The iGaming RG Message Generator produces ready-to-use responsible gambling disclaimers for 10 regulated iGaming markets. It covers the full set of regulatory requirements for each jurisdiction: standard and extended disclaimer copy, required logos and seals, the relevant helpline and age restriction, the mandated self-exclusion scheme, and channel-specific guidance for email, display, social media and SMS.

All data is sourced directly from regulator publications and updated to reflect current requirements. This tool is designed for iGaming marketing, compliance and product teams who need accurate, jurisdiction-specific RG messaging without having to consult multiple regulatory websites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which jurisdictions does the generator cover?
The tool covers 10 regulated iGaming markets: United Kingdom (UKGC), Malta (MGA), Ontario Canada (iGaming Ontario / AGCO), Netherlands (KSA), Sweden (Spelinspektionen), Denmark (Spillemyndighed / DGA), Germany (GGL), Ireland (GRAI), Spain (DGOJ) and Gibraltar (GFSB). These are the primary markets for European and Canadian online gambling operators.
Is the disclaimer text legally compliant?
The disclaimer copy is based on the requirements published by each regulator as of March 2026. It is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but regulations change and enforcement interpretations vary. Always have final marketing materials reviewed by a compliance officer or gambling law specialist before publication.
Why do the disclaimers vary by channel?
Regulators apply different rules to different advertising formats. The UK UKGC requires responsible gambling messaging to occupy at least 20% of display ad space, which does not apply to SMS. Germany has banned gambling advertising on social media almost entirely. Selecting the correct channel ensures you see the guidance that applies to your specific format.
Does this tool cover all markets?
The tool covers the 10 most significant European and Canadian regulated markets. If you need guidance for another jurisdiction - for example Australia, New Jersey or Brazil - connect via LinkedIn and additional markets may be added in a future update.
How often is the data updated?
The regulatory data is reviewed and updated periodically to reflect new requirements. The current version reflects requirements as of March 2026. Recent major changes include the UK GamStop requirement (October 2023), the UK 20% display ad space rule (April 2024), and the German GGL licensing regime (July 2022).
How It Works
  1. Select a jurisdiction from the dropdown. Ten markets are available: UK (UKGC), Malta (MGA), Ontario, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Spain and Gibraltar.
  2. Select a channel - General, Email, Display Advertising, Social Media or SMS. The channel selection adjusts the disclaimer copy and surfaces channel-specific guidance for that market.
  3. Review the output. The generator displays the jurisdiction's strictness level, regulator link, copy-paste disclaimer text, extended disclaimer for long-form use, helpline details, required logos and seals, self-exclusion scheme details, channel notes and regulatory background.
  4. Copy the disclaimer text you need using the Copy buttons on each card.
