UK casino comparison
The Wager Page assesses how UKGC-licensed casinos handle deposits, withdrawals and payment-method choice. Grades weight cashier performance alongside licensing, game access and support hours — not promotional headline value.

Common questions
Search the operator name on the UK Gambling Commission public register. The licence number in the site footer should match the register entry. All five operators listed here hold active remote casino licences for Great Britain as of June 2026.
GamStop is a free UK self-exclusion scheme covering all UKGC-licensed operators. Registration blocks access across participating sites for six months, one year or five years. It suits players who want a single step rather than contacting each operator individually. GamStop does not cover unlicensed offshore sites.
PayPal acts as an e-wallet intermediary: once the operator releases funds, they typically reach your PayPal balance within hours. Debit card withdrawals must pass through card-scheme settlement cycles, adding one to three working days after operator approval. Paddy Power and LeoVegas publish separate timelines for each route in their help centres.
No. Since April 2020, UKGC rules prohibit credit-card deposits at licensed remote gambling sites. Debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and bank transfer remain permitted methods at the operators reviewed here, though MrQ limits funding to debit and PayPal without Apple Pay or bank transfer.
