The rubric
How we rate
A trip score is a weighted average of five marks out of ten. It is not a separate vibe, and it cannot be nudged because a brand pays more. Last updated 22 October 2026.
| Mark | Weight | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome | 25% | Real value after wagering and caps. Cash spin winnings beat bonus cash. Mystery reels with conversion caps lose marks. |
| Games | 25% | Range, named studios, whether live tables are a real pit or a token row. |
| Payout | 20% | Stated withdrawal speed, methods, reversal windows, fees. |
| Trust | 20% | Licence on the register, clearer terms, safer-gambling tools, operator record. |
| Mobile | 10% | How the site behaves on a phone, and whether help is more than a shared web form. |
Ordering
List pages sort by trip score, highest first, then name. Unscored licensed sites sit in their own band. Closed brands are stamped shut at the bottom and their /go/ paths 404.
Who gets a page at all
Only casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. The operator and licence number appear on each live brand listing. Sites without a UK licence do not appear — not as a tip, not as a warning, not as “alternatives if you are self-excluded”.
