Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about MerryCrown and gambling safely in the UK.
Is MerryCrown an online casino?
No. MerryCrown is an independent review and information service. We do not accept deposits or bets. When you click through to a brand, you leave our pages and register directly with that licensed operator.
Are the casinos you review licensed in the UK?
Yes. We only list operators holding an active UK Gambling Commission licence. Every review links straight to the operator's entry on the official public register so you can check it yourself.
How old do I need to be?
You must be 18 or over to gamble in Great Britain. Licensed operators carry out age and identity verification, and our content is intended for adults only.
How do you rate each casino?
We score licensing and security, payment options and withdrawals, mobile experience, customer support and the quality of safer gambling tools. Ratings are our editorial opinion and are reviewed regularly.
Do you earn money from the brands you list?
We may receive a commission when you register with an operator through our links. This costs you nothing and does not change our scores. Full details are on our Disclosure page.
What safer gambling tools should I look for?
UKGC licensees must offer deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion. You can also register with GamStop to block access to every UK-licensed operator at once.
What if my gambling is becoming a problem?
Stop and reach out. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and open 24/7. You can also contact GamCare, BeGambleAware or Gamblers Anonymous, or self-exclude with GamStop.
