Who we are
Legaro Casino Review was established in 2026 in London by four people who were tired of casino "reviews" that were really rewritten press releases. We open real accounts, deposit our own money, request real withdrawals and time them. Then we publish the numbers, including the ones brands would rather we did not.
We are an information resource. We are not an operator, we hold no gambling licence because we need none, and we never take a deposit or a wager from anyone.
Our principles
If an operator does not hold a current UK Gambling Commission licence, it does not appear here. No exceptions, no offshore listings, no grey markets.
Every account is funded from our own budget. We never accept a comped balance, a boosted account or a "reviewer" status from an operator.
Commercial arrangements exist and we disclose them. They have no influence on scores, order or wording. A brand cannot buy a better number.
Every view of this website carries an 18+ marker. Nothing we publish is styled, worded or illustrated in a way that could appeal to under-18s.
Slow weekend payouts, overnight support gaps, buried controls. If we measured it and it was poor, it goes in the review.
Reviews are re-checked each quarter. If something changes, or we get something wrong, we update the page and say what changed.
Method
Each brand passes through a fixed 42-point checklist. Nothing is scored from a screenshot or a marketing page.
We locate the operating company on the Gambling Commission public register, record the account number and confirm the domain is covered. If the reference does not resolve, the review stops there.
Three separate accounts, three different verification profiles. We time age and identity checks from submission to confirmation and note whether documents are handled inside a secure account area.
Accounts are funded with our own money at ordinary amounts. We then request at least five withdrawals across weekdays and weekends, timestamping request and arrival for each.
We ask live chat five questions with verifiable answers, including at least one deliberately awkward one about wagering terms. We record connection time and whether the answer matched the published terms.
We set and reduce deposit limits, trigger reality checks, take a time-out and confirm that limit increases enter the required cooling-off period. We check GAMSTOP is honoured at login.
Five weighted categories produce the overall figure. A second member of the desk checks the evidence before publication. Brands see the review at the same time you do.
An honest limitation. Our figures describe what happened to our accounts during a defined window. Payout speed and verification can vary by payment method, amount and individual circumstances. Treat our numbers as a well-evidenced guide, not a guarantee.
