Reputation
Just Bookies has a good reputation across the industry and has been awarded the GPWA Seal Of Approval, which is only achieved by betting portals of good standing and that operate within strict and defined ethical standards.
Just Bookies engages in online and offline marketing. As part of our advertising and self promotion, we have sponsored many horse races and have had banners at racetracks and football stadiums.
Independence
Just Bookies does have an affiliation with the betting and gaming companies it promotes. Despite that fact, Just Bookies remains fiercely independent, as demonstrated by our list of ‘blacklisted’ UK betting companies that have failed to impress in our review process. We will not promote a company positively just because they want us to. Few other betting portals stick to such high standards. It means that you can trust the integrity of our reviews.
What We Do
Just Bookies is your guide to all things sports betting. We market and advertise online bookmakers and betting companies and provide reviews of those companies.
As an aggregator or portal, Just Bookies encourages a comparison of the various merits of the trusted betting companies that are reviewed. Just Bookies is a price comparison site for the betting industry. We provide reviews, sports previews, betting odds comparison and compare the various free bets and welcome bonuses that the UK bookies and gaming companies offer, always detailing their specific terms and conditions.
Just Bookies also has an ever-expanding comprehensive section that explains how to bet, the various bet types and the betting rules.
Legality and Gambling Commission Licensing
The betting firms that Just Bookies reviews, including those we blacklist, are licensed in the UK by the Gambling Commission. They are legally allowed to advertise in the UK in accordance with that regulatory authority’s rules and the governing legislation, The Gambling Act 2005.
Just Bookies itself is not a betting company and, as an affiliate, is not required to be licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
Responsible Gambling
Don’t let gambling become a problem. It should be recreational and just for fun and entertainment. If you struggle to stop betting or chase your losses (ie: bet bigger to recoup lost stakes) then there is an issue. We have links to organisations that can help in the footer (below) of every page of this website.
