Five UKGC-licensed operators, checked against the same list
Every card below carries the same licence and player-protection check, plus notes on game range, live casino and support. Cards are advertising — affiliate links pay for this site — but the notes underneath them are ours.
Ken Howells
Ken Howells trades on a named, personality-style identity rather than a big marketing budget, and the site itself is built around a fairly compact slots catalogue with a smaller live casino section bolted on.
Welcome offer: deposit match bonus for new customers· Ad · 18+ · T&Cs apply
Jackpot Star
Jackpot Star keeps things narrow on purpose: it's a slots-first site with no sportsbook and only a small live-dealer footprint, so the entire lobby is built around spinning reels rather than a bit of everything.
Welcome offer: free spins for new customers, no deposit required· Ad · 18+ · T&Cs apply
10Bet
10Bet has been running as a sports betting operator since the early 2000s, and that sportsbook heritage shows in how the casino side is built: it sits as a full second product rather than an afterthought bolted onto a betting site.
Welcome offer: matched deposit bonus on casino play· Ad · 18+ · T&Cs apply
Casushi
Casushi built its identity around a sushi-chef mascot and a levelling structure that unlocks small perks as an account is used more, which gives it more personality than most sites on this page without leaning on flashing promo banners to do it.
Welcome offer: deposit match plus a free spins package· Ad · 18+ · T&Cs apply
GRP Casino
GRP Casino is one of the newer names in this comparison, and it reads that way: the game catalogue is smaller than the more established brands here and is still visibly being built out month to month.
Welcome offer: deposit match on a first payment· Ad · 18+ · T&Cs apply

Before you sign up
Five things worth checking on any UK casino site
Is it actually UKGC-licensed?
Scroll to the footer and look for the licence number, or check the operator's name against the Gambling Commission's public register.
What's the wagering requirement?
A welcome offer with a lower multiplier and a longer expiry window is usually more usable than a bigger headline number with tight terms.
Is GAMSTOP self-exclusion mentioned?
Every UKGC-licensed operator has to support GAMSTOP. If you can't find a reference to it anywhere on the site, that's a red flag.
Does the live casino name its studio?
Operators that are upfront about who runs their live tables (Evolution and similar names) tend to be more transparent generally.
Are deposit limits easy to set?
Player-protection tools that are buried three menus deep are far less useful than ones sitting in plain view of the account page.
Is support actually reachable?
Try the live chat before you commit any money. A slow or missing response is a preview of what happens if something goes wrong later.

The full breakdown — licence, game range, live casino, mobile app, studios, support and usability side by side — lives on its own page so it's easier to scan on a small screen.

Same eight checks, every operator, no exceptions
Casino Indexer is independent and funded by affiliate commission when a reader signs up through a link on this site. That doesn't change what gets written: every operator here is checked against the same eight points — UK Gambling Commission licensing, game range, live casino, mobile app quality, the studios behind the games, welcome offer type, customer support and general day-to-day usability.
We don't test payment methods or withdrawal speed on this site, and scores aren't for sale — an operator paying for placement gets the same scrutiny as one that doesn't advertise with us at all. Where we're not confident in a detail, we leave it out rather than guess.

Questions
Frequently asked
Safety & licensing
Are the casinos on this page actually licensed?
Every operator listed holds a UK Gambling Commission remote gambling licence, which is the baseline we check before anything else goes on the page. If a site loses or suspends that licence, it comes off the list.
What does a UKGC licence actually guarantee?
It means the operator has passed fit-and-proper checks, keeps player funds appropriately segregated, and has to follow rules on fair game testing, advertising and player protection tools like deposit limits. It doesn't guarantee you'll enjoy the site or that the games suit you, which is where our comparison notes come in.
Can I self-exclude from more than one site at once?
Yes. GAMSTOP is a free UK-wide self-exclusion scheme that covers every operator licensed by the Gambling Commission, so registering once blocks you from all of them rather than needing to contact each site individually.
Bonuses & getting started
Why don't you list exact bonus amounts on every card?
Operators change offer terms often, and we'd rather describe the type of offer accurately than print a figure that's gone stale by the time you read it. Always check the operator's own terms page before signing up.
Do wagering requirements apply to every welcome offer?
Almost always, yes. A wagering requirement is the amount you need to bet before bonus funds (or winnings from bonus spins) become withdrawable, and it's usually written as a multiplier such as 35x. It's worth reading before you opt in, not after.
Is a bigger welcome offer automatically the better one?
Not necessarily. A smaller offer with lower wagering and a longer expiry can be more usable in practice than a headline figure wrapped in tight terms. That's part of why we don't rank operators purely on offer size.
