How we rate casinos

Every score on this site comes from a real account, real money and the same six checks. Here is exactly how it works.

We open an account at every casino we review, verify it, deposit, play and withdraw. Each area below gets a score from 0 to 10, and the overall score is their weighted average. The weights are the same for every casino and are shown below.

Six scored areas

Weights apply to every casino in the same way.

  1. Licence & safety

    25%

    UK Gambling Commission licence checked on the public register, ownership, complaints history and safer-gambling tools.

  2. Payments & withdrawals

    20%

    Real deposit and withdrawal: speed, fees, verification friction and the range of methods.

  3. Games

    20%

    Size and quality of the lobby, live tables, providers and published RTPs.

  4. Bonus fairness

    15%

    Wagering, max bet, expiry and game weighting, read in full. Offers above the UK 10x cap are never listed.

  5. Support

    10%

    Live chat and email tested with a real question about terms or withdrawals.

  6. Mobile

    10%

    Mobile site or app tested on iOS and Android for speed and access to all features.

Overall score = the weighted average of the areas above, from 0 to 10, rounded to one decimal. Areas we could not test are left out rather than guessed.

What a review involves

About 2 weeks per casino

  1. Licence check

    We confirm the licence and the company behind it on the regulator’s public register.

  2. Real account

    We sign up and pass the same ID checks as any player.

  3. Money in and out

    We deposit, play and time a real withdrawal.

  4. Score and re-check

    Scores are signed off by a second reviewer and re-checked at least every 6 months.

What never changes a score

We earn a commission when some readers sign up through our links. That pays for the testing. It does not buy a score, a position or a review.

  • Commission – rates are not visible to reviewers
  • Advertising – is never sold as a ranking position
  • Pinned casinos – are marked, with the reason stated

Questions about our method

How often do you re-test casinos?

At least every six months, and straight away when terms, ownership or licence status change.

Can a casino pay for a better score?

No. Scores come from our tests only. Commercial deals never change a score or a ranking.

Why is a casino I like missing?

We only list casinos licensed for this market. Others may be waiting for a full test.
