Our commitment
Sky Vegas has been a UK-licensed operator for more than 20 years and holds itself to the standards of one of the strictest regulators in the world. Player-protection tools are built into every Sky Vegas account from registration onward — they are not an afterthought and they are not buried behind menus. This page explains what is available, how to use it and where to turn for independent, confidential help.

Warning signs to watch for
Problem gambling rarely arrives all at once. It shows up gradually as small pattern changes that are easier to spot in someone else than in yourself. Take stock if any of the following apply:
- Spending longer on Sky Vegas — or any other casino — than you originally intended
- Depositing more money than you can genuinely afford to lose
- Chasing losses by increasing stake sizes
- Borrowing money, using credit or selling possessions to fund play
- Feeling anxious, low or irritable when you are not playing
- Hiding the true amount of your gambling from partners, family or friends
- Neglecting work, study, sleep or family commitments because of play sessions
If two or more of these feel familiar, activate a Sky Vegas deposit limit or self-exclusion today and reach out to one of the free helplines below. There is no waiting list and no charge.
Protection of minors
Sky Vegas accounts are restricted to players aged 18 or over. Under the UK Gambling Commission Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice, Sky Vegas must verify age before any deposit or play — not just before withdrawal — and refunds any deposit made by a person subsequently found to be under 18. If a minor has access to a device that autosaves Sky Vegas credentials, we strongly recommend parental control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or Google Family Link.
