Who We Are
Slot Authority is a UK-based comparison and review website covering the licensed online casino market. We have no commercial ties to any casino operator — we earn affiliate commissions only when readers choose to visit a site through our links, and that arrangement plays no part in how we score or rank any operator.
We are not a casino and we never have been. We don't accept deposits, place bets or hold a UK Gambling Commission licence. What we do is straightforward: research the licensed market, apply a consistent scoring framework and publish the results.
Why We Started
The UK online casino market is worth several billion pounds a year and, for many players, it remains genuinely difficult to navigate. Marketing claims from operators are rarely nuanced; bonus terms are frequently buried; and the distinction between a well-regulated site and a poorly run one is not always visible to someone signing up for the first time.
We built Slot Authority to close that gap. The goal is simple: give UK adults the information they need to choose a licensed, fairly run casino and to walk away if gambling stops being enjoyable.
Our Editorial Standards
Every casino reviewed on Slot Authority is assessed independently by our editorial team. Our ratings are not for sale. While we do earn commission through affiliate links when users choose to visit a casino via our website, this commercial arrangement has no influence on how we rate or rank any operator.
Our reviews cover six core pillars:
- Licensing & Regulatory Compliance — UKGC licence verification, audit history and any regulatory actions;
- Game Library Quality — breadth, provider diversity, RTP transparency and mobile compatibility;
- Bonus Transparency — wagering requirements, caps, time limits and ASA compliance;
- Payment Methods & Withdrawal Speed — UK-friendly options, verification processes and fee policies;
- Customer Support — availability, response time and escalation routes;
- Responsible Gambling Provision — deposit limits, self-exclusion, GamStop integration and proactive harm prevention.
Ratings are reviewed and updated on a rolling quarterly basis. Any casino that loses its UKGC licence or receives a significant regulatory sanction is removed from our listing immediately.
Who Writes the Reviews
Our reviews are written and edited by a small in-house team based in the UK. The team includes people with backgrounds in consumer journalism, digital publishing and financial services compliance. We don't take sponsored placements, we don't accept free bets or credits from operators and we don't let affiliate income influence what goes on the page.
Every review is updated at minimum once per quarter. If a casino changes its terms significantly — or receives a regulatory action from the UKGC — we update or remove the listing without delay.

Affiliate Disclosure
Slot Authority is an affiliate comparison website. We may receive a commission from casino operators when a user registers or deposits following a click from our site. This financial arrangement helps fund the running of this website, but it does not affect our editorial judgements, scores or rankings. Our reviews are written and rated independently of any commercial consideration.
Not every casino we review is included in our listing. If a casino fails to meet our standards, we do not list it — regardless of whether we have an affiliate agreement with that operator.
