3. Age restriction (18+)
The Site contains information about gambling products and services and is intended for use by persons aged 18 or over only. By using the Site you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Underage gambling is a criminal offence in the United Kingdom.
4. What the Site provides
OpenBookies is an independent information directory. We publish opening times, addresses and other details for UK betting shops, online casinos, bingo halls and similar venues, together with editorial content, user reviews and links to third-party gambling operators. We are not a gambling operator, we do not accept bets and we do not hold customer funds.
5. Accuracy of information
We take reasonable care to keep shop locations, opening hours and other information accurate and up to date, including by sourcing data from providers such as Google Places. However, opening times can change at short notice, particularly on bank holidays and during seasonal events. You should always confirm details directly with the operator before travelling. We do not warrant that any information on the Site is complete, current or error-free.
6. Affiliate links and commercial relationships
The Site contains affiliate links to third-party gambling operators and other commercial partners. If you click an affiliate link and subsequently register or transact with that operator, we may receive a commission or other fee. This does not change the price you pay and does not affect our editorial coverage. For more detail see our Affiliate Disclosure.
