How We Review & Rate the Best Online Casino UK Sites

If you’ve been with us for a while then you already know that we make it our mission to bring you the very best online gambling experience possible. So, of course, we take the time to do our research thoroughly and only show you the best casino sites UK available on the market.

H2 How We Review & Rate the Best Online Casino UK Sites

Before we create our list of UK online casinos we take each site through a process with super strict criteria and our experts deep dive to find out all important details about the gambling sites and show them to you.

Below you will find all the elements that we take into account when we make the most trusted online casino UK sites list.

Reputation & Sister Sites

Most new online casino sites nowadays don’t come from just established companies, they come from well-known brands that have been around for a while.

This means that when we check new sites, we will first look at any other sister sites to see what their reputation is and if they are well-liked. If the sister sites are great places to play your favourite games, with a spotless reputation, then this one too will most probably be worth it.

All complaints, security breaches, also awards for doing the best job, having enough liquidity to cover all winnings, and paying out on time and in full are things we assess.

Licenses & Security

Safety is a key element for us and we never compromise on this item – we check licenses and make sure that you are always well taken care of. If you’re a UK player, then all the casinos you pick must have a license from the UKGC (UK Gambling Commission).

Each casino needs to have a license for each jurisdiction it offers its services to, as well as top-notch state-of-the-art SSL encryption to protect your data.

Fairness & Support

We also look for independent testing companies like eCOGRA or iTech Labs to make sure that the casino’s RNG (random number generator) is functioning perfectly and that no games are rigged, everything is always fair and advantageous to the player.

Furthermore, no matter what happens, you should have full support at all times so having a dedicated customer support team that’s on call 24/7 and ready to help you is crucial.

Mobile Experience

At this moment in time, most online casinos reviewed by us are mobile sites, meaning that you can access them for any device you want, from laptops and desktop systems to smartphones and tablets.

The experience should be seamless no matter what device you use, and you should have fun with no hassle.

Most websites have an instant-play format, so you can access them from a mobile device instantly, directly through your browser with no download required.

Some casinos also have dedicated mobile apps, for iOS and Android devices, which will provide you with fast login and a great time, every time.

Bonuses & VIP Program

Assuming you’re looking for the best online casino UK sites, you should know that the market is super competitive, which works to great and to the advantage of players. This happens because all gambling sites are trying to better themselves and surpass their competition to reach the top.

We expect the sites we promote to have the very best casino bonuses which will satisfy all tastes and needs – from no deposit bonuses all the way to hefty welcome bonuses and reload offers. They should have something for everyone, to improve their chances of winning and help them have a great time.

The VIP program is also important as it will reward existing customers for their loyalty and give them better bonuses, larger limits, and many more amazing perks.

Special offers, like mobile bonuses or deals for the holidays, are also a plus, the more varied their selection, the better.

Game Collection

The best online casino UK sites should have hundreds, even thousands of exceptional casino games. While numbers are really important, variety is even more important, and we expect gambling websites to have plenty of titles for every main game category.

An impressive selection of slots from the best software providers of the industry (NetEnt, Microgaming, Pragmatic Play & more), the latest live dealer games, and all the most important table games (blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, poker etc) are all a great addition.

Easy & Fast Sign-Up Process

Casino online UK sites (and casinos from other jurisdictions as well) have strict legal requirements when players sign up. They will verify the information provided by players t check that they are who they say they are and that they are of legal age (18+).

While verification is crucial and we encourage it, we also appreciate the process being super straightforward, you should go through it easily and very fast.

Payment Methods

Having several payment methods at your disposal is preferable as this means you can deposit and withdraw with your method of choice without having to create any new accounts.

There are some payment methods that are available at all online casinos UK sites, like debit cards and wire transfers, but the best ones also have:

  • E-wallets – Skrill, Neteller, PayPal
  • Pay by phone – via SMS or phone bill
  • Prepaid cards – PaySafeCard
  • Others – cryptocurrency, Boku.

Fast Withdrawals

Another key element aside from what banking methods you can use to withdraw your winnings is how fast you can do it. Sure, it’s amazing to be able to withdraw large sums with no extra costs, but you should also get the funds instantly or as soon as possible.

Methods like e-wallets and crypto, for example, will bring you your funds right away, in under 24 hours. All casinos that take fewer than 24 hours to perform the withdrawal are considered fast withdrawal sites and are your best bet.

Comparison to Other Brands

After we’ve performed this thorough analysis of all the casino has to offer, we will begin comparing brands against one another. We make this comparison constantly to also include new casino online UK sites and to see what has changed in the meantime.

We have over 1500 listed brands, out of which over 700 have a UKGC license and several more than accept UK players from offshore. On this page, we only list the very best online casino UK sites so that you can clearly see which ones fit all your preferences.

How to Play at Top Online Casinos in UK

  1. First, you must check our UK online casinos list and pick the ones that seem to be a great fit.

SlotsCalendar Advice: We recommend that you also read our casino reviews to be able to see the full picture. You will need all the information you can get to make an informed decision. Our reviews are in-depth and complete so you know what to expect.

  1. After you’ve decided on a casino and checked out what it can offer you, use our links to reach the site. 
  2. Once you’ve reached the website, sign up for an account.
  3. Complete all the necessary information and ensure that it’s correct and go through the verification process.
  4. Claim the signup or welcome bonus.
  5. Make your first deposit.
  6. Play all your favourite casino games.
  7. After you’ve won, request a withdrawal and get your funds right away.
  8. Repeat steps 5 to 8, as you please, deposit, get bonuses and play to your heart’s content.

KYC Requirements at Licensed UK Online Casino Sites

Before you make a deposit or a withdrawal, you will have to complete the KYC. KYC stands for Know Your Customer and is a requirement for all UKGC-licensed online casinos.

The check is performed to confirm your identity, but it also protects you from identity and cash theft, and protects minors from being exposed to gambling promotional materials.

The process is very easy and quick and it will allow the casino to provide its services to you. Since you are a new player you will have to give the website proof of identity and of address (with a form of ID and a utility bill).

There is no way around these checks when playing at a casino online UK real money site as they exist for your and the casino’s protection.

H2 UK Gambler Profile

Mobile phones and tablets have become the most used device for gambling, and most players really love playing slots with the help of free bonuses or large deposit offers.

UK Casino Online Licensing & Legislation

Gambling at English online casinos and offline casinos is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) which is known as the most strict and fair authority worldwide. The UKGC acts on behalf of the Government for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the legislation put in place by the Gambling Act of 2005.

Online gambling is legal in the United Kingdom and independent operators from all over the world can apply for a license. All laws and regulations are very clear and players are completely safe when gambling at online casinos licensed by the UKGC.

All UK casino sites must have full licensing, ideally by the UK Gambling Commission. We only list casinos that have a full license, either from the UKGC or from other respected regulators, like Malta Gaming Authority for example, if we can verify and prove that they are 100% safe.

History of UK Gambling

  • Gambling has existed in this area since the Middle Ages. The first gambling activities of British ancestors were horse racing and dice games. The first records are from 1190 when only noblemen were able to gamble.
  • In 1694 the first lottery already existed but it was sanctioned as new religious influences thought that gambling was immoral.
  • Gambling continued to operate illegally until the 19th century
  • The Gaming and Betting Act of 1845 and the one of 1853 banned most forms of gambling
  • In 1960 the situation started improving and new legislation appeared and casinos were legal for the first time.
  • In 2005, gambling was already a huge market and that’s why the UK Gambling Commission was formed and the Gambling Act of 2005 legalised all gambling and regulated the industry.

How Brexit Affects Online Casinos in UK

After several years of negotiations and political agendas, in 2016 the UK decided to leave the European Union (EU). This full change took place on the 31st of January 2020, and it is known as Brexit. Every single industry in the UK was affected in some way by this decision, some positively, others negatively.

Luckily, online gambling wasn’t centrally regulated by the EU so there is no huge impact on gambling after the split, as all companies who wish to offer gambling services are still operating in the UK with a license obtained from the UKGC.

SlotsCalendar Advice: There are many casino online UK operators that provide their services to UK players using a Gibraltar license. Gibraltar is a part of UK, which means they can also operate with UKGC backing and don’t require any special transition post-Brexit.

Consequently, at this moment, there is no real change and Brexit has no effect on players or operators. Assuming that the EU will impose harsher regulations on gambling, this will not affect the British market at all, or European players might migrate to the best online casino UK sites thus boosting the UK economy further.

Gambling Tax at Casino Sites UK

Online and offline gambling creates a lot of revenue for the United Kingdom, through regulation and taxation. Casinos and sportsbooks share a percentage of the profits with the government, and the best part is that taxes fall solely on operators. UK players don’t have to pay any taxes on winnings when they play at licensed casino online UK sites.

Deposit and Withdrawals at Casinos Online UK

Payment Method Withdrawal Time  Frequency of Use  Partnered casinos listed on our website
PayPal < 1 day often 744+
Boku < 1 day sometimes 700+
Pay By Phone  < 1 day often 100+
Paysafecard < 1 day often 600+
Neteller < 1 day often 1100+
Debit Cards 3 – 5 working days very often 900+

As you’ll see in the table above, there are plenty of payment methods that are available to UK players. Depending on what your priority is, you should pick either the methods that offer you the option of making the smallest deposits or the ones that allow you to withdraw winnings as soon as possible.

You may choose minimum deposit casinos or the best payout online casino UK sites and fastest, and sometimes even one that fits both criteria.

Top 10 UK Game Providers for UK Casino Sites

Software Provider Year of Establishment Number of Games  Partnered casinos listed on our website
