How We Rate and Compare Casinos

1. Identity and licensing

We begin with the legal operator rather than its marketing brand. A credible listing should reveal the company, its jurisdiction and licence identification. Any claim that a casino is UK-licensed should be checked against the official Gambling Commission register.

2. How bonuses are assessed

A high advertised match bonus is not inherently valuable. We compare qualifying deposits, wagering multiples, expiry, game exclusions and free-spin withdrawal limits.

3. Deposits and withdrawal process

A payment method shown on a home page may not process withdrawals. We look for accessible terms covering minimum deposits and withdrawals, cash-out processing times, fees and identity documentation.

4. Games and mobile experience

Instead of counting logos, a meaningful review checks the availability of relevant providers, accessible rules, game search and navigation on small screens.

5. Complaints and responsible gambling

We look for a usable support channel, published complaints route, limits, session breaks and exclusion controls. Offshore status changes a UK player's dispute options and should not be portrayed as an advantage.

About scores and placement

The first five numerical scores and bonus amounts come from supplied editorial reference data. They have not been independently audited for this new website. Commission-earning links are disclosed and must not be mistaken for licensing certificates.
