We compare casinos — we do not run one

Gaming Margins UK exists to answer a narrow question: among UKGC-licensed casinos, which sites make the fewest demands on someone opening an account for the first time? We are not owned by any of the brands we list, we do not hold a gambling licence, and we never touch player funds or game outcomes.

The site is funded through affiliate partnerships. When you follow a tracked link and register at an operator, we may earn a commission. That income pays for the research time behind our scorecards and head-to-head write-ups. It does not buy placement — every operator here holds a current UK licence, and we label affiliate links plainly.

Our editorial focus sits on newcomer experience: how clear sign-up is, whether mobile layouts surface safer-gambling tools early, and how bonus terms read to someone without industry jargon. We deliberately avoid ranking payment speeds or withdrawal timelines; those sit outside what a comparison site can verify fairly.

If you need help with an operator account, a pending withdrawal or a game dispute, contact that operator's support team directly. We cannot access player accounts or intervene on your behalf.
