Compare UK-licensed casino sites

How we compare UK casino sites

Every online casino on this page holds a Great Britain licence issued by the Gambling Commission, which is the minimum requirement for an operator to accept UK players legally. We check the licence number against the public register, read the full written terms of each welcome offer, note the minimum deposit and the published withdrawal times, and record how the operator handles support requests.

Our score out of five reflects those checks and nothing else. It is our opinion, not a guarantee of any outcome, and it says nothing about how any individual session will go. Gambling is a form of paid entertainment with a built-in house edge: over time the operator keeps a share of everything staked.

What to check before you sign up

• Wagering requirement. How many times the bonus (and sometimes the deposit) must be staked before any bonus winnings can be withdrawn.
• Minimum deposit and maximum bet. Most UK welcome offers need a £10 deposit and cap the stake while a bonus is active.
• Game weighting. Slots usually count fully towards wagering; table games and live casino often count much less, or not at all.
• Expiry dates. Free spins commonly expire within 72 hours to 7 days, and bonus funds within 30 days.
• Maximum conversion. Several offers cap how much of the bonus winnings can become withdrawable cash.
• Verification and payments. UK operators must verify your identity and age before you play, and some exclude certain payment methods from bonus eligibility.

Understanding welcome offer terms

A headline figure such as "100% up to £75" describes a match on your first deposit, not money you can withdraw. If the offer carries a 10x wagering requirement on the deposit plus bonus, a £75 deposit matched with £75 means £1,500 must be staked before the bonus balance converts. No-wagering offers, such as free spins paid as cash, are simpler because winnings are withdrawable straight away, though other conditions may still apply.

Read the significant terms shown next to each offer above, and the operator's full terms on their own site, before deciding whether an offer suits you. A bonus is never a reason to deposit more than you had planned to spend.

Payments and withdrawals

UK casino sites accept debit cards, and many also support PayPal, Apple Pay and bank transfer. Credit cards have been banned for online gambling in Great Britain since 2020. Withdrawal times in the table above are the operator's published processing times once identity checks are complete; your bank or wallet may add its own delay. Operators can pause a withdrawal to complete verification or source-of-funds checks, which is a regulatory requirement rather than a delay tactic.

Licensing and player protection in Great Britain

A Gambling Commission licence obliges an operator to keep player funds separate from operating money, to verify age and identity, to offer deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion, and to intervene where play shows signs of harm. You can confirm any operator's status yourself on the Commission's public register.

GAMSTOP lets you block yourself from every online operator licensed in Great Britain, free of charge, for six months, one year or five years. Registering with GAMSTOP also stops marketing from those operators.
