Q: Are UK players allowed to use offshore sites?
A: Yes, players aren’t prosecuted, but offshore operators aren’t bound by UKGC rules — that means fewer protections and limited dispute options; see GamCare if you need help.
Q: What documents will I need for withdrawals?
A: Passport or driving licence plus a recent utility bill or bank statement; proof of card ownership if you used a debit card.
Q: Are gambling winnings taxed in the UK?
A: No — gambling winnings are generally tax-free for UK residents, but keep records for your own finances.
Q: Who do I call if I need gambling support?
A: GamCare / National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133 and begambleaware.org.
