New online casinos in the UK
8 Of the 150 casinos on our list do not block United Kingdom
Great Britain licenses online casinos. Any casino that takes British players needs a UK Gambling Commission licence and must take part in GAMSTOP, the national self-exclusion scheme.
This page is for players in Great Britain. Northern Ireland has its own gambling law, and players in Ireland should use our main ranking, since a UK licence does not cover an Irish account.

Great Britain licenses online casinos locally
A casino needs a UK Gambling Commission licence to serve players in Great Britain. A site without one is outside GAMSTOP, outside the UK complaints system and outside the rules on this page.

Short answer
Can players in the UK use new online casinos?
Yes, at casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. They must verify your age before you play, check GAMSTOP, refuse credit cards and follow the UK limits on slot stakes and bonus wagering. Sites that take British players without a UK licence do none of that.

In depth
What the UK rules give you
- Age and identity checks before you play.
- GAMSTOP: one registration excludes you from every UK-licensed site.
- No credit cards for gambling, since 14 April 2020.
- Limits on slot stakes and on bonus wagering, set by the Gambling Commission.
- A complaints route through an independent dispute service named in the casino's terms.
Choosing a new UK casino
Check the casino's licence on the Gambling Commission's public register, then compare payment methods and bonus terms. A new brand has no payout history, so make a small first deposit and withdraw once before you play more.
For readers in Ireland
A UK licence covers players in Great Britain only. If you live in Ireland, use our main ranking of new casinos, which lists casinos that accept Irish players and names the licence each one holds.
Questions
New UK casinos: questions
Are new UK online casinos regulated?
Yes, when they hold a UK Gambling Commission licence. Search the casino's name or domain on the Commission's public register.
Can I use a credit card at a UK casino?
No. Gambling with a credit card has been banned in Great Britain since 14 April 2020.
What is GAMSTOP?
The national self-exclusion scheme. Registering blocks you from every UK-licensed gambling site for the period you choose.
Does a UK licence cover players in Ireland?
No. It covers Great Britain. Players in Ireland should check which licence a casino holds for them.
Where can I get help in the UK?
The National Gambling Helpline, run by GamCare, is free and open at any time.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
How we review new casinosSet limits before the welcome offer
Bonus wagering keeps you playing longer. Set a deposit limit and a time limit in the account before you claim.
Set your limitsFree, confidential support
If playing stops being fun, talk to someone. Gambling Therapy offers free support in many languages.
