So you don’t have to. We check the UKGC licence, the fines and every line of the terms, and where we can, we time a real withdrawal. Then we tell you what it means, in plain words.

Our story
In 2023 we were just players. We wanted to know if a bonus was any good, and we couldn’t tell. The rules were three clicks deep. The payout time said “fast”. The site claimed 2,000 games and we kept seeing the same twenty.
So we spent two years working out what to check, in what order, and what counts as proof. Then we wrote it down the way we wish someone had written it for us: one market at a time, by people who know how it works there.
We’re still players. Now we keep receipts.

MozambiqueThe method
Every UK review starts with the same ten checks, from the UKGC licence to how easy it is to stop. They become six marks. The marks become one score, worked out the same way for every casino.
Checked at every casino
Share of the score
When we test
Each of the six marks starts in the middle and moves up or down only with evidence.
However good the rest is, a red flag sets a ceiling the score cannot pass.
A big bonus you can never cash out scores lower than a small one you can.
Our editorial team
Our editors check each casino’s UKGC licence and terms, then explain what matters to you.
Leads this edition
Content Editor · ex-cyber security
United KingdomIrelandAlan reviews casinos the way he used to assess security risks: nothing gets the benefit of the doubt until it holds up under scrutiny. He checks what most reviews overlook, like licensing, how a site handles your data and what the withdrawal terms deliver once the welcome offer is out of the way. A published author, he gives you the verdict in plain English, not a technical checklist.

Funding
Some casinos pay us a commission when you sign up through our links. It pays for the testing. It does not buy a score or a place in our rankings.
Every casino is tested and scored before any commercial conversation.
Commission decides which links are paid links. It never changes a score or a place in our rankings.
When a link earns us money, it will tell you right where you click it.
Safe gambling
We test the safety tools at every UK casino, from deposit limits to GAMSTOP, and they count towards the score. Hidden tools cost points.
