How We Rate Casinos

Our reviews at ironedmaiden.co.uk follow a transparent, weighted methodology designed for UK players. Each casino is scored from 1 to 10 across the categories below, listed in descending order of importance.

Licensing & Regulation (MGA, UKGC, Curaçao, local GB license)

We first verify that a casino holds a valid licence from a reputable regulator. For players in Great Britain, a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence is the gold standard. We also consider Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and Curaçao licences, but locally approved GB-licensed sites are treated as the safest option. Casinos without proper licensing or with poor regulatory records are heavily penalised.

Game Selection & Software Providers (slots, live casino, table games)

We assess the variety, quality, and fairness of slots, live casino games, and table games. We also check the software providers behind the lobby, including NetEnt, Playtech, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, and others. A strong casino should offer hundreds of fair, mobile-friendly titles and a reliable live dealer platform.

Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements (T&Cs, rollover, max cashout)

Bonuses are only as good as their terms
