We compare casinos. We don't run one.

What we actually do

Reel Cross Checkis a comparison and review resource. We hold no gambling licence ourselves because we don't need one — we don't take deposits, run games, or process any money on behalf of a player. Everything on this site is written by looking at operators from the outside, the same way any visitor would.

We picked six UK-facing operators for this comparison, from long-running venue-linked brands to smaller, newer names, and tested each one on the same eight points: licensing, game range, live casino, mobile and app quality, the studios behind the games, welcome offer type, support, and overall usability.

How the site makes money

Some links on this site carry an affiliate tag. If you sign up with an operator through one of those links, that operator may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and it's the only way this kind of independent comparison stays free to publish. Full detail is on our affiliate disclosure page.

Commission doesn't buy a better score. An operator that pays us nothing and one that pays us on every sign-up are judged against the same eight criteria, and we'd rather lose a partnership than publish a ranking we don't believe.

Who this is and isn't for

This site is for adults in the UK who are already considering a licensed casino and want an honest second opinion before choosing one. It is not aimed at anyone who has self-excluded, and it is not a way to make money — if gambling has stopped feeling like entertainment, our responsible gambling page is a better place to start than any comparison table.
