The Parameters that Go Into Deciding Our List of Top UK Online Casinos

As we mentioned earlier, there are a range of parameters we test the various UK online casinos we come across for. Our standards are really high; only the best of the best – the ones that clear all tests successfully – make it to our list. That is not all: we have a unique rating system in place. We have put together this system after a lot of study and analysis because it is not a simple thing to do. We have to:

  • Test all the online casinos we come across for multiple factors
  • Compare their individual scores against each other and sort out the best from the rest
  • Re-test the ones who are not on the ‘rest’ list.
  • Investigate them for any other flaws like:
  • Customer complaints
  • Licensing issues
  • Blacklistings
  • Other anomalies
  • Make a final list of the ones that come out unscathed

The following are the major criteria we check for:

  • Licensing
  • Security and reliability
  • Interface
  • Software
  • Range of games
  • Bonuses and promotions
  • Payment method support
  • Customer support
  • Customer feedback

Licensing


We test the different UK online casinos that we visit for their licensing information. The first thing we check is whether they have listed out their licensing information on the home page or anywhere else that is easily reachable.

  • Do they operate with an updated/upgraded UK license from UKGC?
  • If it is an overseas operator’s casino:
  • Has it applied for a UKGC license? If yes, does it have a continuity license in place till it gets the approved UKGC license?
  • Does its existing license belong to one of the white-collar jurisdictions for UK online casinos?

One thing you can be guaranteed about the casinos on our list: all of them are licensed by the UKGC and the ones owned by overseas operators have an authentic license from a white-collar licensing jurisdiction as well.

Security and Reliability

We go each casino we visit thoroughly and check for the following information:

  • Owner’s details
  • Jurisdiction the casino is licensed in
  • Certifications by independent testing and verification agencies
  • Security certificates or accreditation
  • Awards

When you pick a casino from our list you can be sure of the following:

  • It is completely secure and safe thanks to the use of at least industry-standard digital security technology like 128-bit SSL encryption.
  • There is total transparency in their method, which is why you will find the owner’s details listed.
  • All the casinos that make it to our list have been audited and certified by independent and renowned third party auditors for:
  • Fairness
  • Payouts
  • Zero incidence of gambling by minors
  • Accreditation by industry watchdogs or recognition in the form of awards

Interface

We test the different UK online casinos that we come across for their interface. A good online casino is one that has a reasonably well-laid out and yet elegant interface. There has to be the right balance between functionality and aesthetic. The top online casinos on our list all have the following:

  • Brilliant look and feel ranging from exciting to elegant
  • Uncluttered approach to design
  • Simple and convenient layout
  • Easy navigability that ensures you get most of what you want on the home screen itself
  • Great animations and graphics

Software

We test all the UK casinos that come our way for the software they use. We have a habit of rating the casinos we visit and one of the critical parameters that help us rate a casino is the software we use. All the casinos that clear our tests are powered by software from the best in the industry including, among others, the following:

  • Microgaming
  • Playtech
  • NetEnt
  • BetSoft
  • Leander Games

There are also casinos that are powered by aggregator platforms like White Hat Gaming, which bring together the top software providers on a single platform.

Game Range

The range of games on offer is another vital parameter we test the various UK casinos we visit for. Every casino on our list has a good selection of games. These include a sizeable selection of:

  • Slots: You get to play a range of slots: classic slots, video slots, and also slots unique to the software provider.

Bonuses and Promotions

We test all the casinos for UK players that we come across for the bonuses and promotions they offer their players. All casinos on our list offer a range of exciting bonuses for new players, including no deposit bonuses and welcome bonuses. There are bonuses for existing players as well, including:

  • Match bonuses
  • Reload bonuses
  • Cash back bonuses
  • Referral bonuses
  • Cash awards

Listing out the casinos with the best bonuses is one thing; but we go beyond that. Our team also examines minutely the terms and conditions attached to the bonuses. Then, we put these across to you in simple language to ensure there is no confusion about the terms.

Payment Method Support

We test all the UK online casinos for the range of payment methods supported. All the casinos on our list support locally popular payment methods like PayPal. The ability to make payments and withdraw easily forms a critical component of good casino gaming experience and we list out only those casinos where you are guaranteed this. We test out the different payment methods supported and also do extensive work in that vital aspect of the payment chain – withdrawals.

We study the withdrawal policy of the casino that we are testing and provide you valuable information about this. For instance:

  • What are the wagering requirements associated with a bonus for you to be eligible for withdrawal of winnings from it?
  • Is there a minimum deposit you need to make to qualify for withdrawal?
  • How much of your winnings can you withdraw?
  • Is there a withdrawal limit; for instance, is there a maximum amount you can withdraw per week or month?
  • How much time does the withdrawal process take?
  • Is there a reversal turnaround time? If so, how much is it?
  • How much time does it take for your winnings to reach your account once the withdrawal process is complete?

Customer Support


Customer support is one of the most vital aspects of a good casino experience. We test the different UK online casinos for the level of their customer support. Our team covers every aspect of the customer support experience:

  • Methods of customer support available
  • Availability of live support
  • Is 24×7 customer support available?
  • General demeanor of the customer support executive attending to you
  • How much is the response time for a query?
  • Does the casino have a comprehensive FAQ?
