Understanding the legal position
Online casino law depends on the operator, the licence, the player’s location and the service being offered. A website being accessible in the UK does not prove that its operator is authorised to transact with consumers in Great Britain. The starting point is the legal company and exact domain recorded by the UK Gambling Commission.
These guides separate four questions that are often mixed together: whether an operator may serve Great Britain, what an overseas licence covers, how GamStop self-exclusion works and which complaint route applies. They provide general information rather than advice about an individual dispute.
