This worksheet records your own review. It is not a compliance assessment, and rules change; check the sources below before relying on a row.
How to run the review
- Choose the market you are reviewing with the filter. Rows marked as our recommendation apply to every market.
- Open the product in a test account on a phone and on a desktop.
- For each row, go to the place named and look for what the row describes. Record Present, Partly, Missing or Not applicable.
- Note where a control exists but is hard to recognize, for example a limit tool labeled only "Settings". Mark it Partly.
- Download the CSV and attach screenshots in your own records.
Reading the rule column
Each row names its basis: Gambling Commission rules for Great Britain from October 31, 2025 and the end of September 2026, the AGCO's Registrar's Standards for Ontario, N.J.A.C. 13:69O-1.2 for New Jersey and the National Consumer Protection Framework for Australia. Rules change, and this worksheet summarizes them in a few words. Read the source before treating any row as a requirement, and see the safer play tools paper for the wording of each rule.
The worksheet is not a compliance assessment. It does not cover every rule in each market, and a product that is fully "Present" here can still fall short elsewhere.
