Why choose our best new casino sites?

This page is a long time coming. As we’ve expanded in the online gambling sphere, we realised we needed to create a listing for the most luxurious and frankly the best new casino sites; those that have the mightiest bonuses and the highest quality gaming content.

Here, you’re most likely to find well-known bricks and mortar casino brands that have branched out into the iGaming universe. These beautiful sites often capture the glitz and glamour of their city-centre counterparts. You can head to Betway’s Hippodrome Online Casino and experience one of the UK’s grandest casinos without having to schlep to Leicester Square.

Some of these sites even have a sort of all encompassing loyalty programme; you can become a member of Grosvenor Casino and gain perks on land and online. Some of these sites, like The Vic, also have live dealer casino games that beam out live from within the walls of the land-based version!

Online luxury doesn’t have to be that traditional though. We also have super modern, super independent new sites that do it differently. At brands like Lottomart Games, you can experience all the quality of classic casino games on a quirky, newer platform. Fabulous Vegas, too, is a thoroughly 21st century online casino-plex that is about so much more than just slots.

So what are the best new casino sites out there at this very moment?

Deep Dive

Les Ambassadeurs is the pinnacle of luxury and exactly the sort of site you’d expect to find in our new casinos section. The Les A club is in central London and has a long and storied aristocratic history having once been owned by a Rothschild!

The site, which only recently launched online, is a perfect blend of old world class and modern innovation. The welcome bonus, for example, is thoroughly forward thinking. It’s a members club where you too could become a member. It’s inclusive and exclusive – what a blend!

In this list, you’ll find a mix of classic casinos and those of a new generation. Voodoo Dreams Casino is a brilliant example of the latter. They offer an exciting No Wagering Free Spins offer and access to their novel loyalty area.

The majority of slots come from the Microgaming platform. These include Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II, and Break da Bank again. You’ll also find slots from Wazdan, a lesser known games company based in Malta.

As befits a casino, they also have plenty of table games including Blackjack, Roulette, and Jacks or Better, a video poker game.

Our favourite casino with a new licence is Dragonbet. Confirmed in July 2024, the brand’s independent new licence has turned a good site into a great site!

What’s the difference between a Casino and a Slots site?

To be honest, some of it is in the name. If a site calls itself a casino, then it probably is one. If a site ends in the term “slots,” then slots are probably the focus.

However, there are some grey areas. Obviously a casino pretty much always has slots. And slots sites often have casino games. Sometimes it’s just a feeling you get from the design. Slots are often more simple and playful, whereas a casino might be grander and more luxurious.

A casino is more likely, for example, to have a full live dealer platform. These are usually provided and integrated by Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, or Extreme Live Gaming.

However, it is fair to say this is changing now too. As we continue forth into 2025, many slots and even bingo-focused sites have full live dealer platforms. For example, all Jumpman Gaming sites now have live casino thanks to the integration with Pragmatic Play.

In addition, a casino may have tens of table and card games. A slot site will often only have a handful of casino games. It’s probably not enough to sustain a casino player, if they’re the only games they want to play.

Check out our New Slot Sites page if that’s your playing focus!

New Casino Sites UK Trends in 2024 & going into 2025

As we’ve discussed, we’re seeing quite an evolution in the online casino space. Hopefully, you’ve found exactly what you’re looking for in these listings and we’ve provided a good explanation as to what’s here. To wrap up, we want to look forward and give you some pointers as to what’s coming down the track in the New Year for new online casinos in 2025.

Casinos with Brand New UKGC Licences

We’ve seen a bit of a race this year to launch casino sites with new and unique licences. While there will always be a place for the great white label platforms, we can see that our players desire independent sites with a brand-new, UK Gambling Commission approved licence.

The Playbook platform casinos Gentleman Jim, Dragonbet and PricedUp have all had great success this year with such a formulation. Even though they run off the same technology, they all have personalised licences, which make them extra appealing to our diehard casino fans.

We expect this to be the biggest trend for operators in 2025 who are looking to launch the next big online casino over the coming year.

More types of gambling websites

Whether they are bingo or slot sites, more are carrying table games and live dealer casinos. These used to be reserved for the types of sites we’re showcasing here, but this is truly expanding. That means we will constantly be monitoring this page and new types of sites could become classed as tip top quality new casino sites.

Online casinos and sports betting

These are becoming more of a compatible match as players’ habits evolve. Many new sites, including a plurality of Aspire Global casinos, are now launching brands that have both, in easily navigable tabs. One of our top performing brands on this page is Gentleman Jim, a perfect example of the sports and casino blend. It will become more normal to have gambling sites as both online casino and sportsbook brands! To celebrate this, we’ve launched a page called New Gambling Sites which features many of these great combo brands.

Match Bonuses will continue to get smaller

Percentage matches will decrease, as regulation and taxation continues to evolve in line with government policy and public opinion. This is not something to lament especially, as it means we’re also seeing the demise (hopefully) of massive and unfair wagering requirements. Many brands are adapting and creating more unusual and creative welcome offers. Take Voodoo Dreams up top, for example. The days of 600% casino bonuses are over. But we’ll continue to point players to the best of today’s welcome offers and our new casino sites page is a great place to start, as we have the biggest and best bonuses around!
