'Have got to' is more informal.
'Have got to' is used more in spoken English and in informal written English, and 'have to' is used more in written language and formal situations.

Hi. Have and have got are the same. bottom are right. but british people use have got . when you use have got you can say you havent got instead of you dont have . for example:
We havent got book.
We dont have book.
bottom are right.
another example is:
She has an apple - She has got an apple "Botthom are right"
and for negative we say She doens't have an apple - She hasn't got an apple.

Have got is more used in British english
I have got an iPhone
"have" is more used in American english
I have an iphone.
Both mean the same if u notice taking away that extra "got" doesn't afecta the sentence at all.
I have got an interview
I have an interview
I have a headache
I have got a headache
I have got 3 tickets
I have 3 tickets.
Just choose which one you'd like to say. As someone mentioned before though, saying "have" is more relaxed Than "have got"

I tend to think of "have got to" as being more more pressing or within a time restraint..as in "I have got to do this now"..or "we have got to go now!" While "have to" is more relaxed.. As in "sorry but I have to go..see you later!" or "I'll see you later I have to run some errands" more often than not in written and spoken English you'll see a contraction of "I" and "have" into "I've".."I've got to"..but never"I've to"
