From the Gambling Commission's premises register and OpenStreetMap, last confirmed November 2026. Counts are of licensed or mapped premises, so the true number is a little higher.
If you gamble in person
The UK has a register for the door, not just the website: SENSE (casinos). Sign up and staff must turn you away. Cash is the other door: a bank gambling block refuses the card, and a daily cash limit at the bank slows the rest.
Get You vs The HouseWalk past the casino: the app steps in when you linger near a casino or betting shop, and tells your person only if you want. Your location never leaves your phone.
