Independent casino comparison
Chipway House checks each operator against the Gambling Commission's public register before it ever reaches our list, then scores what's left on licensing, game range and how the site actually behaves once you're signed in.
This week's top pick
Chipway House is a publisher, not a casino. We don't take bets, hold player funds or run any gambling product. Every operator on this page is a separate, independently licensed company — we simply research and rank them.
If you sign up with an operator through a link on this page, that operator may pay us a referral fee. It costs you nothing extra, and it never buys a higher position — see our affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
Before an operator is even considered for this list, we confirm its authorisation on the Gambling Commission's public register. Anything we can't verify there doesn't get published as fact — see how we rate.
The ranking
Ranked by our editorial score, built from licensing standing, game range and site experience. Full reasoning for each score is in our methodology.
Affiliate disclosure: the buttons below are commercial links. We may earn a referral fee if you open an account through one of them, at no cost to you. This never changes our ranking — read the full disclosure.
One of the longest-running high-street names now trading online, with a remote casino licence held continuously since 2014 and a genuinely wide games catalogue spanning slots, live tables and jackpots.
A Malta-headquartered operator running casino, sportsbook, poker and bingo under one login since 2017's GB licence, which suits players who like everything in one account rather than juggling separate sites.
A casino-first brand from the same licensed group behind Voodoo Dreams and Duelz, leaning into a straightforward slots-and-tables theme rather than trying to be a full sportsbook too.
An independent British bookmaker with racing roots stretching back to 2010's licence, whose casino product sits alongside a betting operation that's clearly still the main event.
The newest name here, holding its remote casino authorisation only since mid-2025. There's simply less track record to judge than with the other four, so it lands at the bottom of this list for now.
Licensing context
Great Britain treats online casino games, betting and bingo as regulated activities. Operators need an active remote operating licence from the Gambling Commission before they can legally take a bet or spin from a GB customer.
For each operator: the legal licensee behind the brand, its Gambling Commission account number, the licensed activities on record, and that the domain we link to matches the one registered against that licence.
A licence confirms an operator is authorised to trade in Great Britain and answers to the regulator. It isn't a guarantee of any particular outcome, bonus or level of service, and it's not an endorsement from us or from the Commission itself.
Registers move — accounts are updated, activities lapse, brands change hands. We re-check the public register regularly and will pull an operator from this page the moment its GB authorisation for casino products stops being current.
Play within your limits

Free self-exclusion from GB-licensed online gambling sites, in one place, for a period you choose.
A free helpline and webchat for anyone worried about their own or someone else's gambling.
Independent information, advice and treatment referrals funded by donations from the gambling industry.
Questions we're asked
No. We're a publisher that compares casinos licensed by the Gambling Commission. You can't deposit, play or withdraw anything on this site — every game happens on the operator's own site once you follow a link from here.
We start from operators with a current casino authorisation on the Gambling Commission's public register, confirm the legal licensee and destination domain match, and only then move on to scoring what's left. The full process is on our how we rate page.
Sometimes, yes. Some of the buttons on this page are affiliate links, and an operator may pay us a fee if you open an account through one. It doesn't cost you anything extra, and it doesn't influence where an operator sits in our ranking — see our affiliate disclosure.
In Great Britain, yes, provided the operator holds a current remote casino licence from the Gambling Commission. Northern Ireland has separate arrangements, which is outside the scope of this site.
Stop and reach out for free, independent support straight away. GAMSTOP can block your access to GB-licensed sites, and GamCare and GambleAware both offer confidential advice. Our safer gambling page lists all three with direct links.
Licensing details, product ranges and our own review notes all move over time, so we periodically re-check the public register and update scores. If something turns out to be wrong, we correct it — see our corrections page.
