At Confettibooth, we believe that eSports betting should always be an enjoyable and entertaining activity. Our founder, Esme Phillips, built confettibooth.co.uk with a clear principle at its core: player welfare comes before everything else. This page exists because we genuinely care about every person who reads our reviews, follows our recommendations, and places a bet on their favourite eSports events.
Gambling carries real risks. While most people who bet on eSports do so safely and responsibly, a small number of individuals may develop harmful patterns. Recognising those patterns early — and knowing where to turn for help — can make an enormous difference. We encourage every visitor to read this page carefully, regardless of whether you feel your gambling is currently a problem.
Confettibooth operates exclusively within the United Kingdom and upholds a strict 18+ only policy. Every licensed operator we review is required to hold a valid licence from the UK Gambling Commission and must implement robust age verification measures before allowing any user to deposit funds or place bets. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately. If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly recommend installing parental control software such as Gamban or using tools provided by your internet service provider to restrict access to gambling-related websites.
Problem gambling does not always look the same in every person. It can develop gradually and often goes unnoticed until significant harm has already occurred. Below are some common warning signs to be aware of in yourself or someone you know.
Take a moment to answer these questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more of them, we encourage you to seek support from one of the organisations listed further down this page.
Every UK-licensed betting site is required to offer deposit limits. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the amount of money you load into your account. Setting a limit before you begin betting is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling within your means. Limits take effect immediately and can only be reduced straight away — increases are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period.
Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been logged in and how much you have spent during a session. We recommend enabling these alerts so that time spent betting never runs away from you unnoticed.
If you feel you need a short break, most operators allow you to set a cooling-off period of 24 hours, a week, or a month. During this time your account is temporarily restricted, giving you space to reflect without making a permanent decision.
If you feel that a break is not enough, self-exclusion is a powerful option. GAMSTOP is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, available free of charge at gamstop.co.uk. Registering with GAMSTOP will block you from all UK-licensed gambling websites and apps for a minimum of six months. We strongly support the use of GAMSTOP and encourage anyone struggling to sign up without delay.
You are never alone. The following organisations provide free, confidential, and non-judgmental support to anyone affected by gambling harm in the UK and beyond.
Esme Phillips and the entire Confettibooth team want every reader to enjoy eSports betting as the fun, exciting pastime it should be. If at any point it stops feeling fun, please reach out for help. There is no shame in doing so — it is one of the bravest and smartest decisions you can make. If you have questions about any of the tools or organisations listed on this page, you are always welcome to contact us directly through confettibooth.co.uk.
