What UK Eel Minutes is —
and what it isn't.

The short version

UK Eel Minutes (ukeelminutes.com) is an independent comparison site for UK online casinos. We review and compare operators that hold active UK Gambling Commission licences. We are not an operator — we don't run any games, accept deposits, or have any involvement in gameplay or financial transactions. We have no ownership connection to any of the brands we review.

How we make money

We earn commission through affiliate marketing. When a reader visits an operator through one of our links and creates an account, we may receive a fee from that operator. The fee doesn't change based on how favourably we cover them — it's a fixed arrangement, not a performance bonus tied to our editorial scores.

We choose which operators to feature based on their UKGC licensing, market standing and relevance to UK players — not on the commission rates they offer us. Low-commission operators can and do appear on this site; high-commission operators we consider poor value for players do not. The full affiliate disclosure explains the mechanics in detail.

How we assess operators

Each operator on the site is assessed across eight criteria: UKGC licence status, native app quality (iOS and Android), mobile web experience, live casino range, overall game range, game studio variety, welcome offer type, and general usability on small screens. We weight mobile experience heavily — it's where the biggest quality gaps between operators show up and where most comparison sites don't look carefully enough.

Grades are letter-based (A to C) and represent our editorial judgement. They're updated when operators make significant changes. We don't have dedicated paid reviewers for every brand on an ongoing basis, so the comparison represents a point-in-time assessment — that's why the "last updated" date on the homepage matters.

Responsible gambling

Casino gambling involves financial risk. UK Eel Minutes does not encourage gambling as a way to make money, and we do not make exaggerated claims about winnings or returns.
