Safe & legal
A small deposit does not make a site safe; only the licence does. This section keeps the legal question first and leaves reputation and trust for later.
Legal and trusted sites, secure apps and the “betting sites not on GAMSTOP” family of phrases are covered. Such wording describes operators that hold no Great Britain licence; a missing safeguard is a gap, not a selling point.
A licensed operator takes part in GAMSTOP and verifies who the customer is (name, address, date of birth) before any bet is placed. Supplying betting to Great Britain customers without a licence is an offence by the operator under section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005. Nothing aimed at the customer has been identified, yet the customer gives up protection.
