What Makes A "Reputable Casino?"

In mid 2009, the UK Government Gambling Commission issued a paper entitled "What To Look Out For When Gambling Online". The paper coincided with the commission issuing new regulations for "Remote Gambling Operatives" (that's online casinos and poker rooms to you and me) who wish to operate from the UK. The reason the new UK regulations are so important is that many of the biggest players in the online gambling industry are listed on the London Stock Exchange (though not all of them are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission).

The guidelines issued are far from perfect, but they do cover the basics. The questions that the guidelines suggest you ask include :

Who am I gambling with? - "Check if the gambling operator is licensed by a regulator".

Golden Rule Of Gambling notes : this is good advice, but not all regulators are equal. We'll take you through who regulates which sites, and which of the regulators have real teeth

What am I signing up to? - "Are the company's terms and conditions easily available and clearly explained?"

"Easily available and clearly explained" are pretty subjective terms - nearly all gambling sites have a button marked "terms and conditions", but how many of us have the time and inclination to wade through pages of small print? We do some of the hard work for you, by explaining what is meant by a "sticky bonus", how to protect yourself against "malware", "spyware" and more...

Are there measures in place to help you gamble responsibly? - "Check if the website allows you to set limits on the amount you can gamble... and provides links to responsible gambling information".

We simply won't list an online casino that doesn't do the above.

How do I know the game is fair? - "Check...the software and game meet the minimum technical requirements set by the regulator... and include independent testing".

Excellent advice - and again we save you some of the time and effort by listing the casinos and websites that play a fair game - and can prove it.

You can read the full paper at the UK Gambling Commission website. Suffice to say, all of the casinos and bookmakers / sportsbooks featured on this website comply with the guidelines. If you choose to play at another casino, do take the time to do some research before handing over your credit card. There are some great - and highly reputable - gambling sites out there, so there's really no need to take a chance on the casino.
