Terms & Conditions
This Website is an independent informational and affiliate media platform. We do not host real-money gambling or any regulated gaming activity. Our purpose is to provide editorial reviews, bonus guides, and gambling information to adults in the United Kingdom. For further clarification, please visit our FAQ page or contact us directly.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing this Website you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions, which form a legally binding agreement under the laws of England and Wales. This Agreement takes effect from your first visit to any page of the Website.
We may update this Agreement at any time. Changes are effective upon publication of the revised version on this page. Continued use of the Website after any update constitutes acceptance of the new terms. This Agreement should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which forms part of the overall terms governing your use of the Website.
2. Age Restrictions & Eligibility
This Website is strictly for users aged 18 and over. In accordance with the Gambling Act 2005 and UK Gambling Commission requirements, gambling-related content is not permitted for minors. By accessing this Website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and that it is lawful for you to access gambling-related content in your jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly collect data from or direct content towards individuals under 18. If you believe a minor has accessed this Website, please notify us promptly. Parents and guardians should use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling content online.
Eligibility also requires that you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract and are not subject to any self-exclusion or voluntary restriction schemes that would prohibit you from engaging with gambling-related content.
3. Informational Nature of This Website
All content on Gala Casino — including casino reviews, slot analyses, payment method guides, and bonus comparisons — is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing on this Website constitutes financial advice, legal counsel, or an invitation to gamble. Our editorial team produces independent assessments based on publicly available information, but we make no guarantee that content is current or complete at all times.
Users should exercise independent judgement before engaging with any gambling operator or product referenced on this Website. Bonus terms and offers described in our reviews are subject to change by the relevant operator at any time. Always refer directly to the operator’s official website for the most up-to-date terms. More about our editorial approach is available on our about us page.
4. Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure
This Website participates in affiliate marketing programmes. When you click certain links and register with or deposit at an online casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. This is standard practice among iGaming media platforms and in no way affects the terms you receive from any operator.
Our affiliate activities comply with UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines and ASA/CAP advertising codes. Revenue from affiliate partnerships funds the operation and development of this Website. This commercial arrangement does not compromise our editorial independence, though users should be aware that operators with whom we hold active partnerships may receive more prominent coverage.
| Disclosure Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Affiliate Links | We may earn a commission when users register or deposit via our links. |
| Editorial Objectivity | Commercial relationships do not determine review scores or conclusions. |
| Bonus Accuracy | Offers described on this Website are subject to the operator’s own terms and may vary. |
| No Operator Liability | We are not responsible for operator conduct after referral. |
| Regulatory Compliance | Affiliate activities are conducted in line with applicable UK advertising regulations. |
5. Intellectual Property Rights
All original content on this Website — including written articles, reviews, graphics, logos, layouts, and any bespoke tools — is the intellectual property of Gala Casino, protected under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Nothing in these Terms grants you any licence to reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any such material without our prior written consent.
You may access and view content for personal, non-commercial use only. You may share links to pages on this Website provided such sharing does not misrepresent or harm our brand. Systematic scraping, automated downloading, or unauthorised reproduction of content is expressly prohibited and may give rise to civil or criminal liability.
Where content references third-party material — such as operator logos or game thumbnails — such material remains the property of the respective rights holder. We make no claim of ownership over third-party intellectual property and use it only to the extent permitted by law or applicable fair dealing principles.
6. Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited and constitute a material breach of this Agreement:
- Accessing the Website via automated means, bots, or scrapers without prior written authorisation.
- Uploading or transmitting defamatory, fraudulent, obscene, or otherwise unlawful material.
- Attempting to reverse-engineer or circumvent any technical protection measures on this Website.

7. Third-Party Websites & Operator Responsibility
This Website contains links to third-party gambling operators, payment processors, and other organisations. These links are provided for informational convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement beyond what is described in our Affiliate Disclosure. We have no editorial control over third-party websites and accept no responsibility for their content, privacy practices, or regulatory compliance.
When you follow a link from this Website to any external platform, you do so at your own risk. The terms, conditions, and licensing status of any external platform are the sole responsibility of that platform. We strongly advise users to verify an operator’s licence with the relevant regulator — such as the UK Gambling Commission’s public register or the MGA licence checker — before registering or depositing.
We are not a party to any dispute or transaction arising between a user and a third-party operator following a referral from this Website. If you encounter a broken link or out-of-date information, please notify us via our contact page.
8. Responsible Gambling
Gala Casino is committed to promoting responsible gambling. Although we do not directly facilitate wagering, we recognise our responsibility as a media platform that influences how individuals engage with gambling products. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not a source of income, and should always be undertaken within personal financial limits.
If you are concerned about your gambling habits or those of someone you know, we encourage you to seek support. GamCare offers free, confidential counselling and support via the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133, available 24/7). BeGambleAware provides self-assessment tools, guides, and access to accredited treatment services throughout the UK.
For research professionals, the International Centre for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) publishes evidence-based resources on gambling disorder and harm reduction. We draw on recognised research in this field to inform how gambling content is presented on this Website. Users may also self-exclude from all UK-licensed operators simultaneously through the GAMSTOP national self-exclusion scheme.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
This Website and all content provided through it are offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be available without interruption or free from errors.
The gambling industry changes rapidly. Operator licensing status, bonus terms, payment methods, and game availability can change without notice to us. We cannot guarantee that any content on this Website accurately reflects real-time conditions at any specific operator. Nothing on this Website constitutes a guarantee of winnings or a prediction of gambling outcomes.
10. Limitation of Liability
Subject to rights afforded under English consumer law, our total aggregate liability to you shall not exceed the sum of one pound sterling (£1.00) or the amount paid by you to us in the twelve months preceding the relevant claim, whichever is greater. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this Website, including any financial loss suffered after engaging with a third-party operator through a referral from us.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless our Website and its contributors from any claims, losses, or costs (including legal fees) arising from your breach of this Agreement, your violation of applicable law, or any content submitted by you through this Website.
11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without prejudice to your rights as a consumer under the law of your home jurisdiction.
If you have a complaint, please contact us in writing first. We will endeavour to respond within 14 calendar days and to resolve genuine disputes within a reasonable timeframe. Where a dispute cannot be resolved amicably, either party may refer the matter to the courts of England and Wales. Nothing in this Agreement affects your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable UK legislation.
