Every online casino shouts about its offers, but how do you know if you can trust them? I test them, so you know where's worth playing & how to get genuine value.
- The £26m illegal gambling crackdown has produced its first arrests across Bristol, Doncaster and South Yorkshire.
- On top of that, two new Monopoly game show guides have gone live, with Monopoly Roll'em following next week.
- There has also been a casino offer change that you need to know about.
It's been a busy week in UK online casino sites, with the illegal gambling crackdown finally producing arrests, two new Monopoly guides going live, and a welcome offer change worth flagging.
This week's biggest story comes from the UK Gambling Commission, where the promised £26 million enforcement fund is starting to show results.
Three separate operations since late July, in Bristol, Doncaster and South Yorkshire, have led to arrests, seized cash and confiscated illegal betting terminals.
I have the full breakdown in this week's news piece, which I think is well worth a read.
On the guide side, two of my Evolution game show guides are now live and fully updated.
My guide to Monopoly Live covers the rules, RTP and best UK casinos to play at, and my Monopoly Roulette guide does the same for Evolution's dice and roulette hybrid.
Monopoly Roll'em's guide follows next week, completing the set across all three of Evolution's Hasbro-licensed live casino games.
| Content updated | What's changed |
|---|---|
| Monopoly Live guide | Live now, rules, RTP and best UK casinos |
| Monopoly Roulette guide | Live now, rules, RTP and best UK casinos |
| Monopoly Roll'em guide | Coming next week, completes the Hasbro set |
| Lottomart welcome offer | Games swapped from Pragmatic Play to Blueprint Gaming |
| £26m enforcement fund | Producing arrests, full write-up this week |
On the offers side, Lottomart has swapped the games behind its welcome offer from Pragmatic Play titles to Blueprint Gaming slots.
The headline terms look similar, but the actual games behind an offer always shape the experience, so it's worth checking the specifics before you sign up.
Speaking about this week's events in the casino world, OLBG's Casino Content Manager David Coleman said: "A funding pledge is easy to make. Raids, seized cash and real arrests within weeks of each other are a different story.
"It's also a good week to remind members why licensing matters. Every guide and review we keep current is about making the regulated market easier to navigate than the alternative."
Next week I'll be back with a full review of PricedUp Casino, plus the Monopoly Roll'em guide.
