Specific to the online casino UK market, this page is one of the more popular ones here on Yes No Casino. We have spruced this page up a little bit, making it a bit tidier, more comprehensive, sexier and more of a one stop shop for UK visitors. As you have come to expect from us we do not tolerate rogue operators and you can be assured that we only be list the best online casino UK sites.
There are a good number of casinos and bookies etc who accept UK players but which we have not specifically listed on this page. These can be found elsewhere on our website but we felt that we should try and make this page as UK centric as possible whilst also avoiding making it too cluttered and confusing. All of the online establishments you will find on this page are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
There are one or two online casinos who still offer play to UK residents but who do not have a UK Gambling Commission license (they are licensed in Gibraltar, Alderney, Isle of Man etc though some online casinos only holding a Costa Rica or Curacao license will even accept play from UK citizens) but we will not be listing these here as we see the UKGC as being the one true legislator for UK players. We would really advise UK players not to play at online casinos not holding a UKGC license as the laws are getting tougher and tougher by the day, the ASA (Advertising Standards Agency) are getting involved, the Labour Party are campaining hard against all forms of gambling and the government itself are getting involved. Shame none of these parties actually seem to care about stopping rogue operators though.
Please make sure to read down to the end of this online casino UK page where you can find some useful contact information regarding complaints and gambling addiction help centers.

Best United Kingdom Online Casinos – Our View
We are working very hard to find you the best online casino in UK. UK casinos come in very many different shapes and forms. There are the traditional online bookmakers although since a lot of these moved their base of operations to Israel, they are not no be trusted and will not feature on our site. Then there are the modern day online casino UK which range very much in standard and offering. A huge number of UKGC licensed casinos have been blacklisted by us, most prominently the awful Progress Play and Nektan white label UK casinos. These are truly awful in every single aspect. But there are thankfully a good number of trustworthy UK casino sites on various platforms with UK casino games from slot providers ranging from Playtech, NetEnt, Microgaming, Blueprint Gaming, IGT and many many more. More recently UK casino slots gaming licenses have been given to a few more slot makers like Yggdrasil Gaming and iSoftbet.
UK Casino Bonus
Again we are trawling through the mire to find a list of the best casino bonus UK for you. Casinos offering impossible to beat bonus terms will not make it onto our UK casino bonus list. Most of the bonuses listed here will be cashable and ridiculously high wagering requirements will not be tolerated.
There are also for example a good number of UK Playtech casinos who have nasty hidden bonus terms where you cannot win more than 3x your bonus value when playing with a bonus, even if you do manage to beat the wagering requirements.
If you work out the RTP of UK casino slots over millions of spins as well as the variance and take a group of 1000 players then it is absolutely impossible for these casinos to lose money by giving these bonus terms. Even at an RTP of 100% it is not possible for the casino to lose. These UK online casinos are of course also blacklisted by us.
Update 2/11/2017:
The UKGC is clamping down on the offering of bonuses to players and the methods in which they are promoted. Yes No casino stands behind this change of policy 100%. As you are aware we have always aimed to give you the best and most trustworthy information regarding UK online casinos, and have highlighted many rogue bonus offerings in the past. As such we have removed most of our bonus information and refer you to the individual casino sites for their up to date promotions.
Live Casino UK
UK casino players are spoiled for choice when it comes to finding a good live online casino. In fact virtually every UK casino listed on this page has live dealer games available. There are different providers of live casino games and these include Playtech, NetEnt, Microgaming, Novomatic, Evolution Gaming, Extreme Live Gaming and many more. There is one particular live online casino UK which stands out however and that is Codeta who are the number one in this field.
