Chipmakers HallHow live dealer works
A studio host runs roulette, blackjack, baccarat or game-show formats under camera. Your bets travel through the licensed operator’s platform; outcomes follow the physical game, subject to the studio’s published rules. RNG slots are a different product category.
UK-licensed operators must still meet Commission standards for fairness and player protection when you play live from an app or browser.
What to look for on mobile
- Lobby filters — stakes, game type and provider should be reachable with one hand.
- Bitrate behaviour — a good client drops quality gracefully on weaker 4G instead of freezing mid-spin.
- Interface chrome — chat, chip selectors and “rebet” controls should not cover the wheel or cards.
- Session tools — reality checks and limit settings ought to remain accessible mid-session.
Common table types
Roulette — European single-zero layouts are common online; check the table’s rule card for special bets.
Blackjack — side bets and seat counts vary; mobile UIs should show your total without hiding the dealer’s upcard.
Game shows — multiplier formats with a host; entertaining, and often higher variance than classic tables.
Etiquette in brief
Keep chat civil, avoid delaying decisions when a timer is running, and never ask a dealer for personal advice about gambling. If you need a break, leave the table rather than multitasking through a hand.
Safer play still applies
Live formats can stretch time without you noticing. Set a session reminder, use operator deposit limits, and consider GamStop if you need a hard stop across licensed UK sites. More practical steps sit on our responsible gambling page.
