Nights out, offers in, small print read. · Monday 26 October 2026
Casino columnist
Terry Lark writes our casino reviews. He is a London punter who likes roulette, slots and a night out, and he reads the win cap before he counts the spins. Terry is a house character: every review under his name is researched and tested on a real account by our editors, and the tester is named on the page.
ReviewVirgin Bet is one of those casino sites that needs a word of housekeeping first. Virgin Games has gone, and the Virgin name in British online casino now belongs to Virgin Bet, the sportsbook launched in 2019 and run from Gibraltar by Virgin Bet Limited (so yes, the slots live in the same account and
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Videoslots is one of those casino sites that has been around long enough to have outlived a few fashions in slot design. It opened in 2011 (the footer still says so, which I find rather endearing), it runs from Malta, and it has spent the years since collecting games the way some of us collect beer
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Peachy Games is one of those sites that sounds like a sweet shop and turns out to be a sensible casino with a bingo hall out the back. I’ll admit the name made me expect a children’s app (it isn’t one, and it’s strictly 18+), but the lobby is a grown-up mix: Popular, New, Vegas, Slots, Live Casino,
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Mr Vegas is one of those casino sites that wears a loud name and then turns out to be run by people who read the small print for fun. The neon is mostly on the outside (the footer dates the brand to 2020, and it has spent the time since putting its name on Reading FC’s shirts, the Grand Slam of Dart
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Jackpot City is one of those casino sites that tells you what it’s for in the name, and then gets on with it. It’s a slots-and-jackpots place first: Mega Moolah, the WowPot network and a shelf of Must Win Jackpot games, from a library its own app listing puts at more than 450 games, with Microgaming
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026The Hippodrome Casino is one of those casino sites that comes with a building attached, and what a building. The Hippodrome opened on Cranbourn Street in January 1900 as a circus and variety house, Frank Matcham drew the front, and it reopened as a casino in July 2012 after a three-year conversion:
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Coral is one of those casino sites you’ve probably walked past a hundred times without going in. Most of us know it as the bookie on the corner (the site still has a shop locator, and a retail section in its promotions menu), so it’s easy to forget that the same login opens sports, games, a live cas
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Casiku is one of those casino sites that wants to get to know you before it shows you round. Its whole pitch is personalisation: your own player page, game lists and promotions shaped around what you play, and a lobby that leads with Trending and New rather than a wall of logos. (I’m not sure I want
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026Betway is one of those casino sites that started life as a bookmaker and then quietly built itself a proper casino next door. You can tell by the live lobby, which has a whole shelf marked Betway Exclusive: Betway Roulette, Betway Blackjack 1 to 4, Betway Speed Baccarat and, for reasons best known t
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026BestOdds is one of those casino sites that tells you in its name it would rather be a bookmaker. (I nearly walked past it for that reason.) It's young, too: the Gambling Commission licence only dates from August 2025, and the iPhone app arrived that November. The casino sits beside a sportsbook that
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 202632Red is one of those casino sites that was around before most of its rivals had a logo. It has been at this since 2002 (an age in online casino years, and the red has mellowed a little since), and these days it’s run from Gibraltar by the same company that runs Unibet. Underneath, it’s a big, sensi
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026One of the most searched-for online casino promotions is the no deposit bonus. The appeal is obvious: create an account and play without putting your hand in your…
Terry Lark · 25 Oct 2026
ReviewLottoland is one of those casino sites that does things the other way round. Most casinos sell you slots and throw in a lottery ticket if they remember; Lottoland started out taking bets on lotteries around the world, US PowerBall and MegaMillions, El Gordo, SuperEnalotto, and built a full casino ar
Terry Lark · 20 Jul 2026
ReviewCasushi is one of those casino sites that named itself after a pun and then got on with the job. Part cash, part sushi (I’ve stopped asking which half came first), it has changed hands behind the counter, too: Dazzletag used to run it, and these days Solaya Group Limited holds the licence. The site

ReviewUnibet is one of those casino sites that has been around long enough to be a grandfather. It has been at this since 1997 (an age, in online gambling years), and it still feels like a sportsbook that grew a very large casino rather than the other way round. Underneath, what it does differently is sca
Terry Lark · 17 Apr 2026
Review7Bet is one of those casino sites that leans on its lucky number shamelessly, and I rather like it for that. Seven has been doing the heavy lifting for luck since long before anyone built a casino round it (David Beckham’s shirt at Old Trafford included), and 7Bet hands out seven free spins on the 7
Terry Lark · 16 Apr 2026
ReviewQuinnBet is one of those casino sites that is a bookmaker first and doesn’t mind you knowing it. Open the app and the horse racing comes before anything else, with live streams, cash out and a Bet Builder; the casino, which trades as QuinnCasino, sits one tab along. That’s not a criticism (some of m
Terry Lark · 16 Apr 2026
ReviewRialto is one of those casino sites that doesn’t try to dazzle you, and (I’ll admit it took me a visit or two to notice) that’s its trick. It isn’t the loudest lobby in the Rank family, and honestly, it doesn’t pretend to be. Underneath the quiet front, though, it’s a sensible place with a very wide
Terry Lark · 15 Apr 2026
ReviewHappy Tiger is one of those casino sites that makes its own games, which hardly anyone bothers to do any more. It’s a Danish company from Aalborg (it started out in free-to-play games and has been at casual gaming since 2000), it arrived in Britain in 2021, and honestly, the lobby looks more like a
Terry Lark · 15 Apr 2026
ReviewLadbrokes is one of those casino sites that never forgets it’s a betting-shop name first. The Exclusive tab is full of games you won’t find at the casino down the road: Big Banker, Lock O’ The Irish, Bees N’ Honey, Pig Banker, Gold Fish Fortunes. Some are Diamond Games, where a “diamond spin” adds e
Terry Lark · 15 Apr 2026
ReviewBetfred is one of those casino sites with the same unfussy manner as the shop on the high street: you know where everything is, and nobody pretends a tenner is a fortune. It leans hard on jackpots (a compliment, I promise). Betfred built its own Progressive Jackpot Slots Tracker, a live top ten of t
Terry Lark · 13 Apr 2026
ReviewWinOMania is one of those casino sites with a sense of humour about its own name, and about the capital O it insists on. It’s slots-first with a live room bolted on, and it doesn’t pretend to be a sportsbook or a bingo hall (refreshing, honestly, when everyone else wants to be everything). Underneat
Terry Lark · 8 Apr 2026
ReviewFruitKings is one of those casino sites that wears its nostalgia on its sleeve and then quietly turns out to be quite modern. The name promises fruit machines (and, to be fair, Extra Juicy Megaways and Rainbow Riches Road To Even More Riches are right there on the Popular shelf), but the purple-and-
Terry Lark · 8 Apr 2026
ReviewMegaways Casino is one of those casino sites named after a slot mechanic, which is a bit like a pub calling itself Draught Bitter. It launched in 2026 under Skill On Net, the company that has been running licensed UK casinos for the past decade (and yes, it does exactly what the sign says). Undernea
Terry Lark · 25 Mar 2026
ReviewPub Casino is one of those casino sites that borrows the name of your local and hopes some of the goodwill rubs off. I’ll admit I went in expecting horse brasses and a sticky carpet (it’s a website, Terry, it hasn’t got a carpet). What you actually get is a straightforward L & L Europe casino, r
Terry Lark · 9 Mar 2026
ReviewAll British Casino is one of those casino sites that wears its flag on its sleeve and then gets on with the job. The name sounds like a souvenir tea towel (I did check for a Beefeater mascot; there isn’t one), but the company behind it, L & L Europe, has held a British casino licence since 2014,
Terry Lark · 12 Jan 2026
ReviewSpin and Win is one of those casino sites that knows what it is and doesn’t pretend otherwise. It has been running since 2012, and it still feels like the slots room of a bigger casino that decided to open its own front door. The top tabs read Slots, New Games, Slingo, Megaways and Jackpots, and tha

ReviewThe Vic is one of those casino sites that borrows its glamour from a real building, and it happens to be one I can walk to. Grosvenor Casino The Victoria sits at 150–162 Edgware Road, open 24 hours and complete with a poker room (one I admire from a safe distance, being a roulette man). The website
Terry Lark · 2 Jan 2026
ReviewGrosvenor is one of those casino sites with a real casino floor behind it, and I’ve actually stood on it. Rank, which owns it, says it runs 50 casinos, and the website is the same business with a different door. Some of its live tables are streamed from The Victoria on Edgware Road, and Dual Play ro

ReviewRegal Wins is one of those casino sites that sounds like a seaside bingo hall and plays like a proper casino. Its own About page still calls it a “brand new online casino site” (I’ll let that one go), and the look has always been a modern site with an old-fashioned, velvet-rope feel, which honestly

ReviewMagical Vegas is one of those casino sites that dresses up for a night out and then behaves itself. It has been around since 2014 (thankfully, the site’s design has changed for the better since), but honestly, sometimes the platform still looks like a night out on the Strip drawn by someone who has

Alongside the Big Bass and Eye of Horus slots you’ll find everywhere, there’s a shelf of bet365 Originals, Spin O’Reely, Solar Flash and Sizzling 7s Fortune among them, and Dual Drop, a pair of

ReviewDream Vegas is one of those casino sites that promises you the Strip and then, quite sensibly, gives you a well-organised games lobby instead. It trades on White Hat Gaming’s British licence, which has been in place since October 2018 (the name suggests showgirls and fountains; the reality is closer
Terry Lark · 4 Sep 2025
ReviewWilliam Hill Vegas is one of those casino sites that still feels like an extension of the bookmaker’s shop on the corner. Same login as the sportsbook, same cashier, same 24/7 chat. Slots, jackpots, live tables, bingo and poker all hang off one account (which is either very convenient or slightly da

ReviewGrand Ivy is one of those casino sites that looks as if it ought to have a doorman and a cloakroom ticket. It goes for the glamour of old casino chic (a little heavy on the gold, if I’m honest, but I’ve stood in worse foyers), and it runs on the platform and UK licence of White Hat Gaming, a Malta c
Terry Lark · 1 Sep 2025
ReviewCasumo is one of those casino sites that feels more like a game than a casino, which was rather the point. It built its name on that idea (and, honestly, it still makes most lobbies look like filing cabinets): you level up as you play and pick up Valuables along the way. Underneath, it’s a well-stoc

ReviewMega Riches is one of those casino sites that tells you exactly what it’s for on the sign above the door.

ReviewBetrino is one of those casino sites that changed its name and hoped you wouldn’t mind. It used to be BritainBet (the banner still says so, and your old login works), and it runs on ProgressPlay, the platform behind a long list of white-label casinos.
