Our approach
How operators are chosen for this list
What earns a spot
- A current UK Gambling Commission licence
- A clear cashier, terms, and account-tools experience
- Sensible bonus terms written in plain language
- Visible safer-gambling tools inside the account area
What we do not do
- Run a casino or take bets, deposits, or withdrawals
- Promise wins, risk-free play, or guaranteed bonuses
- Rank brands purely by the commission they pay us
- Act as customer support for any listed operator

FAQ
A few things readers ask
Is The Luck File a casino?
No. We are an independent comparison website. We do not accept bets or deposits, hold player funds, run games, or operate accounts. Every operator listed here runs its own site under its own UK Gambling Commission licence.
How do you make money?
The site is affiliate-funded. If you click through to an operator and choose to register, we may receive a commission. You pay nothing extra, and operators do not pay to be reviewed more favourably.
Are all listed casinos UK licensed?
Yes. Every operator on the shortlist holds a current licence from the UK Gambling Commission. You can verify any licence on the regulator's own register.
What if I have an issue with an operator?
Please contact the operator directly first — we cannot access accounts, process payments, or resolve disputes. If you need independent help, the UK Gambling Commission and GamCare are good places to start.
How do I take a break from gambling?
You can self-exclude from every UK-licensed online operator at once through GAMSTOP. Most operators also offer deposit limits, reality checks, and time-outs inside the account settings.
A short note
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Only play with funds you can comfortably afford to lose, set limits in advance, and step away when it stops being fun. If you are under 18, this site and any linked operator are not for you.
