Why we write these guides
Casino terms can be dense, and the rules changed a lot in 2025 and 2026. These guides explain what the rules say, in plain English, using the Gambling Commission's own announcements and guidance. Each one is checked when the rules change. If you spot something out of date, email hello@ir4.co.uk.
