About us

Independent Gibraltar casino reviews

An independent publisher based in Gibraltar, comparing Gibraltar-licensed online casinos for UK players.

Who we are

Gibraltar Casinos is an independent review and comparison site built around one clear niche: online casinos that serve UK players from a Gibraltar licence. Our editorial team is based in Gibraltar and works directly with the operators, regulators and player-advocacy groups that shape this market.

We do not run casino games ourselves and we do not accept payment for favourable placement. Our revenue comes from affiliate links, which are marked clearly and never influence a rating. If a brand is poor, we say so - even if it pays us on other channels.

Every review is fact-checked by a second editor, every payout claim is tested with real money, and every licence number is cross-referenced against the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner and UK Gambling Commission public registers.

How we rate casinos

Each casino is scored out of 10 across five weighted criteria. The final rating is the weighted average, rounded to one decimal place.

30%

Licensing & Safety

We verify the operator holds a valid Gibraltar licence plus UKGC registration. Dual-licensed brands score highest.

25%

Payout Speed

We time real withdrawals from request to cleared funds. Faster, reliable payouts earn a higher score.

20%

Bonus Fairness

Wagering requirements, game weighting and cashout caps are modelled so a headline bonus can be compared against real value.

15%

Support Quality

Live chat, email and phone response times are tested. A 24/7 human live-chat team earns top marks.

10%

Game Selection

We count slots, table games and live-dealer variety, but only from studios certified for fair randomness.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling should stay entertainment and never a way to make money. Set limits before you play, never chase a loss, and use cool-off or self-exclusion tools whenever gambling stops feeling like a choice.

FAQ

About Gibraltar Casinos

Who owns Gibraltar Casinos?

Gibraltar Casinos is published by an independent editorial team based in Gibraltar. We are not owned by any casino operator, which lets us keep scores honest and comparisons independent.

How do you rate Gibraltar online casinos?

Each casino is scored on licence strength, payout speed, bonus fairness, support quality, and game selection. We weight licence and payout speed highest because those are the factors that most affect whether a player actually gets paid.

Do you take money from casinos for reviews?

We do have affiliate partnerships, but they do not influence ratings or placement. A casino cannot buy a higher score, and we label every affiliate link clearly.

How do you test payout speeds?

We open real accounts, deposit, play through the required volume, and request withdrawals. We record the time from withdrawal request to cleared funds in our bank or wallet.

Why do you focus on Gibraltar-licensed casinos?

A Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner licence combined with UK Gambling Commission registration is one of the strongest regulatory combinations available. It means strict player protections, fair games, and a clear dispute path.
