How We Rate Casinos
Six scores, fixed weights, and a written justification for each one in the review itself. No score is set by what a casino pays.

The six scores
Every review scores a site out of 10 in six areas. The overall figure is a weighted average of those six — it isn't a separate opinion, and it can't be nudged.
| Score | Weight | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus value | 20% | The real value after wagering, not the headline. Low wagering, a high max win and few game restrictions push it up; a big number with 65x attached pushes it down. |
| Games | 20% | Range, the providers behind it, whether RTP is visible, demo play, and live casino if the site offers one. |
| Banking | 20% | Withdrawal speed as actually stated, minimum withdrawal, fees, and the range of methods. Slow or vague withdrawal terms cost the most here. |
| Trust and safety | 20% | Licence status, how clearly terms are published, the safer-gambling tools offered, and the operator's regulatory record. |
| Mobile | 10% | How the site behaves on a phone, and whether an app exists and is worth using. |
| Support | 10% | Channels, hours, and clarity of answers to specific questions. |
What we don't do
- A site without a score appears as "not yet rated".
- We don't give sister sites the same score by default. Sites on one platform share plenty, but their offers, promotions and support hours differ, and the scores follow the differences.
Ordering on list pages
Category pages and the home toplist sort by overall score, highest first. Where a site is pinned out of that order — because it's the obvious answer for that specific category — the page says so on the card.
When offers change
Offers change constantly. Read the current terms before claiming a bonus. If a figure is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it and say so.
Which sites we'll list at all
Only casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission qualify. The operating company must appear on thepublic register with the domain listed against that licence. Sites without a UK licence don't appear here at all — not as a recommendation, not as a comparison, not as a warning. More on that in our editorial policy.
