Responsible Gambling

Betting should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape a problem. Because the sportsbooks we review are non GamStop sites outside GamStop and the UK Gambling Commission, the usual UK safeguards do not apply, which makes your own limits more important, not less.

If you use GamStop, please stop here

GamStop lets UK bettors self-exclude across UK-licensed sites. Non GamStop books are not part of it. If you signed up to GamStop because gambling was harming you, a non GamStop book removes the exact protection you asked for. No free bet is worth that.

Warning signs

  • Chasing losses or staking more than you can afford
  • Betting to escape stress, or feeling anxious about it
  • Borrowing money, or hiding your betting from people close to you

Tools that help

Set deposit and time limits before you bet. Use the reality-check and cooling-off tools most books offer. Block gambling sites at the device or bank level with tools such as Gamban and bank gambling blocks.
