New casino sites arrive in the UK like buses: nothing for a month, then four at once, each with a bigger headline than the last. I have opened accounts at most of them since 2019, and the pattern is always the same. The launch offer is generous, the lobby is a familiar platform in a new coat, and the question that matters is who holds the licence, because a brand can be six weeks old while the company behind it has been fined twice.
So this guide to new online casinos in the UK starts with the Gambling Commission register rather than the press release. Every brand below is checked against it; where a site runs as a white label on another company’s licence, we say so, and where we could not confirm an operator we leave the brand out. The welcome offers come from our verified sheet, not from screenshots, and the ones we have played at link to a full review.
New UK casino sites in 2026: our shortlist
Betsuna, Mega Riches, MogoBet, Myriad Play, Luna Casino and 7bet are the new casino sites in the UK worth opening this year, ranked on the licence behind them, the honesty of the welcome offer and what we found when we played. Newer brands compete on wager-free spins, low minimums and faster payouts rather than lobby size, which is why Mega Riches already sits in our casino top ten.

The five newest casinos in detail
Betsuna
The newest name on the register
Betsuna launched in 2026 as a white-label brand on ProgressPlay Limited’s licence, with a casino and a sportsbook on one wallet. The casino welcome is up to £100 plus 50 free spins, with 10x wagering on the bonus within 30 days and on spin winnings within seven, counted on bonus bets only; the sports side gives a £50 free bet for a £10 bet with 1x wagering. ProgressPlay has a Commission sanction on its record, which is worth knowing; the licence itself is active and the brand is clean so far.
Mega Riches
The one that made our top ten
Launched in 2024 by Videoslots Limited, Mega Riches arrived with more than 9,000 games from 25-plus studios, seven live casino studios and a sportsbook, and paid our PayPal withdrawal in about five minutes. The welcome match is modest, up to £25 plus 50 spins at 10x, and must be activated in My Bonuses before you place a bet. It is the rare new casino whose product is the reason to join.
MogoBet
Casino and sports from day one
Another ProgressPlay white label from 2026: up to £50 plus 20 free spins on the casino with 10x wagering and a £50 conversion cap, and bet £10 to get a £30 free bet on the sportsbook with 1x wagering. A compact site built for one-account play; deposit the minimum and read the cap before the headline.
Myriad Play
A curated lobby from Aspire Global
Myriad Play has run since 2024 on AG Communications Limited’s licence with dual UK and Malta regulation, more than 1,000 handpicked games from NetEnt, Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play and Yggdrasil, live tables and a 100% match up to £50. Its own site describes it as built for control and variety; our review will say whether the payouts match.
Luna Casino and 7bet
Simple offers, short terms
Luna leads with a 100% match up to £50 plus 50 spins on Book of Dead with the code LUNA, 10x wagering on slots only within 30 days, and a rule we like: the bonus never blocks a withdrawal of your deposit balance. 7bet, on ProgressPlay’s licence, gives 100 spins on Big Bass Splash for a £20 deposit and stake with the code WELCOME100, 1x wagering and a £100 cap. Neither is a big lobby; both are honest starts.

How to judge a new casino in ten minutes
- Find the licence line in the footer Then look the account number up on the Gambling Commission register. No number, no deposit.
- Check who holds it A white label on a big licence is normal; a licence holder with recent sanctions is worth knowing about.
- Read the cap, not the headline A £1,000 welcome with a £50 conversion cap is a £50 welcome.
- Deposit the minimum New sites rarely add spins for bigger deposits; they add wagering.
- Withdraw early A small withdrawal on day two tells you more than any review.
New sites you will see ranked elsewhere
Puntit, Smooth Spins, Ivy Casino, GeckoPlay, Onyx Slots and Betnero appear on other new-casino lists. We could not confirm operators or current status for them from the register or the operators themselves at the time of writing (the register lists puntit.co.uk as inactive under BV Gaming), so they are not in our table. BetMGM, launched in the UK in late 2023, and MrQ are established enough that we treat them as ordinary casinos rather than newcomers; neither is reviewed here yet.
New casino site FAQs
What is the newest casino in the UK?
Of the sites we have verified, Betsuna and MogoBet, both 2026 launches on ProgressPlay Limited’s licence.
Are new casinos safe?
If they hold a Gambling Commission licence, they must meet the same rules as bet365: segregated funds, identity checks, deposit limits and GamStop. Check the account number on the register.
Do new casinos have better bonuses?
Louder ones. The honest measure is wagering and caps: 7bet’s 1x wagering is genuinely better than most; a £1,000 headline with a £50 cap is not.
What is a white-label casino?
A brand run on another company’s licence and platform. Betsuna and MogoBet are white labels of ProgressPlay; it is common and legal, and the licence holder is the company you are dealing with.
Which new casino has the most games?
Mega Riches, with more than 9,000.
Should I join a new casino or an established one?
Both, if you like: take the new site’s welcome at the minimum, keep an established account for depth and support.
New games to try at a new casino
A new casino is usually the first place a new slot appears, because launch lobbies are built around the studios that are winning this year rather than the ones that won in 2015. The games below are the ones named in current welcome offers on our verified sheet, which means they are live at UK-licensed sites and are what the operators themselves want you to try first.
| Game | Studio | Where it is the welcome-offer game | What it plays like |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Bass Splash | Pragmatic Play | 32Red, Unibet, Fun Casino, Regal Wins, 7bet | The fishing series at its most volatile: collect fisherman wilds, multiply the catch |
| Big Bass Hold & Spinner | Pragmatic Play / Reel Kingdom | Rialto Casino | The hold-and-spin version; cash fish lock and respin |
| Le Bandit | Hacksaw Gaming | All British Casino | A wild-west grid slot with cluster wins and a bandit who multiplies them |
| Wanted Dead or a Wild | Hacksaw Gaming | Regal Wins (bonus games) | Cinematic western with three distinct bonus rounds |
| Pirots 3 | ELK Studios | Regal Wins (bonus games) | Four parrots collect gems across an expanding grid, with progress that carries through the round like a video game |
| Gold Blitz Ultimate | Games Global | Betway Casino, JackpotCity | Hold-and-win with fixed jackpots and a lightning-fast pace |
| Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 Rapid Fire Jackpots | Blueprint | Regal Wins | The UK’s favourite fishing series with a jackpot layer |
| King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4 | Blueprint | Mecca Bingo (slots route) | Modifiers, monkey business and a bigger-bananas bonus |
| Octobeer Fortune | Pragmatic Play | Pub Casino | Pub-themed hold-and-win; fitting for the site |
| Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War | Pragmatic Play | Onyx Slots (not on our sheet) | Two-mode slot with gods, wilds and a battle bonus |
| Book of Dead | Play’n GO | Luna Casino, Bluefox, Jackpot Village, Winissimo | The expanding-symbol classic every new lobby still leads with |
| Starburst | NetEnt | Videoslots (welcome spins) | Low volatility, both-ways wins; the slot that taught a generation the reels |
What makes the newer studios different is structure. ELK’s Pirots and Hacksaw’s westerns play like small video games, with characters, progress that builds across a bonus round, collectable features and a story to the session, where a 2015 slot was three reels and a hope. UK versions strip out the feature-buy buttons the same games carry abroad, which is a Commission rule, not a casino choice, so the progress has to be earned on the reels. If your regular site has not added these studios, a new casino is the easiest way to play them.
A PlayGuy note on why new casinos are worth your time
Two honest reasons. The first is that you have probably used the welcome offers at the old sites already: a new customer bonus is a one-time thing per operator, and a new brand on a fresh licence, or even a new white label on an old one, is a new customer bonus you can actually claim. The second is that the fear of new casinos is mostly misplaced. Every site in our table holds a Gambling Commission licence with the same obligations as bet365, and most belong to companies you already know: Mega Riches is Videoslots, Betsuna and MogoBet are ProgressPlay, Myriad Play is Aspire Global, The Vic and Rialto are the Rank Group. They are the same businesses differentiating a product, a fresh layout, a new skin, a lobby weighted to ELK, Hacksaw and Nolimit rather than the studios of a decade ago, and a welcome written for phones. Take the bonus at the minimum, keep the old account for its depth, and enjoy being a new customer again.
Which new casino is right for you
- If you want the product, not the bonus: Mega Riches. More than 9,000 games, seven live studios, a sportsbook and PayPal in minutes; the £25 match is almost beside the point.
- If you bet on sport too: Betsuna or MogoBet, both with a casino welcome and a 1x-wagering free bet on the same wallet.
- If you want the kindest wagering: 7bet, whose 100 spins carry 1x wagering and a £100 cap, the fairest small-casino welcome of the year.
- If you like a curated lobby: Myriad Play, a thousand handpicked games on Aspire Global’s licence rather than a ten-thousand-game store.
- If new means new to you: The Vic and Rialto, launched in 2021 and 2022 on the Rank Group licence, are still the newest sites with a real London casino behind them and fifteen-minute payouts in front.
How we tested
We opened an account at every new site in the table within its first months, deposited the minimum, took the welcome offer, played the lobby on a phone and a laptop, and made a withdrawal. New sites are re-checked more often than established ones because offers, platforms and even licence holders change in the first year.
Every site here holds a Gambling Commission licence, which we check on the public register rather than in the footer, and every offer is copied from the operator’s own terms, then re-checked at the start of each month. Where a brand runs on another company’s licence we say so, and where we could not confirm an operator we leave the brand out rather than guess.
What the UK rules mean for new casinos
Since January 2026 a UK-licensed casino cannot ask for more than 10x wagering on a bonus, online slot stakes are capped at £5 a spin (£2 for 18 to 24-year-olds), credit cards cannot be used to deposit and bonus-buy features are off. New brands are bound by exactly the same rules as bet365 from their first day, which is why the register check matters more than the launch date.
A brand launched last month on a licence granted a decade ago has the operator’s history behind it, good and bad; ProgressPlay, for instance, carries a Commission sanction, which we mention wherever its white labels appear. Deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and GamStop self-exclusion sit in every account from day one; setting a limit before the first deposit is the one habit we would press on anyone reading this.
Mistakes to avoid
- Judging a new casino by its headline bonus rather than its conversion cap.
- Opening every new site at once and spreading a small bankroll across five welcome offers you cannot clear.
- Trusting a new-casino list that does not name the licence holder.
- Withdrawing while a bonus is active without checking whether it forfeits the bonus; winnings from wager-free spins are cash and unaffected, bonus balances usually are not.
- Chasing a cap: a bonus capped at £50 or £100 stops being a bonus above that line, however well it runs.
A last word
New casinos are worth a look every few months, at the minimum deposit, with a withdrawal on day two. The ones that survive that test, as Mega Riches did, earn a place next to the old names; the ones that do not are easy to walk away from. Alex.
