FAQ | Best Online Slots UK
Common questions about UK slot sites and our site
About this site
What is Best Online Slots UK?
We are an information and comparison site for UK players. We list and compare slot sites that hold a UK Gambling Commission licence, including welcome bonuses, game ranges and payment options. We do not run any gambling ourselves.
Do you accept bets or hold player funds?
No. We only provide information and links. All gambling takes place on the operators’ websites. We do not accept wagers, process deposits or hold any customer funds.
How do you make money?
We may receive a commission when you click our links and sign up or deposit with an operator. This does not change the offer you get. Our editorial comparisons are based on licence, bonuses, games and payouts-not on who pays us the most.
Slot sites and licensing
Are all the slot sites you list licensed?
Yes. We only include operators that hold a valid UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. You can check the licence number in the footer of each operator’s website.
How do you rank or order slot sites?
We consider welcome offers, game variety (including slots from top providers), withdrawal speed, bonus terms and player feedback. Order can also reflect commercial partnerships, but we only feature UKGC-licensed sites that meet our editorial bar.
Can I play slots for free?
Many UK slot sites offer a demo or free-play mode where you use play credits instead of real money. Check each site’s game lobby; not every game may be available in demo mode. You usually need to register to access free play on some sites.
Bonuses and offers
Are the bonus offers up to date?
We update our comparison tables when we become aware of changes. Operators can change offers at any time, so always check the current terms on the operator’s website before you sign up or deposit.
What does “wagering” or “playthrough” mean?
Wagering (or playthrough) is how many times you must bet the bonus (and sometimes the deposit) before you can withdraw winnings from the bonus. For example, 35x bonus means you must wager 35 times the bonus amount. Terms also often include time limits and max bet rules.
Safety and responsibility
How old do I need to be to use this site or gamble?
You must be 18 or over to use our site and to gamble in the UK. Gambling by under-18s is illegal. Operators will verify your age when you register.
Where can I get help with problem gambling?
We link to BeGambleAware, GamCare and GamStop. See our Responsible Gambling page for full details. If you need support, contact one of these organisations-they are free and confidential.
