How To
Use This Guide

03 / Getting Started

New here? Four things to do before you create an account anywhere.

01

Check The Licence

Search the brand on the UK Gambling Commission public register before anything else. We link straight to it from every review on this site.

02

Compare The Numbers

Weigh the editorial score, not just the welcome offer. Our Rankings section breaks each brand down by the criteria that actually affect your experience.

03

Read The Fine Print

Withdrawal timeframes, wagering requirements, and support hours matter more once you've deposited than they do on the landing page.

04

Set Limits First

Turn on deposit limits and time-outs before you turn on the games. Every UK-licensed brand offers them, including GamStop self-exclusion.

FAQ

04 / Questions
Q. Is AstroCasinoReview a casino brand itself? +
A. No. We are an independent editorial resource. We do not accept wagers, hold deposits, or process withdrawals. We review brands that are operated and licensed separately from us.
Q. Are the brands featured here licensed in the UK? +
A. Yes. Every brand we feature must hold a current UK Gambling Commission entry. We link directly to the public register for each brand so you can verify it yourself before creating an account.
Q. How does AstroCasinoReview make money? +
A. We may earn referral commission when a visitor follows a link from this resource and later registers with a brand. This never changes the terms offered to you and never influences our editorial ratings.
Q. What is GamStop, and how do I use it? +
A. GamStop is a free national self-exclusion scheme covering all UK-licensed operators. Once registered at gamstop.co.uk, you'll be blocked from creating new accounts with licensed brands for the period you choose.
Q. Where can I get free support if I'm worried about my habits? +
A. BeGambleAware and Gamblers Anonymous UK both offer free, confidential support. You can also call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 802 0133, free and available 24/7.

Methodology

05 / How We Score

Every brand that appears on AstroCasinoReview is checked against the UK Gambling Commission public register before it is even eligible for review. If we can't verify a licence, the brand doesn't get a page. That single rule cuts more brands than any other step in our process.

From there, our editorial team scores five weighted criteria: licensing and safety, user experience, customer support responsiveness, payment flexibility, and how the account holds up on a phone rather than a desktop demo. Each criterion is scored independently and averaged into the overall figure you see scrawled next to every brand.

We also check how clearly deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion — including GamStop — are surfaced inside the account area, not just buried in a terms page. Affiliate relationships never influence a score; see our Disclosure for the full detail on how we're funded.

Gambling should be entertaining, not a way to make money. Set a budget before you start and stick to it. Responsible Gaming → National Helpline: 0808 802 0133
