The current Space Casino website at spacecasino.com identifies Luminect Limited B.V., a Curacao company (number 165187), as the operator. Its published licence reference is OGL/2024/358/0707 under the Curacao Gaming Control Board. This research did not find an active UK Gambling Commission record for the present spacecasino.com operation. The Commission’s public register entry for the related UK domain, www.spacecasino.co.uk, is listed as inactive under a different legal entity, STech Technology UK Limited. The Space Casino UKGC licence question therefore has two separate answers that should not be combined: a current foreign-licensed operation for spacecasino.com and a closed UK-domain record under a different company.
Ensure you are playing only on safe platforms by learning how to verify an active UKGC licence.
The current operator: Luminect Limited B.V. on a Curacao licence
The Space Casino about page confirms that spacecasino.com is operated by Luminect Limited B.V., incorporated in Curacao with company number 165187, and licensed by the Curacao Gaming Control Board under reference OGL/2024/358/0707. That is the live regulatory record behind the present site. It identifies the legal operator, the jurisdiction, the licence number and the issuing regulator. For a brand-name question such as “who runs Space Casino today”, these are the controlling facts.
A Curacao licence is a real licence. It establishes that an authorised regulator has approved a named operator for online gambling activity in its own framework. What it does not do is extend that authorisation into other jurisdictions. The licence applies to Luminect Limited B.V. under Curacao rules. It does not, by itself, authorise Luminect Limited B.V. to advertise to or accept customers from Great Britain.
The inactive UK domain entry: www.spacecasino.co.uk under STech
The UK Gambling Commission keeps a public register of licensed businesses. The register entry for the domain www.spacecasino.co.uk is held under STech Technology UK Limited, a UK-incorporated company. At the time of this research the domain entry is marked inactive, which means the Commission’s records no longer show that domain as authorised for live remote gambling activity. STech Technology UK Limited and Luminect Limited B.V. are different legal entities. www.spacecasino.co.uk and spacecasino.com are different domains.
That distinction is the centre of the Space Casino UKGC licence puzzle. The same brand name has, at different points in time, been associated with a UK-licensed operation and an offshore-licensed operation. The UK arm is no longer active on the register; the offshore arm is the one currently behind spacecasino.com. Treating these as a single story produces an incorrect “Space Casino is UKGC licensed” claim. Read separately, they support a more accurate statement: a related UK domain held a UKGC licence in the past, the present site uses a different domain and a different company under a Curacao licence, and the UK-domain Commission record is now inactive.
For a search reader the brand-name overlap is the easiest source of confusion. Third-party reviews dated before the UK record went inactive can still appear in search results and still describe a UKGC-licensed Space Casino in the present tense. Those reviews are not lying about the past, but they are stale as a description of the operation behind spacecasino.com today. A check against the public register replaces the stale claim with the current state.

<h2>How two true records can sit together without contradiction</h2>
<p>The licence picture only looks contradictory when the records are merged. Read on their own, they describe different things at different times. The Curacao Gaming Control Board record describes a current authorisation for Luminect Limited B.V. for activity on spacecasino.com. The UK Gambling Commission record describes a historic authorisation for STech Technology UK Limited for activity on www.spacecasino.co.uk, with the entry now marked inactive on the public register. There is no need to choose between them; both reflect what their respective regulators have on file.</p>
<p>What changes once that is accepted is the shape of any UK-facing summary. Statements that combine the records, such as "Space Casino is licensed by the Gambling Commission and by Curacao", are inaccurate as a description of the present site. The accurate version is narrower: spacecasino.com today is licensed by the Curacao Gaming Control Board through Luminect Limited B.V., and the related UK domain entry under STech is on the Commission's register as inactive. That narrower statement supports a UK-facing review without overstating the operator's local authorisation.</p>

<h2>Why a Curacao licence is not a Gambling Commission licence</h2>
<p>Great Britain regulates remote gambling through the Gambling Commission. Operators that advertise to or accept customers in Great Britain are expected to hold the relevant Commission licence regardless of where they are based. A licence from another jurisdiction is not converted into a Gambling Commission licence by similarity of activity. The Curacao Gaming Control Board sets its own rules; the Gambling Commission sets the British ones. A reader who sees the Curacao reference OGL/2024/358/0707 on spacecasino.com should read it as "Luminect Limited B.V. is regulated in Curacao", not as evidence of British authorisation.</p>
<p>This is the practical reason for treating the inactive www.spacecasino.co.uk record carefully. It cannot be retroactively used to imply that the live spacecasino.com is Gambling Commission licensed today. The record relates to a different entity and a different domain, and its current status is inactive on the public register.</p>

<h2>What this means for UK readers</h2>
<p>Two operator and licence facts shape the Space Casino UK picture. First, the official spacecasino.com terms list United Kingdom residents among customers not accepted by Luminect Limited B.V. Second, no active UK Gambling Commission licence has been verified here for the current spacecasino.com operation. Together those facts mean the brand has both a country-restriction wording and a missing local-authorisation wording. Either of those alone would warrant caution. Both together make UK availability claims unsafe.</p>
<p>The brand-level overview of the present operation sits on the <a href="/availability/">Is Available in the UK?</a> page. The day-to-day method for testing future UKGC claims is on the <a href="/ukgc-check/">How to Check a UKGC Licence for an Online Casino</a> guide. The broader regulatory framing of why Great Britain treats remote gambling licensing as a local question is covered in <a href="/remote-gambling-law/">Remote Gambling Law: Why Licence Scope Matters</a>.

<h2>Safe wording, ready to use</h2>
<p>For anyone summarising the Space Casino licence position in a single sentence, the following phrasings stay inside the evidence: "Spacecasino.com is operated by Luminect Limited B.V. on a Curacao Gaming Control Board licence (reference OGL/2024/358/0707); the UK Gambling Commission public register entry for the related www.spacecasino.co.uk domain under STech Technology UK Limited is inactive, and no current Gambling Commission licence has been verified for the present spacecasino.com operation." Wording that compresses this into "Space Casino is UKGC licensed" or "Space Casino has a UK gambling licence" goes beyond the records.</p>

<h2>How to confirm the position yourself</h2>
<p>The Commission's <a href="https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register" rel="external noopener" target="_blank">public register</a> is the canonical place to test any UKGC claim. Searching by domain, by operator legal name, or by trading name will return the relevant entries and their current status, including the activities they cover and any change history. The operator side of the picture can be cross-checked against the Space Casino <a href="https://www.spacecasino.com/about-us" rel="external noopener" target="_blank">official about page</a>, which lists the Curacao licence reference. The two records together tell the full story; reading only one creates a partial answer. The companion <a href="/uk-rules/">UK rules</a> page sets out the broader research workflow that surrounds these checks.</p>

<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<details>
<summary>Is the current spacecasino.com site UK Gambling Commission licensed?</summary>
<p>No current Gambling Commission licence has been verified here for the present spacecasino.com operation under Luminect Limited B.V. The Curacao licence reference applies to Curacao regulation only.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>What does the inactive UKGC entry for www.spacecasino.co.uk mean?</summary>
<p>It means a UK Gambling Commission record exists for that domain under STech Technology UK Limited, but the Commission's register no longer shows it as active. It cannot be used to imply that the different spacecasino.com domain is currently UKGC authorised.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Are Luminect Limited B.V. and STech Technology UK Limited the same company?</summary>
<p>No. Luminect Limited B.V. is incorporated in Curacao (company 165187). STech Technology UK Limited is incorporated in the UK. They are separate legal entities holding records for different domains.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>If the UK domain record is inactive, can the current site still serve UK players?</summary>
<p>The two questions are separate. Inactive status on the UK domain record is a Commission-register fact about www.spacecasino.co.uk under STech. Whether the current spacecasino.com under Luminect serves UK residents is governed by that operator's own terms, which currently list United Kingdom residents among customers not accepted.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Does the Curacao licence apply to any complaint a UK reader might want to make?</summary>
<p>The Curacao licence covers Luminect Limited B.V. under Curacao rules. Complaints follow the operator's own process and the regulator that licenses it. It is not a Gambling Commission ADR route and does not by itself create UK consumer-protection rights.</p>
