Live Casino Online is a consumer review resource for the UK live-dealer market. This page explains exactly how we test operators and reach the grades you see across the site.
What we do
We review and rank live-dealer casinos available to players in Great Britain. Our coverage spans operator reviews, live game guides for roulette, blackjack and baccarat, and explainers on the studios that build the tables. The aim is simple: give readers an honest, tested view of where to play, so the decision rests on performance rather than advertising.
How we test operators
Every review follows the same routine:
- Real accounts. We register, verify our identity, and deposit our own money at each operator. No review is written from the outside.
- Live play. We sit at live roulette, blackjack, baccarat and game-show tables across peak and off-peak hours, judging stream quality, dealer professionalism and table availability.
- Withdrawal timing. We request a withdrawal and time it from request to cleared funds, then report what we actually experienced.
- Mobile testing. We repeat the core checks on the operator's app over both Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Licence and safer-gambling checks. We confirm the Gambling Commission licence on the public register and verify that deposit limits, time-outs and GAMSTOP self-exclusion are present and easy to find.
How we score
Editorial scores are built from those tests, weighted toward the things that affect real play: stream stability, table depth, withdrawal speed, stakes and mobile quality. Scores are reviewed as operators change their studios, limits or apps, so the ranking reflects the current state of each site rather than a one-off snapshot.
Our independence
Operators cannot pay for a place in our ranking or influence their grade. We describe what we find, including the drawbacks, and we drop any operator whose UK licence lapses. Where we link to an operator, the link goes to that operator's own website so you can act on a review directly.
Play responsibly
Gambling should be treated as entertainment with a cost, never as a way to make money. Set a budget before you play, use the deposit and time limits every licensed site provides, and stop when you reach your limit. Free, confidential support is available through BeGambleAware, GamCare and the National Gambling Helpline, and GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from every licensed British operator at once.
