About & methodology

How the Trusted Play Guide Editorial Desk works

What this guide is for, how we check operators, and what we do when we get something wrong.

Last updated

Purpose of the guide

Trusted Play Guide is an independent information resource on regulated online gambling in Great Britain. We gather in one place the details that adults can check for themselves: who holds a licence, what activities it covers, which website addresses it lists, and where to find help.

We are not a gambling operator, a bookmaker or a payment service. We do not accept bets, deposits or payments, register players or handle financial transactions. We are not a regulator or a public body, and we are not affiliated with the Gambling Commission.

Editorial independence

Our editorial desk decides which operators appear, how they are described and what status they are given. Commercial partners cannot buy inclusion, a position in a list or a change to an assessment. Operators are listed alphabetically, and the order is not a ranking.

We do not publish user reviews, customer numbers, survey results or numerical scores.

Verification methodology

We only publish information verified on the official source — the Gambling Commission public register for licences and the operator’s official website for terms, safer gambling tools and support — with its source and the date it was checked.

Assessment criteria

Each operator entry covers four criteria.

Gambling in Great Britain is regulated by the Gambling Commission. For official information, licence checks and complaints guidance, go directly to gamblingcommission.gov.uk (opens in a new tab). Northern Ireland has its own separate gambling legislation.
