Responsible gambling
Help, self-exclusion, and our listing rules
dashdeals.uk only lists offers from operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). We do not list, link to, or advertise “not on GamStop” sites or any operator not licensed for the Great Britain market, because those operators fall outside the UK’s self-exclusion and advertising protections.
Gambling can be harmful. If you choose to gamble, the single most effective protection is to register with GamStop — it blocks you from every UKGC-licensed online operator at once, with no need to contact each one separately.
Tools every UKGC-licensed operator must offer
Every operator we list is required by its UKGC licence to offer, free of charge: deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, reality checks, time-outs (taking a short break), and permanent self-exclusion. You can set these inside your account on the operator’s site at any time. These controls apply on top of GamStop, not instead of it.
If gambling is causing harm
- GamStop
The UK national online self-exclusion scheme. A single free registration blocks you from all UKGC-licensed online gambling operators for a period you choose (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years).
- GamCare
Free information, support, and counselling for anyone affected by gambling harm. Freephone 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day.
- BeGambleAware
Free, confidential help and self-assessment tools to understand whether gambling is causing harm and what to do about it.
- GAMANON
Support for the family and friends of people who gamble, whether or not the person who gambles wants to change.
How we describe offers
Bonus terms are where gambling marketing most often misleads. Every offer we list carries a bonus-claritytier — whether we have parsed the operator’s full terms (“terms verified”), summarised them from the operator’s public page (“terms summarised”), or are showing only the operator’s headline as written (“operator-claimed”). We never dress an operator claim up as our own verification. Always read the operator’s full terms before you claim.
This page is information only and is not a substitute for professional advice. dashdeals.uk is an affiliate: we may be paid a commission by operators when a referral results in a qualifying action, at no cost to you. That relationship never changes which operators we list (UKGC-licensed only) or how honestly we describe their terms. See our affiliate disclosure.
