This page sets out the legal basis on which this website operates, the limitations of the information we provide, and your rights and responsibilities as a user. Please read this page carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Nature of This Website
This website provides editorial commentary and informational guidance about greyhound betting in the United Kingdom. All content is produced for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice, betting advice, or a recommendation to place any specific bet or to use any specific product or service. Decisions about whether and how to bet are entirely your own, and we accept no responsibility for any financial loss arising from your use of this content.
We are not a regulated gambling operator. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission operating licence and we do not offer betting, gaming, or any other gambling product. We are an editorial publisher.
Age Restriction
Greyhound betting and all other forms of gambling are restricted to persons aged 18 or over in the United Kingdom. This website is intended exclusively for adults. If you are under 18, you must not use this site or act on any information contained within it. Gambling under the age of 18 is illegal in the UK.
If you are concerned that a person under 18 has access to gambling content, tools to restrict access to gambling-related material are available from internet service providers and parental control software. The UK Gambling Commission provides guidance on this at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.
Gambling Regulation in the United Kingdom
All gambling activity in the United Kingdom is regulated under the Gambling Act 2005 and overseen by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). The UKGC is the statutory body responsible for issuing operating licences to gambling operators, setting standards for fair and safe gambling, and enforcing compliance. Every bookmaker, betting exchange, or other gambling operator legally serving UK customers must hold a current UKGC operating licence.
You can verify whether any operator holds a current UKGC licence using the public register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk/check-if-an-operator-is-licensed. We strongly recommend checking this register before opening any gambling account. A licence number is required to be displayed in the footer of every UKGC-licensed operator’s website.
Operators are also required to meet obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, including customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting. These requirements may result in operators requesting documentation from customers.
Point of Consumption Tax
UK gambling winnings are not taxed in the hands of the bettor. Operators serving UK customers pay a 15% Point of Consumption Tax on gross gambling yield, regardless of where they are incorporated. This tax is built into operator pricing models and is not charged separately to customers. The Government’s guidance on gambling duties is available from HM Revenue and Customs.
Responsible Gambling Obligations
UKGC-licensed operators are required by their licence conditions to provide responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, time limits, loss limits, self-exclusion mechanisms, and access to gambling support information. These tools must be freely accessible to all customers. If an operator is not providing these features, this may be a breach of their licence conditions, which can be reported to the UKGC.
The national self-exclusion scheme, GamStop, allows you to exclude yourself from all UKGC-licensed remote gambling operators simultaneously. Registration is free and available at gamstop.co.uk. Once registered, operators are prohibited from allowing you to gamble with them for the duration of your self-exclusion.
Free confidential support for problem gambling is available from:
- BeGambleAware — information, tools and referral to specialist services
- National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133 (free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week)
