Are online casinos safe?

What a licence covers

Casinos that accept players in Great Britain need a UK Gambling Commission licence. That licence requires identity checks, segregated customer funds, fair games from approved testing, and safer-gambling tools.

Safety also means your own settings. Turn on deposit limits before the first deposit. Use GAMSTOP if you need to block yourself from licensed operators. ForaGambling lists commercial offers. It does not operate a casino and cannot pay winnings.
