How much of casino "common knowledge" do you actually know?

◆◆◆
1. A slot advertises an RTP of 96%. What does that actually mean?
RTP is a long-run statistical average measured over an enormous number of spins. Any individual session can finish far above or far below it — which is why RTP describes the game, never your evening.
2. You register with GAMSTOP. What does it block?
GAMSTOP is a free national self-exclusion scheme. One registration covers all GB-licensed online operators — participation is a licence condition — for six months, one year or five years, and it cannot be lifted early.
3. A roulette wheel has landed on red five times in a row. On the next spin, red is…
Each spin is independent; the wheel has no memory. Believing past results shift future odds is the gambler's fallacy, and it has emptied more pockets than any single game ever has.
4. A welcome bonus comes with a "35x wagering requirement". That means…
Wagering requirements are the real price tag on a bonus. A £100 bonus at 35x means £3,500 in staked play before conversion to withdrawable funds — usually with game weightings and a time limit attached. Our comparison table records each operator's offer type for exactly this reason.
5. Who licenses and regulates online casinos serving Great Britain?
The Gambling Commission licenses every operator legally serving GB customers and publishes a searchable public register. Checking a casino's entry there takes under a minute and is the single best pre-signup habit.
6. What is the minimum legal age for online casino play in the UK?
Eighteen, verified with documents — licensed operators must confirm age before allowing play, not after. It is also why the 18+ notice follows you around this site.
