Last updated: May 2026 — Simon Trevorrow, Love2move
At Love2move (love2move.co.uk), every casino review you read is the result of genuine, hands-on testing carried out by site owner and lead reviewer Simon Trevorrow. We do not publish reviews based on operator-supplied materials, press releases, or hearsay. Before a single word is written, Simon creates a real account, makes a real deposit, and plays with real money. This is how we ensure that every opinion expressed on this site reflects an honest player experience rather than a marketing pitch.
Our focus is exclusively on non-UK licensed casinos serving players in Great Britain. This is a specialised segment of the market, and we believe it deserves a specialised, rigorous approach. The methodology described on this page applies to every casino reviewed on Love2move as of 2026 and will be updated whenever our standards evolve.
Before testing begins, Simon verifies the casino's licensing information, ownership structure, and operational history. Any site that cannot demonstrate a credible licence from a recognised international jurisdiction is immediately disqualified from receiving a full review. This stage also includes checking player forums, complaint databases, and withdrawal track records to identify any serious red flags before personal funds are committed.
Simon registers a genuine player account using standard personal details. The sign-up process, identity verification requirements, and the speed of account approval are all recorded and scored. A smooth, transparent onboarding process is a strong positive signal; excessive friction or unclear KYC demands are noted as negatives.
A real deposit is made using one or more of the casino's advertised payment methods. Welcome bonuses are activated where applicable, and the full terms and conditions — including wagering requirements, game restrictions, maximum bet rules, and withdrawal caps — are read and evaluated in detail. Simon does not simply report the headline bonus figure; he assesses whether the offer represents genuine value for a real player.
Simon plays a representative selection of games across available categories: slots, table games, and live dealer titles where offered. Software providers, game loading speeds, fairness indicators such as published RTP figures, and overall entertainment quality are all assessed during this stage.
Support channels are tested directly, typically via live chat and email. Response times, the accuracy of answers given, and the professionalism of the support team are all recorded. Mystery shopper-style questions are used to probe the depth of knowledge available.
A withdrawal is requested and the full process is monitored — from submission through to funds arriving in the account. Processing times, any additional verification steps, and the smoothness of the overall experience are factored into the final score.
The casino is accessed on a mobile device to evaluate the quality of the browser-based or app experience, including navigation, game availability, and payment functionality on smaller screens.
Each casino receives a final score out of 10, calculated by weighting six core categories. The table below shows how each category contributes to the overall score.
| Category | Weighting | What We Assess |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Jurisdiction, licence credibility, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, complaint history |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Offer value, wagering requirements, fairness of terms, ongoing promotions |
| Game Selection | 20% | Game variety, software providers, RTP transparency, live casino quality |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Deposit and withdrawal options including crypto and fiat, processing speeds, fees |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability, response speed, accuracy, professionalism |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Design quality, game availability, payment functionality on mobile |
Love2move earns revenue through affiliate commissions when readers sign up to casinos via our links. We are transparent about this. However, our editorial process is entirely independent of commercial relationships. Simon Trevorrow makes all scoring decisions alone, based solely on the testing methodology described above. A casino cannot pay to improve its score, request edits to a published review, or influence our ratings in any way. Casinos that score poorly are published as such, and any casino found to engage in sharp practices will have its review updated or removed from recommendation listings entirely.
If you have a question about how we scored a specific casino, or if you have had a different experience to the one we described, you are welcome to contact Simon directly via the contact page on love2move.co.uk. Player feedback is taken seriously and can trigger a re-test.
