New casino apps UK

New casino apps UK: the honest answer

If you're searching for new casino apps, you'll mostly find established operators in new clothes. That's true of our partners too. PlayOJO launched in February 2017, 10bet's licence holder has held a casino licence since December 2015, and Coral and Ladbrokes have run under LC International Limited's licence since July 2019.

The newest pieces are elsewhere: Casumo's licence holder, Recro Limited, has held its remote casino licence since 21 December 2023, Coral's current welcome offer started on 1 October 2026, and the Entain casino apps now need iOS 18. Among other UK brands, BetMGM was reported to have launched in the UK in 2023. Our main best casino apps list covers every ranking.

What counts as a new casino app?

New can mean four quite different things, and only one of them involves a casino you've never heard of.

A brand-new brand isn't automatically riskier if it holds a UK licence, but it has less history to judge. A new licence holder for an old brand is worth noticing, because the company you have a contract with is the one named in the terms.

How we ranked new casino apps for current sign-ups

We don't rank by launch date, because a newer casino isn't a better one. Instead we asked which partner app is most current and best set up for someone joining today, using only published facts:

• how recent the app's store listing requirements are, and what devices it supports;
• app features named in the store listing;
• whether the welcome offer is current, dated and clearly described;
• licence status on the Gambling Commission's register.

The order is our standard partner ranking. Other new or recently changed apps appear later as unranked brands worth knowing.

Best new and recently updated casino apps, ranked

1. Coral Casino: current build, dated offer

Coral Casino: Slots & Games is a dedicated casino app that now needs iOS 18.0 or later, and it lists support for iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision. Its listing names free-to-play games with real-money prizes and promotions such as Smart Rewards, Rewards Grabber and Coral Coins. The welcome offer has published start and end dates: 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027. The trade-off of that iOS 18 requirement is that older iPhones are left out.

2. Ladbrokes Casino: same recent platform, its own extras

Ladbrokes Casino Games & Slots shares the iOS 18.0 requirement and the same Entain platform. Its listing describes free-to-play games such as Instant Spins and a daily prize wheel, and a reward currency called LadBucks. Its iOS privacy label shows no tracking category, which is unusual among our partners. Because Coral and Ladbrokes share an operator, one person may not be able to open new accounts at both.

3. PlayOJO: lean app, long track record

PlayOJO Real Money Casino is the smallest partner app at 25.4 MB and still supports iOS 15.0, so it reaches older iPhones the Entain apps no longer do. It's a casino-only brand with OJOplus money back on every game played. One thing to note on its iOS listing: it says the app may use your location even when it isn't open, which can affect battery life.

4. Casumo: newest licence, most modern feature list

Casumo's App Store listing names Face ID and Touch ID login, a home screen widget, Quick Launch for your last four slots, Apple Pay Quick Deposit and a haptic feedback switch. Recro Limited, its licence holder, is the most recently licensed of our partners' operators. On iOS, it's one combined casino and sportsbook app.

5. 10bet: combined app, older licence

10bet: Sports Betting & Casino is a sportsbook-first app, filed under Sports on the App Store, needing iOS 16.0. Mac isn't listed. Its two store descriptions disagree on the casino's size (2,000+ slots on iOS against 3,000+ games on Google Play), which is a small sign that listings aren't always kept in step.

New casino app listings compared: requirements and licences

Google Play doesn't show a minimum Android version on these listings, so check compatibility on your own phone. Our guide to which iOS version casino apps need explains what to do if your iPhone is too old.

UK rules every new casino app must follow

Whatever its launch date, every app licensed for Great Britain works under the same recent rules. That's one reason a new UK app can't offer anything wildly different from an old one.

Our UK rules hub has a page on each one, including the wagering cap and the slot stake limits.

How to check a new casino app before you sign up

1. Find the app only through the App Store or Google Play. Apple's App Review Guidelines (opens in a new tab) say real-money gambling apps must be licensed where they're used, geo-restricted and free to download.
2. Note the publisher or seller name on the listing, and the company named in the app's terms.
3. Search for that company or brand on the Gambling Commission's public register (opens in a new tab) and check the casino licence is active.
4. If the names differ, look for the brand under the licence holder's trading names or domains. Betway's apps, for example, list Digital Outsource International Limited as seller, while the licence sits with Betway Limited.
5. Read the privacy label or Google Play data safety section to see what the app collects.
6. Make sure the app offers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. All GB-licensed operators have had to take part in GAMSTOP since March 2020 (opens in a new tab).

Newer UK casino apps also worth knowing

These apps aren't ranked and we have no offers with them. Each is newer, or has changed recently, in a way worth knowing.

• BetMGM: reported UK launch in August 2023, run by LeoVegas Gaming PLC. Its combined casino and sports app needs iOS 16.4 and is 211.5 MB, the largest here.
• Midnite: a sportsbook from 2018 that added casino in 2023; the register shows casino activity from 15 May 2023 under Dribble Media Limited. Its iOS app needs iOS 16.0 and is 168 MB.
• Sky Vegas: now licensed to Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, active from 18 November 2024, after the former licensee surrendered its licence. The App Store listing still names Bonne Terre Ltd.
• Gala Bingo: its combined bingo and casino app, like Coral's, now needs iOS 18.0.

Should you choose a new casino app or an established one?

For most people, the deciding factors are the same either way: a live UK licence, published payout times, the tools to set limits, and an offer whose terms you've read. Our guide to choosing a casino app walks through them, and our list of UK-licensed casino apps starts from the licence.

Red flags with new casino apps

• No match on the Gambling Commission register. Offshore apps give no UK protection, no access to UK complaint routes and no GAMSTOP cover.
• An APK download link instead of a store listing. That skips Google Play's licence checks.
• Offers that break UK rules. Anything above 10x wagering, a bonus that mixes sports and casino, or autoplay on slots means the app isn't following GB rules.
• Credit card deposits. Banned for UK gambling since 14 April 2020, so any app accepting them isn't playing by UK rules.
• Pressure to sign up today. Treat countdowns and now-or-never messages as a warning sign; a proper offer has dated terms you can read at your own pace.

If an app worries you, our guide on how to report a casino app explains where to go.

Welcome offers at established casino apps for new UK players

Our partners aren't new casinos, but each has a current welcome offer for new customers. All are 18+ and terms apply.

• Coral: deposit (certain types excluded) and bet £10+ on slots for 100 free spins at 10p on selected games; accept within 48 hours, valid 7 days, no wagering on winnings; runs 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027.

These are slot offers, and table and live games are often excluded or count for less. The house edge means losses are the likely result over time, so set a limit before you start.

18+. Every casino game has a built-in house edge, so over time you should expect to lose what you stake. Set a budget before you play and stop when it’s gone: safer gambling tools and support. Free, confidential help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133.
