An independent comparison site, and upfront about what that means

What we are

Chipboard Room (chipboardroom.com) is an independent comparison and information resource covering online casinos licensed to operate in the UK. We are not a casino operator ourselves, we don't accept deposits or bets, and we have no involvement in the games, odds, or outcomes on any site we cover. Everything you read here is our own assessment, built from direct testing of each operator's public-facing product.

How we make money

This site runs on affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up, that operator may pay Chipboard Room a fee — this is standard practice across the comparison industry and it's the only way the site earns revenue. Full detail on how that works sits on our affiliate disclosure page. Commission arrangements are agreed after an operator's score is set, not before, and they don't move a star rating up or down.

How we compare operators

Every operator on this site holds a current UK Gambling Commission licence, checked against the public register before it's listed. From there, our comparison table and reviews score game range, live casino quality, mobile and app experience, the studios behind the games, how welcome offers are structured, customer support, and general day-to-day usability. We deliberately leave out payment methods and withdrawal speed — this is a reviews and comparison resource, not a payments guide, and those details are better sourced directly from an operator's own terms.

Who this site is for

This site is written for UK adults who are already thinking about which licensed casino to use and want a second opinion before signing up — not for people looking for a way to make money, and not for anyone who isn't comfortable that gambling carries real financial risk. If gambling has ever felt like more than entertainment to you, our responsible gambling page lists UK support services that are free, confidential, and separate from any casino operator.

Keeping this current

Operator products change — a new app version ships, a live studio gets added, a welcome offer is restructured. We recheck licensing and revisit the comparison periodically rather than writing it once and leaving it static, and the "last updated" date on the homepage reflects the most recent full pass.
