Safe & legal
Good odds count for nothing if the operator can not be held to account, and this section deals with accountability first. The question is whether a firm holds a Great Britain licence.
Legal sites, trusted names and secure apps are looked at, as is the wording “betting sites not on GAMSTOP”, which refers to operators outside the Great Britain licence and offers no advantage.
Before a punter’s first bet, a licensed bookmaker has verified identity through name, address and birth date, and it belongs to GAMSTOP. Section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 makes unlicensed gambling facilities for Great Britain an operator offence. No customer-side offence has been found, yet the customer loses protection.
