The terms that apply when you use this site
These terms explain what Top Bookmaker is, what you can expect from the information we publish and how we are funded. By using the website you accept them, so please take a few minutes to read them. If anything is unclear, our editorial team is happy to explain.
An information service, not a bookmaker
Top Bookmaker publishes guides, reviews and racing information to help readers understand betting and compare UK-licensed bookmakers. We are not a bookmaker. We do not accept bets, hold customer accounts, take payments or settle wagers, and nothing on this website is an offer to bet.
The content is general information, not personal financial advice or tips. Any decision to place a bet, and with which bookmaker, is yours alone. The website is published by Mark Ellison, 21 Old Station Road, Newmarket, Suffolk CB8 8GB, United Kingdom (e-mail: [email protected]). In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Top Bookmaker and its publisher.
Adults only and responsible gambling
This website is intended only for people aged 18 and over. Gambling is illegal for under-18s in Great Britain, and UK-licensed bookmakers verify the age of every customer.
Betting costs money and should only ever be done with money you can afford to lose. Set limits before you start, and use the tools every licensed bookmaker provides. If gambling is causing you concern, free support is available from GambleAware and GamCare, and GamStop lets you self-exclude from all UK-licensed online gambling sites. Our guide to betting safely online explains these options.
Accuracy and bookmakers' own terms
We take care to keep our pages accurate, but bookmakers change their products, payment options and terms regularly, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is up to date at the moment you read it.
| Topic | Our position | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Bookmaker features and payments | Described in general terms, checked when we review a page | Confirm in the bookmaker's cashier and help pages |
| Offers and free bets | Explained in principle; we do not list current offers | Read the full offer terms on the bookmaker's site |
| Betting rules and settlement | Explained using common UK practice | Check the bookmaker's own betting rules |
| Your account and disputes | Outside our control | Contact the bookmaker directly |
Where our content and a bookmaker's terms differ, the bookmaker's terms apply to your account and bets.
Affiliate links and how we are funded
Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you follow one and open an account with a bookmaker, we may earn a commission from that bookmaker. This is how the website is funded. The commission does not change the terms, odds or offers you receive, and you pay nothing extra.
We only cover bookmakers licensed by the Gambling Commission. Commercial arrangements do not decide what we write in our bookmaker reviews or our guides.

Common questions
Can I place a bet on Top Bookmaker?
No. Top Bookmaker is an information website, not a bookmaker. We do not take bets, hold accounts or handle payments. To place a bet you need an account with a bookmaker licensed by the Gambling Commission, and that bookmaker's own terms apply to your bets.
Do affiliate links change the offer I receive?
No. If you open an account through one of our links, we may earn a commission from the bookmaker, but your odds, offers and account terms are exactly the same as if you had gone to the bookmaker's website directly.
