An independent guide to licensed online gambling in Great Britain

What we do

We publish detailed reviews of online casinos holding an active remote operating licence from the Gambling Commission, the statutory regulator for gambling in Great Britain under the Gambling Act 2005.

Every review states the licensee, its account number and its licence number, with a direct link to its entry on the public register, so any reader can independently confirm the information.

What we do not do

We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept bets, process deposits, manage player accounts or pay out prizes.

We do not list, promote or favourably mention operators that do not hold a Gambling Commission licence. We do not target anyone under 18, nor anyone who has self-excluded through GAMSTOP.

How we are funded

The site is funded through affiliate marketing. When a reader opens an account through one of our links, the operator may pay us a commission. The reader pays nothing for this, and the terms offered are exactly the same.

This compensation does not influence scores, rankings or review content. We do not accept payment to change a rating, remove a criticism or move an operator up a list. The full explanation is on our Disclosure page.

Our editorial team

The team brings together writers specialising in regulated gambling and a compliance reviewer responsible for checking every licence reference against the public register. All content is reviewed before publication.

Our contributors are prohibited from holding individual commercial relationships with operators they write about.

Corrections and transparency

If you spot an inaccuracy, write to editorial@portcasinoreview.com. We check every message and, when we confirm an error, we correct it and mark the date of the change on the affected page.

Reviews are revisited at least quarterly, and immediately whenever an operator’s licence status changes on the Gambling Commission register.

Our safer gambling commitment

Every page on this site carries the 18+ notice and links to support services. Our content follows the UK advertising codes (CAP Code) for gambling: we do not suggest that gambling is a financial solution, present winnings as likely or guaranteed, or pressure readers into acting immediately.

We support and publicise GAMSTOP, the National Gambling Helpline and the other free support services listed in our footer.
