Are UK licensed sites required to offer responsible play tools?
I was chatting with a friend the other day about how strict the rules are in the UK compared to other places. It made me wonder whether platforms that operate under a UK licence actually have to provide tools for managing usage, or if it’s more of a “nice to have” thing. I’ve noticed things like limits or reminders popping up more often lately, but I’m not sure if that’s mandatory or just a trend. Does anyone know how this usually works for UK users?

From what I’ve seen over the years, for UK-focused platforms it’s pretty much part of the standard package now. If something is licensed for the UK market, there’s an expectation that users can access basic control features like limits, time-outs, or self-check options. It’s less about promoting anything and more about meeting regulatory guidelines. I recently went through a breakdown that explained this clearly for a UK audience — the Spinfin Casino Review touches on how these tools are integrated and why they’re considered normal practice in the UK. In general, it’s become a baseline requirement rather than an extra feature.
