UK Casino Guide

New to online casinos? Follow these six steps to pick a safe, fair and rewarding site.

Step 1

Check the licence

Only play at casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. The licence number is usually shown in the site footer and can be verified on the UKGC register.

Step 2

Compare welcome bonuses

Look beyond the headline figure. Check the wagering requirements, game weighting, maximum bet and expiry date before you opt in.

Step 3

Review platform security

Choose a casino that supports your preferred secure methods, with reasonable limits and fast processing times.

Step 4

Understand wagering

A "30x" requirement means you must wager the bonus 30 times before completing the requirements. Lower is better — we flag low-wagering offers in our reviews.

Step 5

Test the mobile experience

Most UK players gamble on mobile. We test each casino on phones and tablets for speed, layout and game availability.

Step 6

Set your limits first

Before starting, set strict limits and session limits in the responsible gambling settings. Treat gambling as entertainment, not a financial strategy.
