TheGambleDoctor is published by Ironquay Press Limited. This disclaimer applies to the UK section of thegambledoctor.com, meaning every page whose address starts with /uk/. It sits alongside our Terms and Conditions, our Affiliate Disclosure and our Privacy Policy.
By reading, browsing or otherwise using this section, you accept the points set out below. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site. Nothing here is meant to be hidden in small print, so we have kept it as plain as we can.
1. Who we are and what we are not
TheGambleDoctor is an independent publisher. We write reviews and guides about online casinos, casino bonuses, games, payment methods and betting sites that accept players from the United Kingdom.
We are not a gambling operator. We do not hold a gambling licence from the Gambling Commission or from any other regulator, because we do not need one: we do not offer games, we do not accept bets or deposits, and we never hold player money. You cannot open a casino account with us or play any game on this website. When you decide to play, you do so with the operator, under the operator's own licence and terms.
2. Information, not advice
Everything published in the UK section is general information. It is written for a broad audience of adult readers and does not take your finances, your health or your personal situation into account.
Our content is not financial, legal, tax or any other kind of professional advice. A high rating does not mean a casino is right for you, and a bonus we describe as good value can still cost you money. If you need advice about money, debt or the law, speak to a qualified professional.
3. Accuracy and how quickly things change
We check our pages and update them, but online casinos change their offers often and without telling us. Welcome bonuses, free spins, wagering requirements, game libraries, payment options, withdrawal limits and processing times can all move between the day we publish and the day you read.
We therefore cannot promise that every page is complete, correct and current at every moment. Before you register or deposit, always read the latest terms on the operator's own website. If what you find there differs from what we wrote, the operator's terms are the ones that count.
4. Figures we take from others
Some pages show numbers that we did not create ourselves. These include return-to-player (RTP) percentages for slots and table games, wagering requirements, minimum deposits, maximum bet rules, bonus caps and free-bet conditions.
These figures come from casino operators, game providers and their published terms. RTP is a long-run theoretical average across a very large number of rounds; it says nothing about what will happen in a single session, and some games come in several versions with different RTP settings. We report the figures in good faith but cannot verify every one of them, and we accept no responsibility for errors in data supplied by third parties.
5. Affiliate links
Many of the casinos and betting sites we write about are our commercial partners. When you follow a link or a "Play here" button from our site and then sign up or deposit with an operator, we may receive a commission. This is how the site is paid for. It does not change the price you pay or the terms you are offered.
The full explanation of how these arrangements work, and where the links appear, is on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
6. Operator websites and other third parties
Links on this site lead to websites that we do not own or control, including casino operators, betting sites, game studios, payment providers and support organisations. We are not responsible for their content, their security, their handling of your personal data, or how they run their games and accounts.
Any agreement you make with an operator is between you and that operator. Disputes about bonuses, winnings, verification checks or withdrawals must be raised with the operator first and, where needed, with the alternative dispute resolution service the operator names. We cannot settle them for you.
Operators that legally serve players in Great Britain must hold a licence from the Gambling Commission. You can check any operator's status on the Commission's public register before you sign up.
7. You must be 18 or over
Gambling is for adults only. You must be 18 years or older to use the casinos and betting sites presented on thegambledoctor.com. Licensed operators will check your age and identity, and they may close an account and withhold winnings where a player is under age. If you are under 18, please leave this site.
8. Safer gambling and where to get help
Gambling can be addictive. Treat it as paid entertainment, set a budget before you deposit and never chase losses. If gambling is affecting your money, your work, your sleep or the people around you, free and confidential help is available across the UK:
- National Gambling Helpline - 0808 8020 133, open 24/7.
- GAMSTOP - free self-exclusion from all UK-licensed gambling sites.
- GamCare - live chat and counselling.
More tools and tips are collected on our Responsible Gambling page.

Casino names, logos and game titles shown on the site are the property of their owners. We use them only to identify the brands we review, and their appearance does not mean the owner endorses us.
10. Limits on our liability
You use this website and act on its content at your own risk. To the fullest extent the law allows, Ironquay Press Limited is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, from reliance on its content, from gambling losses, or from the acts or omissions of any operator or other third party we link to.
We also cannot guarantee that the site will always be available, free of errors or free of viruses. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
11. Governing law

12. Updates to this disclaimer
We may revise this disclaimer when our site, our business or the law changes. The version on this page is the one that applies. Using the site after a change means you accept the revised text.
