UK online casino reviews, grouped by the licensed company

By the company that holds the licence, largest group first, and alphabetically inside each group. There is no overall score and no ranking, because a single number invites you to trust the number instead of the facts behind it — and it would be the easiest thing on this site to sell.

40 brands have a full operational record: deposit floor, withdrawal window, verification timing, fees and payment-method counts, all from published terms. The other 11 were found by reading the domains declared under a licence we had already verified, so their company, account and registered office are confirmed at source while their operating details are not. Each page says which of the two it is.

Because white-labelling is the norm in Britain rather than the exception. One licensed company holds the licence, runs the platform and carries the regulatory risk; other parties bring brands and audiences. It is entirely legitimate, and it means a comparison between two brands can be a comparison of one business with itself.

We publish what is verified and mark what is not. A brand with no operational record still gets a page, because the licence facts are real and useful, and because the page says plainly that the deposit and payout figures are missing rather than filling them with an estimate.

More than are listed here. We read 2,664 licensed businesses in the Gambling Commission register carrying 2,135 declared gambling domains. This site covers 51 brands in depth and identifies many more through the lookup tool.

Not yet in this index. Over a hundred formerly licensed British casino brands have shut, and a reader with an old balance or an unresolved complaint still needs to know which company was behind one. That is a planned section rather than a finished one, and saying so is better than implying coverage we do not have.

The ones readers actually search for. Selection was made on measured brand demand in the UK — every search form of a brand's name — rather than on our impression of importance. That is why the list contains names a British player recognises immediately alongside several they will not.

Yes, and the useful version of that request includes the domain. We can resolve a domain to a licensee through the register; a brand name alone is the one thing the register cannot match, which is the whole difficulty this site exists to handle.

No. Nothing on this site is monetised at present — no affiliate links, no paid placement, no commercial relationship with any operator named. If that ever changes, the pages carrying a paid link will say so on the page itself.

No. There is no score, no top ten and no ordering by what a brand pays us — nothing on this site currently earns anything from any operator. The list is grouped by the licensed company and alphabetical within each group. A ranking of 51 casinos would be a judgement presented as a calculation, and the register cannot support one.

The register reading is dated and printed on every page that uses it. Licence details — the licensee, the account number, the registered office — change slowly. Operating details such as payment methods and withdrawal windows change without notice, which is why each figure carries the operator's own wording and the date we read it rather than being presented as current fact.

Three reasons cover almost every case. It has closed, and we do not write reviews of sites nobody can join. It holds no Gambling Commission licence, in which case the method this site uses cannot check it at all. Or it is licensed and trading and we have not written it up yet — we hold records for far more brands than we have reviewed, and the ones with a page are named on every page that lists them.

That one company runs both. They will normally share a platform, the same published terms, the same verification team and the same complaints route, which is the entire thing a player is choosing between. It is not a warning — large licensed groups are the ordinary shape of this market — but it does mean two accounts at two of them are one relationship, not two.

Every review links to the licence holder's own page on the Gambling Commission public register, which is free and needs no account. That is deliberate: the pages are worth reading only if you never have to take our word for anything, and the fastest way to keep a reference honest is to make checking it trivial.

No. Nothing on this site is monetised at present, and the affiliate disclosure says so in full. The prominent link on a review page is the one to the review itself; the link to the casino is the quiet one, which is the reverse of how an affiliate site is built.
