Safe & legal

Winning a basketball bet means little if the operator is unlicensed and the payout cannot be pursued. This section therefore treats the licence as the starting point.

Legal and trusted betting sites, secure apps and the whole “not on GAMSTOP” family of phrases are addressed. The phrases describe operators outside the Great Britain licence and are not a benefit.

Name, address and date of birth are verified by licensed operators ahead of the first bet, and those operators belong to GAMSTOP. For an operator, providing gambling facilities to Great Britain without a licence is an offence; no offence aimed at a customer has been identified, though protection falls away.
