Minimum deposit casinos for UK players 2026

Our shortlist is ordered by the published Trust Index method: commercial placement is labelled and never changes a score. The 7 rules below say what we check.

• • We check the operator’s licence against the regulator’s public register where one exists. A valid licence is required to be listed.
• • We record the markets the operator says it accepts; we do not independently verify every country restriction.
• • Welcome-offer terms come from published sources. Terms can change, so confirm the current offer before you deposit.
• • Hand-vetted brands receive the full eight-factor Trust Index. Auto-published brands carry a provisional capped rating based on licence verification and published offer terms.
• • Featured partners, when present, appear first and are labelled. Everything below them is ordered by the Trust Index (or the provisional capped rating).
• • We do not publish an RTP percentage, exact game count or exact payout window unless it has been independently verified for that brand.
• • Affiliate commission is not an input to a Trust Index score or ranking position.

Full weights live on how we rate. Independence, corrections and sourcing sit in our editorial guidelines.
