Why 93% beats 87% — and when it shouldn't matter to you
The weighting favours the phone experience, because that's this site's whole premise. 888 Casino tops the round on the strength of its native apps and the breadth behind them — but weighting is a choice, not a law. If your evenings are mostly live roulette, Grosvenor's own-venue tables arguably outrank anything else in the grid. If you just want something quick in a browser between other things, Duelz and Spin Genie are the natural picks.
One thing the table can't show: all five licences are equal. There's no such thing as "more licensed" — every operator here meets the same Gambling Commission requirements on player protection, age checks and GamStop membership. The differences worth weighing are the ones above the licence row.
The reasoning behind each row
Licence & protection
A pass/fail gate, not a score. We look each operator up on the Gambling Commission register before anything else; no licence, no listing. All five passed, which also means all five are covered by GamStop self-exclusion by law.
Game range
Breadth matters less than character. 888's lobby is the largest and includes slots its own studio builds; Spin Genie's Slingo shelf is something none of the other four can match. Casushi and Duelz cover the popular titles without trying to be encyclopaedic.
Live casino
Grosvenor is the interesting one: its roulette streams come from an actual casino floor in London, not a purpose-built studio, and the atmosphere is noticeably different. 888 counters with sheer choice, including tables reserved for its own players.
Mobile experience
The heavyweight criterion. Native apps from 888 and Grosvenor, browser-only play from the other three — and browser-only is not a downgrade when it's done as well as Duelz does it. The mobile & apps page goes handset-deep on this.
Studios & offers
We note which suppliers stock each lobby because studios, not casinos, make the games. On offers we record the type only — matched deposit, spins, or both — since headline numbers change and the wagering terms behind them matter more than the figure.
Support & usability
Every operator here runs live chat; the difference is what happens around it. 888's help centre is genuinely searchable, Casushi keeps things human and informal, and Grosvenor benefits from staff who also deal with venue customers.
