How we review, how we are funded, how to check a licence yourself and where to find free support if gambling stops being fun.
How does CheckCasinoReview review a UK casino brand?
Every brand is scored against a fixed 40-point checklist covering licensing, payout timelines, bonus fairness, customer support responsiveness, mobile performance and the visibility of responsible-gambling controls. Reviewers open a real account, complete verification and request a withdrawal before a score is published.
Is CheckCasinoReview an operator?
No. CheckCasinoReview is an independent UK review publisher. We do not accept deposits, hold funds or operate any casino product. When you follow a link to a reviewed brand you leave our pages and deal directly with that operator under its own terms.
How do I check a licence myself?
Every brand we cover links directly to its entry on the UK Gambling Commission public register. Open the licence link on the review page, confirm the account number matches, and check the status reads as active before you register anywhere.
Do you earn money from the brands you review?
Yes, and we say so plainly. Some outbound links are commercial arrangements that may earn CheckCasinoReview a fee. That fee never changes a score, a ranking or a written verdict. Our full statement is on the Disclosure page.
Who is allowed to use a UK-licensed casino brand?
You must be 18 or over and physically located in the United Kingdom. Operators are required to verify your age and identity before you deposit. Anyone registered with GamStop will be blocked from opening or using an account with a UK-licensed operator.
What should I do if my gambling stops feeling in control?
Stop and use the free support listed in our footer. GamStop lets you self-exclude from every UK-licensed operator in one request, BeGambleAware offers confidential advice and the National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, and Gamblers Anonymous runs peer support meetings across the UK.
How often is the index updated?
Scores are re-checked every quarter and immediately after any licensing change, ownership change or material update to an operator terms. The date of the last review appears on each brand page.
Do you publish user submitted content?
No. Every word on CheckCasinoReview is written and edited by our own editorial team. We do not host comment threads, forums or uploads, so there is no unmoderated third-party content anywhere on this domain.
