"I was switching between dodgy comparison sites before finding Casino Metric. The ranking is actually transparent — you can see exactly why each casino scored what it did. Ended up going with Admiral Casino and haven't looked back. Good to know they're all properly UKGC licensed."

No. Casino Metric is a comparison and information website only. We do not host, operate or facilitate any gambling. All gameplay takes place on the licensed operator's own platform.
We evaluate each casino across five criteria: Licence & Safety, Bonuses & Fairness, Game Selection, Customer Support and Player Trust. Only operators with consistently positive scores are included.
The score (out of 10) is a weighted average across our five criteria. Licence & Safety carries the most weight, as player protection is our top priority.
We earn affiliate commission from some casinos when a reader clicks through and registers. This has no impact on our scores or rankings.
We review and update our rankings at least monthly. Major regulatory changes may trigger an immediate re-evaluation.
