The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has published a PSA warning against the use of unregulated providers to mark today’s Safer Internet Day.

“Does a website look like any other legal licensed site, but lets you deposit funds with a credit card or crypto? Does it promote the fact they’re not onGAMSTOP? Offers unusually large account opening bonuses?

“Some things really are too good to be true and the same can be said for betting sites,” the LinkedIn announcement said.

According to the UKGC, some of the signs that customers should be on the lookout for when choosing an online gambling provider include a very high prize amount with no stake limits, no RTP information, intrusive marketing and no age verification.

The UKGC also reminds that questionable websites will not have any messaging indicating whether or not they are licensed by the Commission, however, players can visit the UKGC public register to check if they are unsure.
