One game, one licensing regime
About Best Online Roulette: Our Method, Sources and Standards
This site covers one game at casinos licensed to accept players in Great Britain. Not casinos in general, and not slots. That narrow scope is the whole reason it can rank a roulette floor on something more useful than the size of a welcome bonus.
What this site covers
Roulette at Gambling-Commission-licensed operators: the live dealer floor, the wheel variants on offer, the stake ranges, and the mathematics underneath all of it. Every casino listed holds a remote casino licence, which is the only licence that legally permits play from Great Britain, and licensing is verified against the Gambling Commission public register rather than copied from another comparison page.
Alongside the comparisons there are two tools that do something a text page cannot. The roulette wheel is a free simulator with no wagering, built for learning the layout and watching the numbers behave over a few hundred spins. The betting system simulator runs progressions such as the Martingale against a fair wheel and charts what actually happens to them, which is more persuasive than another paragraph asserting that systems do not work.
How the assessments are made
The assessments run on 6 weighted criteria, fixed before any casino is scored, with the live roulette floor carrying the largest share at 30%. The full weighting is published on how we rate so that a placement you disagree with can be traced to a specific criterion instead of to an opinion.
Where a figure is not yet verified, it does not appear. Licence numbers are the clearest example: they are absent from the operator table until each has been read directly off the register, because a stale licence number copied from a competitor is worse than no number at all. The same rule applies to table counts and withdrawal times.
Editorial independence and how the site is funded
Links to casinos on this site route through our own outbound path. Where a commercial arrangement exists with an operator, it pays for the site's running costs. It does not buy a position in the table. The ranking is produced by the measured part of the published weighting alone, and that part is printed on the table as two columns, so the order can be checked against the data rather than accepted on the strength of this paragraph.
That distinction is easy to claim and hard to verify from the outside, so here is the checkable part: the weighting is public, the criteria are specific enough to argue with, and a casino that loses its licence comes off the table rather than dropping to the bottom of it.
Pages here carry no bylines. There is no invented editor, no stock portrait and no claimed decade of industry experience. The method is published instead, which is the part that can actually be checked.
Corrections
Catalogues change, operators leave the British market and stake limits move without notice. If something here is out of date or wrong, it is worth telling us, and corrections are made to the page rather than quietly to the ranking. Gambling coverage ages faster than most subjects, and a comparison page nobody maintains becomes actively misleading within about a year.
