New online casinos in the UK
31 Of the 727 casinos on our list do not block United Kingdom
Great Britain licenses online casinos. Any casino serving British players needs a UK Gambling Commission licence and must join GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion scheme. Northern Ireland has its own gambling law.
Only a small number of casinos on our list accept UK players, and most name a UKGC licence. Check the licence column: a casino without one is not licensed in Great Britain.

Legal risk · United Kingdom
Great Britain licenses online casinos locally
Online casinos need a UK Gambling Commission licence to serve players in Great Britain. Play only at a casino that names one; a casino without it is offshore, outside GAMSTOP and outside UK player protection. Check your own risk before you play.

Short answer
Can players in the UK use new online casinos?
Yes, at casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Since 2025 they must cap online slot stakes at £5 a spin, or £2 for players aged 18 to 24, and check GAMSTOP. Casinos that accept UK players without a UKGC licence act illegally and do not apply those protections.

Questions
United Kingdom: questions
Are online casinos legal in the UK?
Yes, with a UK Gambling Commission licence (Gambling Act 2005).
What are the UK online slot stake limits?
£5 per spin from 9 April 2025, and £2 per spin for players aged 18 to 24 from 21 May 2025 (Gambling Commission).
What is GAMSTOP?
The national online self-exclusion scheme. Every UKGC-licensed online operator must check it, so one registration covers all of them.
What should I check before joining a new casino that accepts players from the UK?
Read the casino's terms on the UK first, because a casino can change the countries it accepts. Then check the licence it names, its withdrawal limits and the wagering on the welcome offer. In the UK, also confirm the UKGC licence number in the casino's footer. Make a small first deposit and request a small withdrawal before you claim a bonus. Our review method lists the checks we run on every new brand.
Where can I get help with gambling in the UK?
Gambling Therapy offers free, confidential support online in several languages. In Great Britain, GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133), free and open around the clock. Self-exclusion in a casino account only works at that casino. Our responsible gaming page explains the deposit and time limits you can set.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
How we review new casinosSet limits before the welcome offer
Bonus wagering keeps you playing longer. Set a deposit limit and a time limit in the account before you claim.
