Safe & legal

Fast live betting leaves little time for second thoughts, which makes it more important that the operator is licensed before the first bet, not during it.

Dealt with here are sites that are legal, apps that are secure, and the “not on GAMSTOP” phrases, which refer to operators beyond the Great Britain licence and offer no benefit.

An operator who provides betting to customers in Great Britain unlicensed commits an offence. The customer has no identified offence to fear, only the loss of those protections.
