Review process
We treat a casino like a financial service: money in, money out, support when things break. Below is the framework we use before a site earns — or loses — a place on the list.
Every casino we feature goes through the same four passes before we even think about rankings.
Licence & company sanity check
Re-reviewed every 3 monthsWe start with the UKGC register: company name, URL and licence number must line up. If anything feels off, the brand never reaches the shortlist.
Real-money payout test
Goal: funds within 24hWe make normal-sized withdrawals with common methods and time how long the money takes to land once ID has been verified.
Small-print & bonus scan
No hidden ‘gotchas’We dig through wagering, stake caps, excluded games and expiry dates. If the promo reads like a booby trap, we flag it or skip the brand.
Support under pressure
24/7 has to mean 24/7We push support with real problems, not just password resets. We measure how quickly tricky cases get escalated and properly closed.
If a site fails one of these checks and doesn't fix it, we either mark it as “under review” or remove it completely from the shortlist.
The more of these boxes a brand ticks, the higher we're willing to place it.
Brand name, domain and licence record match the UKGC entry and there’s no ugly history in public decisions.
Most test withdrawals clear inside a day once KYC is done — without surprise forms or extra document hunts.
Wagering, maximum bet and notable restrictions are shown before you deposit, not hidden three clicks deep.
Our team chooses and orders brands. Commercial deals don’t buy a higher spot and affiliate links are marked as such.
Scores are based on our tests plus player reports we can back up with evidence — not who pays the biggest commission.
One serious red flag is usually enough for a casino not to make the cut.
Vague or buried bonus terms
Key limits are hidden in walls of text or written to confuse. We don’t send players into that kind of deal.
Payouts stuck in limbo
ID checks drag on for weeks or withdrawals are frozen with copy-paste replies instead of clear explanations.
Weird payment detours
Redirects to processors that don’t clearly reference the casino or look nothing like the brand you signed up with.
No one to hold responsible
No useful ownership details, no registered address, just a contact form and hope. That’s a hard pass.
If a brand cleans up its act and stays consistent for a while, we may take another look — but there's no automatic way back onto the list.
Use the form or the direct inboxes if something feels off with a brand, a payout or our rankings. We usually reply within a UK working day.
