What to check before signing up

  1. Match the UKGC licence number in the footer to the Commission’s public register.
  2. Open the responsible-gambling page and locate deposit limits before you play.
  3. Read wagering and game contribution on any welcome package you consider.
  4. Decide whether you need a live-dealer first session or slots-only — that changes which grade matters most.
