UK Gambling Commission focus
BetStrides is built around UK players and UK regulation. We aim to highlight only online casino brands that are properly licensed to offer services to players in Great Britain, typically under oversight from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) or another UK-approved framework.
A licence does not guarantee that a casino is right for you, but it does mean the operator has to follow rules on player protection, fair play, complaint handling and advertising standards.
We encourage you to always check the licensing information displayed in the footer of any casino you visit and to confirm details against official sources if you are unsure.
What UK regulation aims to cover
- Keeping gambling services away from children and people under 18.
- Ensuring games are run fairly and outcomes are not manipulated.
- Requiring operators to monitor play and address signs of harm.
- Making sure customer funds are handled in line with regulations.
- Providing clear processes for complaints and dispute resolution.
Remember: even under regulation, casino games are designed with a house edge. You should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
What BetStrides does with this information
- We focus on casino products, not unlicensed or offshore sites.
- We check that the brands we highlight are accessible to UK players.
- We draw attention to safer-gambling tools and support links.
- We do not handle customer accounts or act on behalf of any regulator.
If you have a concern about a specific casino's conduct, you will need to follow that operator’s complaint process and, where relevant, the escalation routes outlined by the UKGC or approved ADR providers.
