About Casino Warnings: UK Casinos Against the Record
Rachel Doughty
Updated
Most casino sites cover the positives of casinos, but we cover the negatives. We show what regulatory authorities have recorded. We connect UK casinos to their licensing companies. We show the actions the Gambling Commission has taken against those companies, and we cover the legal agreements.
- 10UK-licensed casinos reviewed
- 75Commission fines and settlements tracked since March 2021
- 7rankings, each for one thing players care about
- 16guides to licences, complaints and payouts
Why Casino Warnings exists
The Gambling Commission does disclose a lot of information. We find the information relevant to players. Many brands do not operate under the same name as the company that holds their gambling licenses. Announcements about fines are usually made under the company and not the brand.
Because of this, a player can fail to identify relevant information. One example is a company’s £2 million settlement. We connect this information to players. Every review on our site connects the company and its action. We also give a link to the Gambling Commission where the information is publicly disclosed.
We also cover what players can expect when they make a withdrawal. We talk about charges and bonus rules. We explain what players should do if they do not receive their winnings. Fines are the central part of our coverage.
Who runs Casino Warnings
We are an independent publisher based in Bristol, U.K. We are not owned by or endorsed by any casino. We do not take bets or operate casinos. All of the information on our site is published to educate and protect players.
Only casinos authorized by the Gambling Commission to provide services to residents of Great Britain are listed. We cross check all casinos against the Commission’s register prior to listing and review that information when a page is edited.
How Casino Warnings is paid for
You will find some links to casinos on this site that use an affiliate program. If you open a casino account using our affiliate link, the casino may give us a commission. This costs you nothing and helps us to pay the expenses for running this site.
Commission will never alter a casino’s record or terms. A casino with a fine on their license will be shown with that fine, even if the casino or the licensee has paid us. For full information on this, see our affiliate disclosure.
