How We Rate
Transparency is central to UK Casino Compares. Here is the exact framework we use to evaluate every operator on our site.
Licensing & Trust
25 %We verify that the operator holds (or clearly advertises) a UK Gambling Commission licence and check for additional certifications such as eCOGRA or iTech Labs audits.
Bonus Value & Fairness
25 %We look beyond headline numbers. A smaller bonus with a 20× wager can be worth more than a huge bonus locked behind 50× terms. We score the effective value after requirements.
Payout Speed
20 %We time real withdrawals across multiple payment methods and penalise operators that impose unnecessary holding periods or hidden verification delays.
Game Library
15 %Variety matters—slots, table games, live dealer, and niche titles. We also check which software providers are featured and whether popular titles load quickly on mobile.
Customer Support
15 %We contact each casino’s support team via live chat and email, measuring response time, helpfulness, and whether agents can resolve issues without unnecessary escalation.
Our editorial principles
- ✓No operator can pay for a higher ranking. Affiliate partnerships fund the site but do not influence scores.
- ✓We re-evaluate every listing at least once per month and demote or remove casinos that fall below our standards.
- ✓Reader feedback is actively incorporated. If you spot something we missed, use the contact page to let us know.
