Our Commitment
We list only casinos that hold a UK Gambling Commission licence. These operators must check your age and identity, offer safer gambling tools and follow strict rules on fair bonus terms, including the 10x cap on wagering that applies from 19 January 2026.
We present every welcome bonus as what it is: a discount on entertainment with conditions attached. Our reviews show the qualifying stake, wagering, maximum win and expiry of each offer, so you can see the real cost before you play. We never describe a bonus as free money, and we do not target our content at anyone under 18.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling problems can affect anyone and often build slowly. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:
- You spend more money or time on gambling than you planned;
- You chase losses by placing more bets to win money back;
- You borrow money, use credit or sell belongings to gamble;
- You gamble to escape stress, worry or low mood;
- You hide your gambling or lie to family and friends about it;
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down;
- Gambling affects your work, studies, sleep or relationships;
- You claim welcome offers one after another to keep playing.
If you recognise 1 or more of these signs, it is a good moment to pause, use the tools below and talk to one of the support organisations listed on this page.
Tools Available at UK Casinos
Every casino licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must give you tools to control your play. You can usually set them in your account settings or by contacting the casino’s customer support:
- Deposit limits: cap how much you can deposit per day, week or month. A lower limit applies straight away, while a higher limit only takes effect after a cooling-off period;
- Loss and stake limits: restrict how much you can lose or bet over a set period;
- Reality checks: pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent;
- Time-outs: a short break from gambling at that casino, from 24 hours up to 6 weeks;
- Self-exclusion: a longer block of at least 6 months, during which the casino must close your account and stop sending you marketing;
- Account closure: you can close your account at any time.
Before claiming a welcome offer, set a deposit limit that fits your budget. A bonus should never push you to deposit more than you planned.
Self-Exclusion with GAMSTOP
GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme for Great Britain. One registration blocks you from all online gambling websites and apps licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. The exclusion cannot be cancelled before the chosen period ends, and after it ends you must contact GAMSTOP to remove it.
You can register at gamstop.co.uk. Many UK banks also let you block gambling transactions on your debit card through their banking app, which adds a 2nd layer of protection.
Preventing Underage Gambling
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 or over. UKGC-licensed casinos must verify your age and identity before you can deposit or gamble.
If you share a computer, phone or tablet with children, keep your login details private, do not save passwords in the browser and log out after every session. Blocking software such as Gamban, GamBlock and Net Nanny can stop access to gambling sites on shared devices.
