How to check an online casino
Four checks that help you understand a casino's identity, games, withdrawals and safeguards.
Check the licensed domain
Match the casino's domain and operating business against the Gambling Commission public register. Confirm the current status rather than relying on a logo.
Read the game information
Check the actual variants available, their rules and the RTP information published for each game where relevant. RTP describes a theoretical long-run return, not what will happen in one session.
Examine withdrawal conditions
Look for verification requirements, limits, processing stages and excluded payment methods. A speed claim needs to be read alongside those conditions.
Locate safer-gambling tools
Find spending limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in the account area. You should be able to reach help without searching through promotional pages.
Does a casino licence guarantee winnings?
No. A licence is a regulatory check, not a guarantee of any particular result.
