How We Rate Casinos

Every rating on this site follows the same five-part methodology, applied by reviewers who test each casino with real accounts.

Our top-rated partners

18+. New UK customers only. Wagering requirements and full T&Cs apply.

The scorecard

Five criteria, one standard

25%

Bonus fairness

We score the real value of offers, not the headline. Wagering requirements, game weightings, expiry windows and win caps are all factored in. A smaller bonus with fair terms outscores a big one wrapped in restrictions.

25%

User experience

We assess how easy the site is to navigate on desktop and mobile, how clearly offers are explained, and whether account tools are straightforward to find and use.

20%

Games & software

Library size, studio variety, live casino quality and published RTP levels. We check that games come from licensed, independently tested suppliers.

15%

Safer gambling tools

Spend limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion must be easy to find and activate. Operators that bury these tools lose points regardless of how good everything else is.

15%

Support & reputation

We contact support anonymously with real questions and measure response quality. We also review complaint patterns and regulatory history with the Gambling Commission.

How list scores are shown

On our comparison lists, the score and star rating for each brand are based on its position in the displayed order (1st, 2nd, 3rd…), not on a separate hidden score. Scores step from 10.0 down to 9.5 in 0.1 increments (desktop starts at 10.0; mobile at 9.9). Stars: positions 1–3 show 5 stars, 4–7 show 4.5, and the rest show 4.

Our independence, in plain terms

We earn commission from some casinos when you join through our links. This is how the site is funded, and it never changes a score: ratings are locked before commercial conversations happen, and casinos cannot pay to improve their position.

We only list operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. If a casino loses its licence, receives serious regulatory action, or fails one of our re-tests, it is removed from the site — several have been.
