What can never be sold on Gyftup
These goods and services can't be listed, sold, gifted or promoted anywhere on Gyftup. That covers shops, menus, the POS and kiosk, deals, and the Gyftup Marketplace. They're banned by UK law or by the card payment providers we use.
What happens if someone tries
- The item, deal or listing isn't saved, and the business is told why straight away.
- Gyftup's administrators are told, and they review it.
- While a review is open, the business doesn't appear in the Marketplace.
- Repeated or deliberate attempts can mean a listing taken down, payouts held, or the account closed, as set out in our Acceptable Use Policy.

Businesses with extra rules
Some kinds of business are allowed only where the law and our payment providers allow them, and only for what the law permits. Alcohol, for example, needs a licence and can't be sold to anyone under 18. Nightclubs and bars can't offer adult entertainment services. When you choose a business type with extra rules, Gyftup shows a short reminder. The full conditions are in the Acceptable Use Policy.
Think something is wrong?
If one of your items was blocked by mistake, tell us. An administrator will look at it. If you see something on Gyftup that shouldn't be there, report it the same way.
