Guts at a glance
Guts is a live, actively geo-restricting casino operated by Zecure Gaming Limited, which AskGamblers ties to the much larger Betsson Group. The single most notable fact this review turned up is a recent one: Zecure Gaming Limited’s UK Gambling Commission licence for remote Casino activity was surrendered on 22 June 2026, only a couple of months before this review was written. That does not affect Irish players directly, since a UK licence never covered Ireland in the first place, but it is exactly the kind of change a searcher typing “Guts Casino licence” deserves to find.

Licence and who runs it
AskGamblers names Zecure Gaming Limited as the operator behind Guts and states a Malta Gaming Authority licence, describing the company as part of the Betsson Group. This review checked the UK Gambling Commission’s own public register directly rather than stopping at that claim, and found something worth flagging: Zecure Gaming Limited’s UK account, number 56427, held a remote Casino licence, 056427-R-332277-006, but its status is now Surrendered, with an end date of 22 June 2026. A licence surrender is a voluntary step taken by the operator, distinct from a regulator revoking or suspending a licence for misconduct, and this review found no public explanation for why Zecure Gaming Limited chose to give up its UK remote casino authorisation.
Since a UK Gambling Commission licence only ever covered activity in Great Britain, this surrender has no direct bearing on whether Guts can legally serve Irish players, and AskGamblers’ restricted-country list for Guts does not name Ireland. What it does mean is that one of the two regulators a searcher might reasonably associate with this brand no longer applies, leaving the stated Malta Gaming Authority licence as the one actually relevant to an EU or Irish player. This review could not check that Malta licence number against the MGA’s own register, so it is reported here as stated rather than confirmed.
Betsson AB, the wider group AskGamblers ties Zecure Gaming Limited to, is a real, substantial company: founded in Sweden in 1963 by Bill Lindwall and Rolf Lundström as a slot-machine supplier to restaurants, now listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and running a dual Malta-and-Stockholm headquarters structure, according to its own Wikipedia article. That article names brands including betsson.com, betsafe.com and casinoeuro.com, but does not itself list Guts or Zecure Gaming among them, so this review is relying on AskGamblers for that specific corporate link rather than an independently confirmed source.
Betsson’s own 1963 origin story, two founders starting out by placing slot machines in Swedish restaurants, is a reminder of how far the industry has travelled from coin-operated cabinets to licence registers and geo-blocked websites. Whether that heritage says anything useful about Zecure Gaming Limited’s day-to-day conduct today is a separate question this review cannot answer from a corporate history alone.
Deposits, withdrawals and how long they take
AskGamblers states e-wallet withdrawals complete within 0 to 24 hours, while card and bank transfer withdrawals take 1 to 5 days. The minimum withdrawal is €20, and withdrawal fees apply, which is less common among the brands checked for this site and worth budgeting for. No maximum withdrawal limit could be confirmed. None of these figures were verified against Guts’ own current terms directly.
Credit cards are banned for gambling deposits under Ireland’s Gambling Regulation Act 2024 regardless of what Guts’ own payment menu shows, so a debit card or an e-wallet is the practical route for an Irish player.
What players report
This review could not access Trustpilot, which returned an automated bot-verification challenge rather than a page of reviews, and the AskGamblers material available did not go beyond the licence and withdrawal details already reported here. No confirmed complaint pattern, positive or negative, can be reported for Guts.
Bonuses and the terms that matter
No current welcome offer, wagering requirement or game-weighting table could be verified for Guts from any source this review could access. Under Ireland’s Gambling Regulation Act 2024, inducements such as complimentary bets and matched deposits are due to be prohibited once operators come under Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland licensing, so whatever offer Guts currently runs exists under its stated Malta framework rather than an Irish one.
A brand giving up a UK licence while apparently continuing to operate for other markets is not, on its own, an unusual pattern in this industry; UK regulation has tightened considerably in recent years, and some operators have chosen to focus resources on jurisdictions with lower compliance overheads rather than maintain licences across every market they once served. That reading is speculative on this review’s part, since Zecure Gaming Limited published no explanation this review could find, and it is offered here as context rather than as a confirmed reason.
Verdict
The recent UK licence surrender is the fact this review would want a searcher to see first, not because it changes anything about Irish eligibility, but because it is recent, verifiable on the regulator’s own register, and the kind of detail that a cached third-party review would not necessarily reflect yet. Beyond that, Guts looks broadly similar to other mid-tier, Malta-licensed casinos reviewed on this site: no red flag on the Irish restricted-country list, reasonably fast e-wallet payouts, but withdrawal fees and a thin independent complaint record.
A player considering Guts should confirm the Malta licence directly, budget for the stated withdrawal fee, and treat the first cashout as the real test of how the site performs. Compare it against the real-money casino list for brands with a fuller UK-and-Malta regulatory picture still intact.
