How we source. Gambling News starts from primary material: operator and supplier announcements, regulator notices from the Gambling Commission and other authorities, and the companies and people involved. Many articles are drafted by AI from public sources, checked by automated rules and published without a person reading them first; they are labelled “Automated report” on the page. Sam Allcock, Editor and Publisher, is answerable for everything we publish. Spotted an error? Write to editor@gamblingnews.co.uk and we will fix it on the page and say what changed.

Not betting or investment advice. Gambling News is journalism about the gambling industry, not betting or investment advice. Nothing here is a substitute for professional guidance. Always check the current figures with the official source before you act, and we link to those sources so you can check our working.
