About

What Reel Opinion Book is

Reel Opinion Book exists to help UK adults compare licensed online casino operators before they open an account — with a particular eye on how each brand behaves on a phone. We write the comparisons ourselves, score operators against the same eight criteria every time, and publish the results here at reelopinionbook.com.

We are not a casino, not a payment processor, and not part of any gambling group. We do not run games, hold player money, or verify accounts. If you need help with a deposit, withdrawal or bonus dispute, you will need to contact the operator directly — we cannot intervene on your behalf.

The site is funded through affiliate partnerships. When you follow an outbound link and register with an operator, we may receive a commission. That income keeps the research running, but it does not let brands buy a better score or edit our copy. We say this plainly on every page because transparency matters more than a tidy footer disclaimer nobody reads.

Our editorial focus right now is mobile and app experience: native apps, responsive mobile sites, and how easy it is to find safer gambling tools on a small screen. Other comparison sites weight bonuses or game counts more heavily — we chose mobile because that is where most UK players actually spend their time.

How ratings work

Each operator receives a score out of ten derived from eight criteria: UKGC licence, game range, live casino, mobile app, game studios, welcome offer type, customer support, and usability. We visit operator sites on both desktop and mobile, check app store listings where they exist, and note which game providers appear in the lobby. Scores reflect our assessment at the time of the last update (2026-07-01) and can change when an operator redesigns its app or shifts its game catalogue.

Independence statement

Reel Opinion Book is not owned by, employed by, or officially endorsed by any operator we list. We are not the UK Gambling Commission or any other regulator. Our role is comparison and education — nothing more.
