Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertaining. If it stops being that, help is available.
Age requirement
All casino sites listed on LondonBestBet are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for players aged 18 and over. Operators are required to verify your age before allowing real-money play. We strongly support age verification and do not direct marketing to minors.
Set your own limits
All UKGC-licensed operators must provide deposit, loss, and session time limits in your account settings. Setting these before you start playing is one of the most effective ways to stay in control.
- Deposit limits — cap how much you can add per day, week, or month
- Loss limits — set a maximum loss threshold for a period
- Session reminders — receive alerts after a set amount of time
- Reality checks — periodic reminders of how long you've been playing
Self-exclusion
If you want to stop gambling across multiple UK-licensed sites at once, GAMSTOP offers a free national self-exclusion scheme. A single registration blocks you from all UKGC-licensed operators for a minimum of six months.
