FAQ | Lavery Pennell

Lavery Pennell is an editorial comparison website focused on UK-facing slot casinos and player guides. We review operators, organise comparison tables and link to third-party casinos, but we do not operate any gambling services ourselves.

No. We only provide information and links. All gambling takes place on the operators’ websites. We do not accept wagers, process deposits or hold any customer funds.

Some links on the site are commercial and may generate commission if a reader clicks through and signs up. That does not change the terms offered by the operator, and we still compare casinos using licensing, product quality, usability and promotional clarity rather than commission alone.

Yes. We only include operators that hold a valid UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. You can check the licence number in the footer of each operator’s website.

We look at licensing, cashier transparency, slot range, mobile usability, withdrawal reputation, bonus terms and general ease of use. Commercial relationships can influence placement, but we still expect every listed site to meet a basic editorial standard before it appears.

Many slot sites do offer a free-play or demo mode, although availability depends on the operator and the game provider. Some titles are open immediately, while others only appear after registration or on selected devices.

We refresh comparison pages when we spot significant changes, but operators can still update terms without warning. Treat our tables as a useful starting point and confirm the live offer on the casino itself before you register or deposit.

Wagering (or playthrough) is how many times you must bet the bonus (and sometimes the deposit) before you can withdraw winnings from the bonus. For example, 35x bonus means you must wager 35 times the bonus amount. Terms also often include time limits and max bet rules.

You must be 18 or over to use our site and to gamble in the UK. Gambling by under-18s is illegal. Operators will verify your age when you register.

We signpost readers to organisations including BeGambleAware, GamCare and GamStop. The full list is available on our Responsible Gambling page, and those services are generally free and confidential.
