Terms of Service

Last updated: 9 April 2026

Agreement to these terms

By accessing or using step1minimalist.com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Site. We may update these Terms periodically; the “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires a different consent mechanism.

Who we are

step1minimalist.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) publishes general information, comparisons, and editorial summaries relating to UK-facing licensed gambling operators and related products. We are an information publisher only. We do not operate casino, betting, or lottery games; we do not accept wagers; we do not hold, transmit, or safeguard player funds; and we are not a payment intermediary. Any gambling activity you undertake occurs solely on third-party platforms under agreements between you and those operators.

Eligibility and jurisdiction

The Site is intended for adults aged 18 or over who are located in or accessing the service from the United Kingdom, unless we expressly state otherwise. You represent that you meet the minimum legal age for gambling and for using this type of content in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to the Site and to any linked services is lawful where you are. If online gambling or the viewing of promotional gambling content is restricted or prohibited for you, you must not use the Site or follow outbound links to operators.

No professional advice

Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. Bonus terms, wagering requirements, game rules, and withdrawal policies are determined by operators and can change without notice. You should verify all material facts—including licence status, offer eligibility, fees, and time limits—directly with the operator and, where appropriate, with a qualified professional before making decisions that could affect your finances or legal position.

Information, accuracy, and third-party content

We aim to present accurate, clearly labelled information, but we do not warrant that any page is complete, current, or error-free. Offers, odds, promotions, and product availability are supplied by third parties or compiled from publicly available sources and may expire or change at any time. The Site may contain links to external websites, tools, or applications that are not under our control. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, security, or availability of third-party resources. When you leave the Site, the terms, policies, and licences of the destination site apply exclusively to your relationship with that operator.

Affiliate relationships and commercial disclosure

We may receive compensation—including referral fees, commissions, or other commercial benefits—when you interact with certain tracked links, complete registrations, or perform qualifying actions with partner operators. Compensation arrangements can affect the order, placement, or prominence of offers on the Site, but they do not change the underlying obligation for us to avoid misleading claims where UK advertising rules apply. Compensation does not increase the price you pay to an operator for a given product, though operators set their own pricing and promotional rules. Nothing on the Site should be read as a promise of winnings or favourable outcomes; gambling carries inherent risk of loss.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site. Without limitation, you must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or networks, interfere with the proper working of the Site, scrape or harvest data in breach of these Terms or applicable law, introduce malware, probe for vulnerabilities without authorisation, or use automated means in a way that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. You must not use the Site to transmit unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing material. We may investigate suspected abuse and cooperate with law enforcement or regulators where required.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the Site’s design, text, graphics, layout, and selection of materials are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and temporarily cache pages for personal, non-commercial use. You must not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the Site or its branding without our prior written consent, except as permitted by mandatory law.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors, viruses, or harmful components. You use the Site at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or reliance on its content, including any interaction with third-party gambling operators. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Site shall not exceed fifty pounds sterling (GBP £50), except where such a cap is prohibited by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless step1minimalist.com and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the Site, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of applicable law or third-party rights.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or discontinue the Site, or restrict your access, at any time and without prior notice, particularly where we believe there is a security risk, legal obligation, or breach of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law—shall remain in effect.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to mandatory consumer protections that may apply in your country of residence. The courts of England and Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Site, without prejudice to rights you may have to bring proceedings in another jurisdiction where required by law.

Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms to reflect changes in law, regulatory guidance, or our services. Material changes will be signposted by updating the “Last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance unless you stop using the Site.
