Responsible Gambling

Age restriction

Sports betting in the UK is restricted to adults aged 18 and over. Every UK-licensed operator is required by the UK Gambling Commission to verify the age of customers before allowing account activity. It is illegal for under-18s to place bets.

This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over only. If you are under 18, please leave this site and do not use any betting services.

Betting and risk

Sports betting involves an element of chance regardless of how informed your selections are. Bookmakers set margins that favour the operator over time. Most bettors will lose money over an extended period. Betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a financial strategy or source of income.

If you are betting with money you need for bills, housing, or food, or if betting is affecting your relationships, work, or mental health, these are signs that help may be needed. Support is available and free.

Tools available on licensed operator sites

All UK Gambling Commission-licensed operators are required to provide player protection tools. These typically include:

• Deposit limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly maximums on how much you deposit
• Time limits — restrict how long you spend on the platform in a session
• Reality checks — on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing
• Cooling-off periods — temporary pause on gambling activity
• Self-exclusion — close your account for a defined period
• Permanent self-exclusion — close your account with no ability to reopen

You can usually find these tools in the account settings or responsible gambling section of any licensed operator's site. Contact the operator's support team if you cannot locate them.
