Safe & legal

Before rugby form, odds or value are discussed, one fact has to be settled: whether the operator may lawfully serve Great Britain. This section deals with that first.

Trusted betting sites and the security of apps are discussed, along with wording like “betting sites not on GAMSTOP”. In law these phrases name operators outside the Great Britain licence, so the phrase marks a gap in cover, not a perk.

Licensed betting means GAMSTOP membership, answerability to the Commission, and a check of name, address and date of birth before any first bet. Providing betting to Great Britain without a licence is an offence for the operator. No offence aimed at a customer is known; what disappears is the customer’s protection.
