New online casinos in the UK
11 Of the 256 casinos on our list do not block United Kingdom
Great Britain licenses online casinos under the Gambling Act 2005, through the UK Gambling Commission. A casino that serves British players without that licence is breaking the law.
The casinos below accept UK players by their own terms but most are licensed offshore. Before you use one, compare it with a UK-licensed site, which has to follow rules that offshore sites ignore.

Legal risk · United Kingdom
United Kingdom licenses online casinos locally
Offshore casinos that take UK players are outside the Gambling Commission's rules, including GAMSTOP and the stake limits. Players are not prosecuted, but you lose the UK's complaint routes.

Short answer
Should you use a new offshore casino in the UK?
A UK-licensed casino is the safer choice: it must verify your age, offer limits, join GAMSTOP and follow the UK's stake and bonus rules. An offshore site that advertises itself as not on GAMSTOP is outside all of that, which is exactly what makes it risky for anyone who has self-excluded.

In depth
The UK rules in brief
Great Britain licenses online casinos under the Gambling Act 2005, through the UK Gambling Commission. Credit cards have been banned at licensed casinos since 14 April 2020, and GAMSTOP lets players self-exclude from every licensed site at once.
Casino law follows where you are, not your passport. A Canadian who plays while living in or visiting the UK is under the UK's rules, and a casino's terms usually ban play from a country it does not accept, whatever your account address.
Canadians in the UK
If you move to the UK, your Canadian account at an offshore casino may be closed once the casino sees a UK location, since many offshore brands exclude Britain. A UK-licensed casino will ask for a UK address and ID before you can play.
For how the rules compare with Canada, see our guide to new casinos in Canada.
Questions
New casinos in the UK: questions
Are online casinos legal in the UK?
Yes, when the casino holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. Check its name or domain on the Commission's public register.
What is GAMSTOP?
The UK's national self-exclusion scheme. One registration blocks you from every UK-licensed casino and betting site for the period you choose.
Can I use a credit card?
Not at a UK-licensed casino. The ban has applied since April 2020.
Are casino winnings taxed in the UK?
No. Casino winnings are tax-free for players in the UK.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 19+ 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 19 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.
