Official Airsoft accredits UK airsoft retailers, competition platforms, and events against a published set of criteria, and maintains the definitive directory of businesses that meet them. Every listing below has been checked against our standards - genuine operations, established track records, and compliance with UK legal requirements.
See Our Accreditation Criteria ↓What a business needs to show to be accredited by Official Airsoft, and what the badge actually means.
Official Airsoft accredits UK airsoft retailers, competition and raffle platforms, and events or clubs that meet the published criteria below. Accreditation is reviewed annually and can be withdrawn at any time if a business stops meeting our standards. It's a mark we're building the same way any trusted industry standard is built - by being consistent, transparent about our criteria, and willing to say no.
Accredited businesses can display the Official Airsoft badge on their site, linking back to their entry on our accreditation register so anyone can verify it independently rather than take the badge at face value. Badges are tied to active accreditation - if it's withdrawn, the badge comes down.
Applications are reviewed against the criteria above. Have the following ready before you apply:

With more independent prize setups and gear sites populating the UK airsoft market, it is vital to know who you are buying from. While running an independent shop or raffle is perfectly legitimate, there are clear standards that separate trusted companies from high-risk setups. Here is what we look for before adding anyone to this directory:
If you spot a shop or platform acting suspiciously, violating trading regulations, or running unfair draws, you can report them directly to Trading Standards, log a report with Action Fraud, or contact the regulatory team at the Gambling Commission.
This directory is completely independent. We do not accept sponsorships, and no company can pay to be featured or ranked higher. We list platforms purely based on trust, compliance, and community reputation. If you want to suggest a shop or update a listing, get in touch below:
