How We Rate Casinos
At McCorrys Agri Supplies, we've developed a comprehensive methodology to evaluate non-Gamstop casinos across multiple criteria. Our ratings are designed to help UK players make informed decisions when choosing where to play. Each casino is assessed independently by our expert team, and ratings are updated regularly to reflect changes in service quality and offerings.
1. Licensing & Regulation
We prioritise casinos with legitimate licensing from recognised jurisdictions. We evaluate:
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) – The gold standard for European operators
- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) – Where applicable for GB-licensed sites
- Curaçao eGaming – Legitimate but lower regulatory oversight
- Local GB licenses – Independent operators with proper registration
- Transparency of licensing information and terms
- Compliance history and regulatory sanctions
Licensing is our most heavily weighted criterion as it directly impacts player protection and fund security.
2. Game Selection & Software Providers
We assess the breadth and quality of gaming options:
- Number and variety of slot games available
- Live casino offerings (live blackjack, roulette, baccarat, etc.)
- Table games selection (poker, craps, game shows)
- Quality of software providers (NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, etc.)
- Exclusivity of games and branded titles
- Frequency of new game releases
- Game performance and fairness (RTP percentages)
3. Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements
We examine promotional offerings with a critical eye:
- Clarity and accessibility of terms and conditions
- Wagering requirements and rollover multiples
- Maximum cashout restrictions on bonuses
- Welcome package value and structure
- Ongoing promotional fairness
- Time limits on bonus redemption
- Games contribution percentages to wagering
- Transparency regarding bonus restrictions
We flag unusually restrictive or misleading bonus terms to protect players from unfavourable offers.
