Methodology

How we assess every operator

The same scorecard is applied to every operator. No commercial partnership changes a score.

  1. 01

    Licence verification

    We confirm the licensee, account number and active licensed activities directly on the Gambling Commission public register, and check the brand’s domain is listed against that licensee. An operator without an active licence is never listed.

  2. 02

    Real-account testing

    We open an account, complete the age and identity checks, deposit and withdraw funds, and time every step of the process.

  3. 03

    Terms analysis

    We read the terms in full, paying particular attention to wagering requirements (capped at 10x in Great Britain), withdrawal conditions, bonus conversion caps and dormant-account clauses.

  4. 04

    Safer gambling tools

    We assess deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks, self-exclusion and the link to GAMSTOP, the national online self-exclusion scheme.

  5. 05

    Customer support

    We contact support by chat and email with genuine questions and measure both the speed and the quality of the answers, including how complaints are escalated to an ADR provider.

  6. 06

    Ongoing review

    Every review is revisited at least quarterly, and immediately whenever an operator’s licence status changes on the register.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The essentials of licensed online gambling in Great Britain.

Is online gambling legal in the UK?

Yes. In Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) online gambling is legal and regulated under the Gambling Act 2005. Any operator offering gambling to players in Great Britain must hold a remote operating licence from the Gambling Commission, wherever the company itself is based. Northern Ireland has its own separate gambling law.

What is the Gambling Commission?

The Gambling Commission is the statutory regulator for gambling in Great Britain. It issues operating licences, sets the licence conditions and codes of practice operators must follow, takes enforcement action, and maintains the public register of licensees.

How do I check that a casino holds a valid licence?

Licensed sites must show their Gambling Commission account number, usually in the footer. Search for that number or the company name on the Commission’s public register, check that the licence is Active, and confirm the website you are using appears in the licensee’s list of domain names. Every review on this site links straight to the operator’s register entry.

Which licences do the operators on this site hold?

BetCrown is operated by Anakatech Interactive Limited, Gambling Commission account no. 48789, licence 048789-R-327402-014, with remote casino and remote general betting (real and virtual events) active. UK Riches is operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited, account no. 39175, licence 039175-R-319452-025, with remote casino and remote bingo active. Both entries are on the public register and linked from each review.

Can I play on sites without a UK licence?

We do not recommend it under any circumstances. Operators without a Gambling Commission licence are not supervised by the regulator, are not part of GAMSTOP, are not bound by UK rules on stake limits, bonuses or age checks, and give you no access to an approved dispute resolution service if something goes wrong.

How does self-exclusion work in the UK?

GAMSTOP is a free national self-exclusion scheme. Once you register at gamstop.co.uk, you are blocked from every online gambling site licensed in Great Britain for the period you choose — 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. You can also self-exclude directly with any single operator from your account.

Are there limits on online slot stakes?

Yes. Since 2025, online slots in Great Britain have a maximum stake of £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over, and £2 per spin for players aged 18 to 24. UK slot design rules also ban autoplay and features that speed up play, and set a minimum spin time of 2.5 seconds.
