About us – Footy Tips

Every day brings a fresh round of football tips, and Footy Tips reads them the way a sceptical punter would: what a price implies about probability, how wide the margin in a market is and what a promotion really demands. No bets are taken here, no tips are sold and no returns are promised, since a bet certain to win does not exist.

Sources and their limits

Facts about bookmakers come from their own terms, help pages and footers. Legal points rest on the statutes, on Gambling Commission publications and on other public bodies. Prices and offers move quickly, so a figure is given with the time and place it applied. Where sources stop, the matter is put into words and no number is invented.

Checking a licence

Serving customers in Great Britain needs a Gambling Commission licence, and the Commission’s public register decides: a brand holds a Great Britain operating licence or it does not. Licensed operators use .com addresses, so the address says nothing. A Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar licence is no replacement. An operator without a Great Britain licence is described as such, without a moral verdict but with the plain result: no GAMSTOP, no Commission complaints route and weaker protection for the customer. Northern Ireland has its own law and lies outside the Gambling Act 2005. A tipster’s table position is not a licence either.

Readers and limits

The site addresses adults in Great Britain, as betting starts at 18, and it is no substitute for legal or tax advice. Anyone who feels betting is taking more room than planned can turn to GamCare, GambleAware or GAMSTOP.
