Despite the slew of new regulations introduced by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), the embattled iGaming sector remains fiercely competitive. There are literally thousands of operators that still vie for the attentions of players. Unsurprisingly, such a crowded marketplace can be pretty confusing. Matters are not made any easier by the scores of disreputable online casinos that somehow continue to besmirch the industry. So presumably, you’ll want to avoid these at all costs. Read on as we review ten well-established online casinos. Each one is licensed by the UKGC.

Casumo

Casumo has been in operation since 2012 and has forged a considerable reputation since then. Thanks to partnerships with a raft of big-name developers such as Microgaming, IGT and Netent, this award-winning gaming platform is able to offer hundreds of online slots, traditional table games and live dealer titles. Casumo’s elaborate gamification system was ground-breaking for the time and is still available to this day. Players are well supported with 24/7 customer support that comprises multiple options of communication such as live chat.

Play OJO

Play OJO has received positive reviews from most of the major industry experts including Ask Gamblers and Casino Meister. Player feedback is generally very good too. In addition to an expansive range of casino games, Play OJO offers a comprehensive customer help suite that includes a detailed FAQ section as well as email and live-chat support. Although it’s a relative newcomer having launched in 2017, this particular iGaming company is well respected by both rivals and punters.

Betsson

Betsson has been in the game since 2002 and operates in multiple gambling verticals including sportsbook and of course casino gaming. Its massive range of online slots (one of the largest in the industry) has been sourced from the back-catalogues of big-name developers such as Microgaming, Netent, NYX Interactive and Play’n GO. These are complemented with the usual assortment of classic table games and a live dealer platform. Known for swift withdrawal times, a high level of customer support and a cutting-edge mobile website, Betsson is another trusted website that offers safe and secure play.

Sports Bet IO

Sports Bet IO is operated by TGP Europe and is a white label platform that’s powered by Bet Vision. Although primarily a sports book operation, its casino offering is attracting rave reviews from industry insiders. Like Betsson, Sports Bet IO can boast fast withdrawal times (24 hours according to the website) but can also accommodate crypto currency deposits. As is typical of a top-draw gambling platform, there’s an excellent help section consisting of a detailed FAQ suite as well as 24/7 live chat support.

Casino Euro

Casino Euro is populated by close to two thousand games (yes you read that right) in the categories of slots, progressive jackpots, live casino, bingo and video poker. This is made possible by the numerous partnerships the company enjoys with top developers like IGT, Thunderkick, Microgaming and Yggdrasil. In the eighteen years since its launch, Casino Euro has become an industry mainstay and enjoys a significant online presence. But you don’t get this far by offering sub-standard support to your customers. Querying gamers have access to an exhaustive FAQ section that offers solutions to all manner of questions relating to accounts, registration/login, payments, technical matters and promotions. Live chat, email and a call-back option are also thrown in for good measure.

Cashmio

Declaring itself to be the ‘world’s happiest’ casino’, Cashmio features an outstanding range of games, in particular online slots, of which there are more than 1500. Launched back in 2015, this operator has managed to create deals with a massive range of more than fifty developers. This speaks volumes about the kind of operation that lurks behind the colour game thumbnails and light-hearted theme. Operated by MT SecureTrade Limited, Cashmio is another online casino gaming heavyweight that’s well thought of in industry circles.

Wishmaker Casino

Wishmaker Casino has garnered excellent player reviews and is able to match many of the other operators listed here in terms of game variety. Although we don’t quite agree with the company’s affirmation that it’s ‘the place where dreams come true’, there’s no doubting the quality of its iGaming package. Serving numerous big-name slots and traditional games from Microgmaming, Netent, Bally and SG Gaming, Wishmaker has become a trusted operator in its own right.

BGO Casino

BGO Casino came to prominence in the UK with a series of TV adverts featuring the late great Verne Troyer as their ambassador and they boast an impressive range of online slots, despite a slightly underwhelming collection of standard table games. Nevertheless, BGO does include a live dealer suite as well as a pleasing number of competitive promotions for both new and existing players. High-rollers are looked after as well with one of the more rewarding VIP programmes that you’re likely to come across. And as you might expect from an operator that’s become this prominent, customer support is operated on a 24/7 basis.

21 Casino

21 Casino was unveiled back in 2015 and provides players an astounding variety of games from more than 70 developers. To support its dazzling collection of slots and live dealer titles, 21 Casino offers generous promotions and incentives to keep things interesting. Additionally, customer support is of the highest order with multiple communication options available such as live chat and email. Players are able to get in touch 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

888 Casino

This is one of the biggest most successful iGaming brands in the business. Boasting a ‘no deposit’ welcome bonus and an enormous catalogue of slots and table games, it’s easy to see why 888 is such a hit with punters. The company has been in operation since 1997 and is therefore one of the most well-established casinos mentioned in this article. Further plus points must go to its cutting edge proprietary software which powers hundreds upon hundreds of white label casinos.

And that concludes our profile of ten trend-setters in the online casino sector. You’ll be hard pushed to find many operators that are able to offer better overall gaming packages.
