Methodology

How we rate UK casinos

Casino Review Registry assigns a percentage match score to each operator based on eight checkable criteria. Scores are editorial estimates for newcomer-friendliness — not predictions of winnings.

Criteria

1. UKGC licence — verified on the public register. No licence, no listing.
2. Game range — breadth and how games are organised for players still learning categories.
3. Live casino — provider quality, table count and ease of access from the lobby.
4. Mobile access — native app, mobile web or both; parity with desktop navigation.
5. Game studios — notable providers and whether filters help discovery.
6. Welcome offer type — structure and how clearly terms appear before opt-in.
7. Customer support — channel availability and responsiveness to common new-player queries.
8. Usability — overall layout clarity, verification flow and account settings.

What we exclude

We do not score payment methods, withdrawal speeds or deposit limits. Those vary by account and are outside our comparison scope.

Updates
