Criteria we check
01
UKGC licence
We only list brands that present as licensed for Great Britain. Absence of clear licensing ends the review.
02
Game range
Slots, table games and specialty titles — judged for useful depth on mobile, not raw catalogue bragging.
03
Live casino on small screens
Can you find tables quickly? Do streams stay watchable? Are limits readable without constant zooming?
04
App & mobile web
Native apps and browser builds are both valid. We mark clarity, stability of navigation and how quickly safer-play tools appear.
05
Studios & titles
Presence of recognised providers and whether standout titles load cleanly on a handset.
06
Welcome offer type
Described neutrally (match bonus, spins package, and so on). We never invent exact figures or call an offer “best”.
07
Customer support
Reachability from a phone — help links, chat entry points, clarity of help articles.
08
Overall usability
The day-to-day feel: search, filters, account limits, and whether the lobby fights the thumb.
What the letters mean
A — consistently strong across the mobile-weighted criteria with only minor caveats.
B — solid for most players, with a clear gap in one or two areas (often live depth or app polish).
C — usable, yet thinner on live catalogue, studio breadth or mobile structure.
D — material gaps for the criteria we publish; we rarely keep such brands in a shortlist.
What we leave out
Payment methods, deposit routes, withdrawal speeds and bank-specific advice are outside our remit. This is a reviews and comparison resource, not a payments guide.
For the live-dealer angle in more detail, read our live casino guide. Current shortlist grades sit on the homepage showcase.
