Who we put side by side

We lean on library depth and live-dealer presence first. Scores below are percentage match scores against that brief — useful for scanning, not a promise of how any session will go.

TigerBet

TigerBet is a UK-facing brand with a sports-led heritage that still puts a full casino shelf beside the betting board. The live lobby is smaller than the biggest high-street names, but slots from recognisable studios sit next to table games without feeling bolted on.

Duelz

Duelz built its name on duel-style slot challenges rather than a traditional VIP lounge vibe. The catalogue still covers mainstream video slots and a live section; the twist is how titles are framed for head-to-head play, which suits people who like structured sessions over endless scrolling.

Grosvenor

Grosvenor’s online room sits behind a long UK land-based club history under the Rank Group umbrella. Expect a broad slot wall, Evolution-led live tables, and branding that mirrors the venues — useful if you want a familiar high-street casino feel without leaving the browser.

Lottoland

Lottoland is best known for lottery-style products, then layered a casino catalogue on top for UK players. Instant games and slots sit beside lottery draws; the live casino is present but secondary to the lottery-first identity that still defines the brand.

Star Sports

Star Sports grew from a betting shop network into an online book with a casino tab attached. Racing and sports remain the loudest signal; the casino side covers slots and live roulette/blackjack from established providers without pretending to outgun dedicated casino-only brands on sheer title count.

Jackpot Star

Jackpot Star sits in the Gamesys family of UK brands, so the slot library shares DNA with sister sites while keeping its own jackpot-led presentation. Progressive and daily jackpot shelves are easy to find; live casino is available, though the editorial centre of gravity stays on slots.

Affiliate disclosure. Some links on this page are sponsored. If you register through them, Spin Selection may receive a commission — at no extra cost to you. That funding keeps the site running; it does not change UKGC licensing facts or let us alter an operator’s games. Full detail on our affiliate disclosure page.


How they stack on game variety & live casino

Instead of one giant table, each block below ranks the same six brands on a single factor. Read the ones that matter to you; skip the rest.

Game range (slots, tables, specialty)

We look at how deep the lobby feels day to day: video slots, jackpots, RNG tables, and whether specialty titles are easy to find — not a raw marketing count.

  2. Jackpot Star88% match
  3. Duelz84% match
  4. TigerBet79% match
  5. Star Sports75% match
  6. Lottoland72% match

Live casino presence

Dealer-hosted roulette, blackjack, baccarat and game-show formats, plus how clearly the live lobby is organised on desktop and phone.

Studio & provider mix

Named studios such as NetEnt, Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play and Evolution tend to signal a healthier rotation. We note who shows up repeatedly in each lobby.

Mobile usability of the game lobby

How quickly you can reach slots versus live tables on a phone, and whether filters still make sense on a narrow screen.

Welcome offer type (structure only)

We record the shape of the offer — match bonus, spins, or a hybrid — without pitching amounts as “best”. Always open the operator’s own terms.

  6. Lottoland — lottery/casino hybrid shapetype noted

Customer support access

Whether live chat or email help is easy to find from the casino lobby, and whether help pages cover game-related questions in plain English.

Overall usability is folded into the percentage match scores on each card. UKGC licensing is binary for this list: every operator shown holds a UK remote licence. See licensing & safety for what that actually means.

How we compare operators

Scores reflect editorial judgement against published lobbies and public licence records. We are not the Gambling Commission, and we are not paid to invent ratings.

What goes into a match score

Each percentage is a weighted view of game variety, live casino depth, studio mix, mobile lobby clarity, support findability, and whether a welcome offer type is stated clearly. We do not score payment methods or payout times — that sits outside this site’s remit.

Affiliate relationships can exist with some brands we list. Commission never rewrites a factual licence status or invents a live table that is not there.

What we leave out on purpose

No “guaranteed wins”, no urgency clocks, no fabricated player quotes. If a detail cannot be checked from the operator site or UKGC public register language, we keep the wording generic rather than inventing a precise figure.


What to check before signing up

Confirm the site shows UK Gambling Commission licensing in the footer. Skim the welcome offer’s wagering rules — especially game weighting on slots versus live tables — before you opt in. Set deposit and session limits in the account tools on day one. If you need a break from all UK online gambling, register with GAMSTOP rather than relying on memory alone.

Places that actually help

These organisations sit outside Spin Selection. Use them for regulation facts, self-exclusion, and support.

Straight answers

Does a UKGC licence mean every game is “safe money”?

No. A remote licence means the operator must follow UK rules on fairness testing, advertising, and player protection tools. It does not remove the house edge or turn slots into a savings product. If you only remember one thing: licensed still means gambling, and gambling can still cost more than you planned.

Why does Spin Selection talk so much about live casino?

Because that is the spine of this comparison. Two brands can both list “thousands of slots” and feel completely different once you open the live lobby — table limits, game-show seats, and how many Evolution or Playtech rooms are actually live at tea time. We score that visibility on purpose so the page is not just another slot-count advert.

Can you help if my account is locked or a bonus will not unlock?

We cannot. Spin Selection does not hold player accounts and has no back-office access. Take account problems to the operator’s support team first; if you need wider help with gambling harm, GamCare and GambleAware are the right doors. Our contact form is only for site feedback about these pages.

What does GAMSTOP actually block?

GAMSTOP is the UK self-exclusion scheme that licensed online operators must check. Once you are registered and the request has taken effect, those operators should refuse you new gambling accounts and logins for the period you chose. It is stronger than deleting an app and hoping you forget the URL — details live on gamstop.co.uk.

Spin Selection (spinselection.com) is an independent comparison website funded by affiliate commissions. We are not a gambling operator, not a bank, and not a regulator. All operators listed are aimed at adults aged 18+ in Great Britain. Gambling involves risk. If it stops being fun, pause and use the tools above.
