The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)
The UKGC regulates gambling in Great Britain. Licensed operators must meet standards covering safer gambling tools, marketing practices, KYC/AML checks, and the fair presentation of terms. Choosing UKGC-licensed brands helps ensure player protections are in place.
Why licensing matters
- Player safety: Required tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
- Clarity: Rules that affect play—eligibility, wagering, game weighting—should be accessible.
- Dispute pathways: Complaints processes and ADR routes are documented by licensees.
- Compliance oversight: Ongoing monitoring, with sanctions where standards aren’t met.
Always read the operator’s full terms on their website before opting in to any promotion.
