Responsible Gaming in the United Kingdom

Gambling should be entertainment. For most people it is, but for some it becomes a problem, and UK Gaming Review wants every reader to know where the line is and where to get help.

Signs of a problem

• Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
• Chasing losses, or borrowing money to gamble
• Gambling to escape stress, boredom or low mood
• Hiding your gambling from family or friends
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down

Where to get help

If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone close to you, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (GamCare, free, 24 hours) or visit BeGambleAware.org. Help is free and confidential.

Tools that help

Every operator we review is subject to the UK Gambling Commission and offers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Set a budget before you play, treat it as the cost of entertainment, and never gamble with money you need for anything else.

Age

You must be at least 18 to use the sites reviewed on UK Gaming Review. All operators verify age and identity before allowing play or paying out.
