UK Gaming Platforms & Licensing

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) is the government body responsible for regulating commercial gambling in Great Britain. All online gambling operators accepting UK customers must hold a valid UKGC licence and comply with strict rules on responsible gambling, advertising, and consumer protection. You can verify any operator's licence status on the UKGC public register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.

You can check any operator's licence status by visiting the UK Gambling Commission's public register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk. Enter the operator's name or company name to see their licence status, conditions, and history. Legitimate operators will also display their licence number in their website footer.

We endeavour to keep our platform information current, but features, terms, and regulatory status can change without notice. Always verify current details directly with the platform operator before making any decisions. If you notice outdated information, please contact us at .

Responsible Gambling & Support

The most effective way to self-exclude in the UK is through GamStop (gamstop.co.uk), the national online self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GamStop is free and blocks you from all participating UKGC-licensed online platforms simultaneously for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Once registered, you cannot reverse the exclusion before the chosen period ends. Individual operators must also offer their own self-exclusion through account settings.

Free, confidential support is available from several organisations:

National Gambling Helpline (GamCare): 0808 8020 133 — free, 8am–midnight daily, plus 24/7 LiveChat at gamcare.org.uk
GambleAware: begambleaware.org — resources, self-assessment tools, treatment directory
Gordon Moody: gordonmoody.org.uk — residential and intensive treatment programmes
Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org.uk — local support groups nationwide

Help is also available for family members affected by someone else's gambling problem.

Under UK Gambling Commission requirements, all licensed operators must offer: deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly), loss limits, session time limits, reality check reminders, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion options, and links to support organisations. Operators must also conduct affordability assessments and contact customers showing signs of problem gambling. These requirements were significantly strengthened following the 2023 UK Gambling White Paper.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break from gambling, typically 24 hours to a few weeks, after which your account becomes accessible again. Self-exclusion is a more serious, longer-term commitment (minimum 6 months via GamStop) that cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. Self-exclusion is recommended for anyone who feels they are losing control of their gambling.
