To find the RTP in a casino app, open the game and look in its help, rules or paytable screen, usually reached through a menu or information icon inside the game itself. UK rules require the RTP, or another measure of your chances, to be available before you place a bet, so it should always be there.
The RTP lives inside each game, usually on its help, rules or paytable screen, not in the app's settings.
UK rules (RTS 3) say your chances of winning must be available before you commit to a bet.
Check the figure in your app, because the same slot can run at different RTP versions.
Ranges, "up to" figures and jackpot splits all need a careful read.
If you can't find it, ask support before you play, and complain if the answer isn't clear.

How do I find the RTP in a casino app? The quick route
The RTP isn't usually listed in a casino app's lobby or account settings. It sits inside each game. Load the game, then open its help or rules screen, which is normally reached from a menu or a small information icon somewhere on the game screen. Scroll until you find a line that mentions return to player, theoretical return or RTP.
For slots, the figure is often near the end of the rules, after the paytable and feature descriptions. For live and table games, it may appear as an RTP, a house edge, or a list of returns for each bet. The Gambling Commission lets operators use any of these, as long as you can judge your chances before you play.
Step by step: find the RTP in a casino app on iPhone or Android
The steps are the same on an iPhone or an Android phone, because the help screen belongs to the game rather than the operating system.
Log in to the casino app and find the game through the lobby or search.
Open the game but don't place a bet yet. In a slot, you won't be charged until you spin.
Find the game's own menu or information icon on the game screen. Its position varies from one game to the next.
Open the help, rules or paytable section and scroll through it.
Look for the RTP or theoretical return line, and read any notes beside it, such as a range, an "up to" figure or a jackpot share.
Write the figure down or take a screenshot if you're comparing several games.
If there's no figure, check the casino's game information page on its website, then contact support.

May not have a fixed figure: returns depend on other players
That last row reflects a genuine exception. Commission guidance accepts that the likelihood of winning can't always be stated in advance, for example where results depend on how many people join a bingo game or on other players' skill.
Why UK casino apps must show the RTP
The requirement comes from the Commission's remote technical standards. RTS 3 (opens in a new tab) aims "to enable customers to make informed decisions about whether to gamble based on their chances of winning". It says the rules must be easily available before you commit to gamble, and so must the prizes and payouts or how they're worked out.
On chances of winning, the standard lets operators show the house edge, the RTP percentage or the probability of winning events. For games of chance, guidance says the figure to show is the average theoretical RTP. For games with a skill element, such as blackjack, it should be calculated using a standard or published strategy, which is why blackjack figures assume basic strategy.
Our page on RTP information rules sets out the standard in more depth, including what it doesn't require.
How to read the RTP once you've found it
A single figure is easy: 96.71% means that, over a very large number of plays, about £96.71 comes back for every £100 staked. Other formats need more care.
Common RTP wording in casino apps and what it means
What you see
Example
What it means
A single figure
Big Bass Bonanza: 96.71%
Long-run return on all play; the house edge is 3.29%
"Up to" a figure
Mega Joker: up to 99%
The top figure applies only in one mode or at one stake
A range
Lightning Roulette: 97.10%–97.30% (UK operator game pages)
Different bets return different amounts
Two figures for an option
Sweet Bonanza Xmas: 96.48% (96.51% with Ante Bet)
The return changes if you turn on an optional bet
Base game only
Mega Moolah: 88.12% base game
The jackpot share is excluded from the figure
Jackpot included
Divine Fortune: 96.59%
About 4.07 points of it is jackpot contribution
Converting RTP to house edge makes costs easy to estimate: take the RTP away from 100%. At 96%, 200 spins at 50p means £100 staked and an expected loss of £4. In any one session the result can be far above or below that, which is the job of volatility to describe.
Why the RTP in your app may not match a review site
Studios often release the same slot at several RTP settings. Bigger Bass Bonanza, for instance, is published at 96.71% with 95.67% and 94.62% versions also available, and the casino chooses which to offer. A figure on a review site is a guide; the figure in your app's help screen is the one that applies to you.
Under RTS 7, a game's rules, payouts and probabilities can't change while it's available for play. A casino can swap a game for a different version, but it can't quietly lower the return mid-session.
Can't find the RTP in a casino app? What to do next
Re-open the game's help screen and scroll to the very end; RTP lines are often last.
Try the same game on the casino's website, where game information pages can be easier to read.
Contact the casino's support team by live chat or email and ask for the RTP of the exact game.
Don't play until you have an answer you understand.
If the casino can't or won't tell you, raise a formal complaint. Our guide on how to complain about a casino app explains the process, including independent dispute resolution.
Who checks that a casino app's RTP is accurate
The figure isn't just the casino's word. Under the Commission's testing strategy, new games and random number generators can only be released once testing is complete and the report has gone to the Commission. Game testing covers the design, the software and the actual RTP, checked through simulation, emulation and manual testing.
Once you can find the figure, you can compare games on cost rather than looks. A single-zero roulette game has a 2.70% house edge, which is a 97.30% RTP. A slot listed at 96% costs more per pound staked, and a jackpot slot with a low base RTP costs more again unless you land the jackpot.
Our best RTP slot on a casino app answer lists the highest published slot figures, and our page on the house edge by game does the same for table games. Remember that RTP never removes the house edge: over time, losses are the likely outcome.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the RTP shown in a casino app?
Inside each game rather than in the app's menus. Open the game, then its help, rules or paytable screen, usually via a menu or information icon. The RTP line is often near the end. Live games show it in a help panel within the stream. If you still can't see it, check the casino's website or ask support. Our guide to finding a game's RTP in an app walks through each screen.
Do UK casino apps have to show RTP?
They have to show information about your chances of winning before you commit to a bet, under the Gambling Commission's RTS 3 standard. That can be the RTP, the house edge or the probability of winning events. For games of chance, guidance says the figure is the average theoretical RTP. Some games, like bingo, can't give a fixed figure because returns depend on other players. Our page on RTP information rules has the detail.
Why is the RTP in my app lower than on a review site?
The casino is probably running a different version of the game. Many slots are released at several RTP settings, and each operator picks one. A review site often quotes the highest version, so the help screen in your app is the figure that applies. It's a casino choice, not an app penalty. Our answer on whether RTP is lower on casino apps explains why.
What does 'up to' mean next to an RTP?
It means the top figure only applies in certain conditions, such as a particular mode, stake or optional bet. Mega Joker, for example, lists up to 99%, but that figure is tied to its Supermeter mode at the top stake. In other conditions the return is lower. Read the whole RTP section of the help screen to see when the headline figure applies. Our Mega Joker review explains the mode.
Can I see the RTP before I deposit?
Often, yes. Some casinos publish game information on their websites, and UK rules mean the information must be available before you commit to gamble. In some apps you'll need to be logged in and age verified to open a game, even in demo mode. If you want to check a game before signing up, try the operator's website or ask its support team. See our casino app checklist before you sign up.
Is the RTP the same for live casino games?
Live games have RTPs too, but they often vary by bet. Lightning Roulette is listed at 97.10% to 97.30% on UK operator game pages, because different bets return different amounts. Live blackjack figures assume a standard strategy. Look in the help panel inside the live stream, which should list the main bet and any side bets. Our page on live roulette on mobile covers the format.
Who checks that the RTP is correct?
Independent test houses approved by the Gambling Commission. New games and random number generators can only be released after testing, and the report goes to the Commission. Testing checks the game's design, software and actual RTP. The Commission's standards also ban online games that adjust outcomes to hit a target return. Our answer to do casino apps rig games explains the safeguards.
Does the RTP tell me how much I'll win?
No. RTP is a long-run average across a huge number of plays, so it can't predict a single session. With 200 spins at 50p on a 96% slot, the expected loss is £4, but the actual result could be much better or worse. How far results swing depends on volatility. Treat RTP as a guide to cost, not a forecast. Our answer on slot volatility explains the swings.
