source is the MGA’s own verification page, and no distinct certificate document was observed. On Curaçao-licensed sites the register entry and the certificate on the footer can diverge, which is why we treat them as two observations rather than one — the mechanics are set out in our Curaçao licence check: certificate versus register explainer.

A Malta licence authorises activity under Maltese law. It is not permission to serve customers in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom or any other country that licenses operators locally.

Why does N1 Interactive Limited show both “Licensed” and “Surrendered”?

Because the two entries are two different licences with two different scopes, and only one of them has been given up. Our cross-check of the MGA verification record dated 29 September 2026 records that the Malta Gaming Authority lists MGA/B2C/394/2017 as Licensed and MGA/B2B/801/2020 as Surrendered, and that a single combined “company status” field would be misleading. We therefore keep the two licence entities separate in every table on this page.

In plain terms: a B2C licence covers offering games to consumers, while a B2B licence covers supplying services or games to other licensees. “Surrendered” means the holder gave the licence back rather than the regulator withdrawing it; the MGA record does not state a surrender date, and no expiry date is stated for either licence. Nothing in the record indicates that the surrender of the B2B licence changes the status of the B2C licence, and the B2B status must not be read across to the consumer-facing brands.

Dated snapshots are not guarantees of the current position. Both statuses are as of the record we checked on 29 September 2026 and rechecked on 30 September 2026; readers verifying later should re-run the MGA verification page themselves.

Which websites are listed on the MGA seal?

Twenty distinct domains appear on N1 Interactive Limited’s MGA seal in the snapshot dated 29 September 2026, including both n1casino.com and bobcasino.com. The count of 20 is our arithmetic on the published seal listing: we counted distinct hostnames in that snapshot and removed “www”. Domains are not brands — mirror domains are included — and the groupings below are our own grouping for readability, not an ownership or control finding.

The eight named families cover 16 domains; the remaining four domains appear as single entries. That 16-plus-4 split is our arithmetic on the same snapshot. The seal listing is a point-in-time inventory of websites attached to the B2C licence, not a permanent list, and not a count of markets or customers.

What did the Dutch KSA decide, and how much was the fine?

The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA, the Netherlands Gambling Authority) imposed an administrative fine of EUR 12,640,000 on N1 Interactive Limited, with the decision dated 20 December 2022 and publication on 3 March 2023, according to the KSA fine record for N1 Interactive and the underlying KSA sanction decision, both checked on 29 September 2026. According to the KSA fine page, a court ruled on the appeal on 23 August 2024: the appeal was declared well-founded, but the fine remains in place. We have not reviewed the judgment itself.

The fine sits at the level of N1 Interactive Limited. It must not be divided by, or allocated across, the 20 domains, and sibling brands on the same seal are not separately fined by that decision. Published reporting on the SOFTSWISS-associated grouping, the Casino Secrets: SOFTSWISS article dated 22 September 2026, notes that the underlying KSA decision identifies Bobcasino; we treat that as reported context at entity level rather than a separate allegation against any individual brand.

The KSA fine predates the September 2026 leak reporting by roughly three years, and any link between the two is not established. For the wider entity picture, see our overview of SOFTSWISS-linked companies in the Curaçao files and the country and brand exposure summary. Gambling is for adults of legal age in their own country; anyone worried about their gambling can contact a gambling support service where they live.

What published reporting adds to these records, and how the named company has responded, is set out next.

What the Casino Secrets reporting says about N1 Casino and Bobcasino

The September 2026 Casino Secrets / Curaçao Files reporting places N1 Casino and Bobcasino in operator and network context rather than making a separate accusation against either brand. The relevant article, published on 22 September 2026, discusses the SOFTSWISS-associated grouping at entity level; on our reading, the material about N1 Casino and Bobcasino is context about the licence-holding company and its network, not a brand-specific allegation (Casino Secrets: SOFTSWISS). Sibling sites listed on the same Malta Gaming Authority seal are not separately accused in the sources we reviewed.

The one enforcement record attached to the company sits in the Netherlands and predates the 2026 reporting. The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA, the Dutch gambling regulator) imposed an administrative fine of EUR 12,640,000 on N1 Interactive Limited on 20 December 2022, published on 3 March 2023, and the underlying sanction decision identifies Bobcasino (KSA fine: N1 Interactive; KSA underlying N1 sanction decision). According to the KSA page, a court ruled on 23 August 2024 that the appeal was well-founded but that the fine remains in place. Part 1 of this page sets out the decision dates and the licence table in full.

No connection between the Dutch fine and the 2026 leak reporting is established in the sources reviewed, and none should be inferred. The fine is an operator-level penalty against N1 Interactive Limited; it should not be divided, multiplied or allocated across the 20 domains listed on the Malta seal.

No published response from N1 Interactive Limited, N1 Casino or Bobcasino to the Casino Secrets reporting appears in the sources reviewed for this page, and none is included in our records as of 29 September 2026. That is an absence of a recorded response in our review, not a refusal to comment.

Claim versus evidence: N1 Interactive Limited, N1 Casino and Bobcasino

What is still unresolved about the N1 Casino licence picture

• Whether any regulator has taken action against N1 Interactive Limited since the September 2026 reporting.
• Corporate detail beyond the regulator disclosure: Malta registration is disclosed by the MGA, and no independent corporate-register extract has been obtained.
• The domain list is a seal snapshot dated 29 September 2026, not a permanent inventory; domain counts include mirrors and are not a brand count or a market count.

Why these records matter

For people in the UK checking a casino, the practical point is scope. A Malta B2C licence is a Maltese authorisation; it is not permission to serve customers in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction with its own licensing regime. A register entry is also a dated observation, not a guarantee of the position today.

For industry and compliance readers, the N1 Interactive Limited entry is a clean example of why one company can carry two different licence statuses at once. Reading the surrendered B2B entry as the company’s overall status, or the licensed B2C entry as covering the B2B activity, produces two different errors. The same caution applies to grouping the 20 listed domains: shared listing on a seal is a licensing fact, not a finding about ownership or control. Related network-level context is set out in our page on SOFTSWISS-linked companies in the Curaçao files.

For regulators and journalists, the sequencing matters: an investigation is not a conviction, and the 2022 Dutch fine sits on its own record and timeline, separate from the 2026 reporting. Anyone worried about their own gambling can contact a gambling support service in their country.

How to check the N1 Casino and Bobcasino licence records yourself

1. Open the MGA licence verification page for N1 Interactive Limited and read the licence table row by row, noting MGA/B2C/394/2017 and MGA/B2B/801/2020 separately.
2. Record the date you checked it, because register statuses are point-in-time observations.
3. Scroll to the listed websites and confirm whether the exact domain you are looking at appears there; note that mirrors are listed as separate hostnames.
4. Open the KSA fine page for N1 Interactive and the underlying sanction decision to read the Dutch decision and its procedural history in the original.
5. Check the licensing regulator of your own country separately, since a Malta entry says nothing about local-market permission.
6. If a Curaçao certificate is also displayed, compare it against the register rather than the seal image, using the method in our Curaçao licence check guide; the wider picture of exposed brands and countries is in our Casino Secrets leak overview.

How we checked this

• We reviewed the Malta Gaming Authority’s public licence verification record for N1 Interactive Limited, including both the B2C and B2B licence entries, as an official regulator register rather than a certificate or marketing claim.
• We reviewed the Dutch Kansspelautoriteit (KSA, the Netherlands gambling regulator) fine notice and the underlying sanction decision as official enforcement records, distinguishing the fine as imposed from any later appeal outcome described on the KSA page.
• We reviewed published reporting on the Casino Secrets / Curaçao Files investigation for entity-level context linking N1 Interactive Limited to the wider SOFTSWISS-associated grouping, without extending any allegation to individual sibling brands.
• Research for this page was cut off on 29 September 2026, and the licence and enforcement records cited were rechecked on 30 September 2026.
• We did not access, host or describe the contents of any leaked document beyond what published reporting states, we did not name or describe any individual person connected to these companies, and we did not obtain an independent Malta Business Registry extract; corporate jurisdiction is taken from the regulator’s own disclosure.

Limits

• The 20-domain list attributed to N1 Interactive Limited’s MGA seal is a snapshot dated 29 September 2026, not a permanent inventory; domains can be added or removed by the operator or the regulator afterwards.
• No independent Malta Business Registry extract was obtained, so the jurisdiction and structure of N1 Interactive Limited rest on the regulator’s own disclosure.
• The KSA fine of €12,640,000 was imposed on 20 December 2022 and published on 3 March 2023, predating the 2026 leak reporting; any link between the two is not established.
• The appeal outcome (court ruling of 23 August 2024: appeal well-founded, fine left in place) is taken from the KSA fine page; we have not reviewed the judgment itself.
