he Casino Pick team is dedicated to finding and reviewing the very best casino sites there are for you. But what do we look at to separate the great from the good? We take a structured and robust approach to our reviews to ensure that we treat all sites fairly, but also to also ensure we are giving you a full and honest picture.

Safety first

The first thing we will look at are the licences and accreditations any casino site has. Every site operating in the UK must be licensed by the Gambling Commission, if it isn’t it is operating illegally, but more importantly it means that you will not benefit from the rigorous testing a UK site requires to ensure that it is secure and fair and is committed to responsible gambling.

At Casino Pick we are committed to your safety and security; if there’s no licence, there no Casino Pick review.

The reviews

Once we know a site is safe and fair we can begin the serious job of checking out if it’s a site worthy of our recommendation. There are lots of factors we consider, but they fall into three main areas.

Site design

You want a site to look good and to be easy to use, so we will consider the look and feel of the design. We know that tastes are different, and some people like stripped-down minimalism while others like to have every feature and flashing light on their screen. But we look further than just the aesthetics.

We’ll look at how well things fit together. Is the site easy to navigate or do you have to hunt around if you want to change games? When you need to find a link are you squinting to spot dark text on a dark background or are all the features you need obvious?

We’ll also test sites out on different screens and devices and apps, if these are available. That way you’ll know if you enjoy playing on a small phone screen as much as you do on a big tablet or laptop.

Essentially, we’ll be looking at the experience you’ll be having on the site to determine if you’ll feel like your eyes have been bleached by a garish colour scheme or a fun experience that doesn’t get in the way of your gaming.

What’s on the site

Next we’ll look at what’s actually on the site. Does the site have lots to offer or is it a bit limited? Again, different people have different preferences, but most people enjoy having a bit of variety in the games they play.

We’ll be looking at the range of games they offer and comparing it to what else is out there. Does the site focus on slots and offer little else, or does it try to offer the full casino experience where you can try table games easily, or even allow you to slip easily into a game of bingo or place a bet?

In this section we’ll also be looking at the software they are using, to get an idea not just of the casino as it is now, but also the future. Are they working with a small software house, or are they working with a major developer, so you’ll always be getting the latest and greatest games?

Finally, we’ll also look at the offers they have. Everyone loves an offer, whether it’s a deposit match or just a few free spins. We’ll check them out to see if you’ll always feel your custom is rewarded.

What’s behind the site

Finally, we’ll take a look at all the things that help make the casino work, like the payments and the support.

Casinos usually make it easy to pay money in (and we’ll check what payment types they accept) but they are sometimes a bit harder to get money from. We’ll check on the payment terms and conditions to make sure you don’t end up with your frustration at trying to get money out outweighing the joy of getting a win.

And we’ll also look at the customer support options. Almost everyone will need a bit of help at some point, but if you do can you expect to end up trying to explain things to a chatbot, or can you expect a helpful human at a time that suits you?

Always independent

We will also give a site a thorough review, so you know exactly what you will be getting from the site when you play. Also, importantly, we will also be independent.

Casino Pick is not part of any casino group, and we are not paid to write our reviews. When you read a review on Casino Pick you will know it has been written for a casino fan by a casino fan.
