Legal
18+ Only
Effective date: 28 May 2026
House Edge Reviews publishes content about online gambling. By law and by editorial choice, our content is intended for adults only.
The minimum age requirement
Online gambling is legally restricted to adults. The minimum age varies by jurisdiction:
- United Kingdom: 18 years old (under the Gambling Act 2005)
- European Union: 18 in most member states; some jurisdictions are 21
- United States: 18 or 21 depending on the state; varies by game and venue
- Canada: 18 or 19 depending on province
- Australia: 18 years old
It is your responsibility to know the minimum legal gambling age in your jurisdiction and to confirm you meet it before signing up to any casino, including our partner operator.
If you are under the minimum age
If you have arrived on this page because you are below the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, please leave this site and do not attempt to sign up to any of the operators we cover. Underage gambling is unlawful, can result in account closure with forfeiture of funds, and is associated with significantly higher rates of problem-gambling outcomes later in life.
If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a young person accessing gambling content:
- Family-filter software can block gambling-related domains. Both Apple (Screen Time) and Google (Family Link) offer built-in tools. Third-party software like Gamban and GamBlock provides more thorough blocking specifically for gambling sites.
- BeGambleAware publishes age-specific resources for parents and professionals working with young people: begambleaware.org/young-people.
What we do to make this site less appealing to minors
Editorial choices we make:
- We do not use cartoon imagery, gamified design language, or marketing techniques known to appeal to children and teenagers.
- We do not run aggressive pop-ups, autoplay video, or attention-grabbing animations.
- Our content is editorial in tone, suited to readers approaching the subject thoughtfully.
- We display age-restriction warnings near every commercial call-to-action.
