Six UKGC-licensed sites on this page. Eight criteria on the scorecards. One editorial spine: how bonuses are structured and how fair the terms look once you slow down and check them.

Before you sign up
Bonuses look neat on a banner. The useful detail sits in the wagering multiplier, game weighting, and how long you have to clear the offer. Here is what we check before we grade anything.
Operator showcase
We lead with how each site frames its welcome and whether the library around it feels deep enough to make those terms relevant. Grades are letter scores (A–D), not marketing stars.

TigerBet grew out of a British sportsbook mindset, so the casino sits beside racing and football rather than as a standalone resort brand. Welcome packages here usually lean matched-deposit, and the wagering language is plain enough to scan before you opt in — useful if you want the casino lobby without a theatrical theme park wrapper.
LottoGo built its name on lottery-style draws and then folded in slots and table games for players who already chase jackpots. Offers often arrive as free spins or hybrid packs rather than a pure bankroll match — read the conversion caps on spin wins before you treat the headline as cash.
The Flutter-owned PokerStars Casino carries decades of poker credibility into a full casino floor, with Evolution and other major studios filling live roulette, blackjack and game shows. Welcome deals here tend to be structured packages with clear wagering steps; the library is broad enough that those terms actually matter across slots and live tables.
BetMGM brings the Las Vegas MGM brand into the UK under Entain’s licence framework, with a lobby that leans hard into live dealer tables and branded slots. New-player offers usually follow the matched-deposit pattern; check game weighting if you prefer roulette over spinning reels, because table contributions can differ.
Casushi runs a sushi-themed UK casino with a tighter game list than the big multi-brand floors. Welcome value often arrives as spins or a modest match — fine for a focused session, less ideal if you need every niche studio under one roof. Grade reflects catalogue breadth more than the kitchen gimmick.
Play Magical aims at players who want a light, story-flavoured lobby rather than a sportsbook twin. Promotions often spotlight free spins on featured titles; always check whether those spins land on a capped win and which wagering applies once they convert. The grade sits mid-table on variety, stronger on approachability.
How we compare
Each operator gets a compact scorecard on our comparison page. We look at UKGC licensing, game range, live casino depth, mobile or app quality, named studio presence, welcome offer type, support access, and everyday usability. We do not score payment rails or cashout timing — this site is about product fit and terms, not banking.
Letter grades (A–D) summarise how fair and usable the overall package feels for a UK player, with extra weight on whether bonus language is readable. Brass and Felt is affiliate-funded and independent: commissions do not buy a higher grade.

FAQ
Not by itself. A 100% match with 40× wagering on a short deadline can cost more time than a smaller match with clearer game weighting. We grade the structure — multiplier, eligible games, and caps — ahead of the banner percentage.
Yes. Every operator on Brass and Felt must show a UK Gambling Commission licence. That licence is what unlocks GamStop self-exclusion and the standard player-protection tools. If we cannot verify the licence, the site does not appear here.
It is the number of times you must stake bonus funds (and sometimes the deposit) before you can withdraw related winnings. Example: £20 bonus at 30× means £600 in qualifying stakes. Slots usually contribute 100%; many table games contribute far less or nothing.
No. We only publish comparisons. Account issues, verification, and game outcomes go straight to the operator’s support team. For harm-related support, use GamCare or GambleAware — not our contact form.
Free spins are usually tied to a named slot, often with a max convertible win. A deposit match tops up your balance by a percentage of what you put in. Both still carry wagering; spins can feel “free” until you hit the conversion cap in the terms.
Gambling involves risk. Only play with money you can afford to lose. Brass and Felt is for adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. We are not a gambling operator and do not provide tips that claim guaranteed returns. Always read the operator’s terms and use deposit, loss and session limits. If gambling stops being fun, visit GambleAware.org or self-exclude via GamStop.
