How do US and UK online casinos differ?

 

Online casinos are popular in both the United Kingdom and the United States. While they generally work in the same way, there are some significant differences between them which we’ve decided to take a look at here.

What’s Different?

The main difference between UK online casinos and those in the US are regulatory bodies. In the UK, all online casinos must possess a valid license from the UK Gambling Gambling, the United Kingdom’s main regulatory body for all things gambling. According to SmartphoneCasinos.co.uk, a popular casino review site in Great Britain, obtaining such a license has become incredibly difficult, and operators need to prove their eligibility to provide a safe and fair gambling experience in more than one aspect of their operations. Meanwhile, in the United States, this is a little more complicated as it will depend on each individual state, most of which have their own regulatory bodies which determine various factors at the online casino.

The game selection is also very different between American and British online casinos. In the UK, games at online casinos are usually provided by some of the big-name developers like Microgaming, NetEnt, Playson, Big Time Gaming, Playtech, Blueprint Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Wazdan, and so many others. The games at US casinos, however, are all developed by independent studios. Yet, some popular UK developers have begun offering their games to US casino sites which have helped diversify the US offering.

Promotions and bonuses between those in the US and UK work differently too. You’ll find that US online casinos tend to offer bigger promotions and bonuses than the bonuses found at UK websites. Both have terms and conditions that you must follow, but the UK casino promotions are generally much more restrictive than those in the US.

Finally, it’s important to point out that the most successful online casinos in the UK are owned by big-name brands like BGO, Aspire Global, 888 Holdings, Genesis Global, and so many others. In the US, however, most sites are independent, making them much more unique than those in the UK.

What’s Similar?

Despite their differences, US and UK online casinos work very similarly. You both have to register and create an account to play at an online casino, and you’ll have to make deposits using approved payment options.

UK and US online casinos all tend to offer similar games too including video slots, jackpots and classic table games. However, the variety of games available will depend entirely on the individual online casino. Since UK online casinos tend to have more game developers, UK casino sites may likely offer more games than their US counterparts.

Both UK and US online casinos must follow strict rules and regulations. Casinos in the UK must follow the rules set out by the UK Gambling Commission which involve age limitations on those who can be added to VIP schemes, limitations on promotions including how many times the bonuses must be wagered and whether or not there are win caps.

Meanwhile, gambling in the United States is incredibly restricted due to tight regulation – in most US States, online gambling still hasn’t been legalised, but other gambling-related activities are completely fine. The regulation varies between the US States, but it seems that more states have begun green-lighting online gambling, so we may soon see more UK game developers and casino operators launch in the US.

Online gambling in the UK has been legal for a very long time, but in the US, it’s still growing and changing. There are plenty of differences between online casinos in the two countries but they both mainly offer customers a chance to play great games and maybe make some wins too.
