A £10 debit card deposit and five minutes of sign-up are enough to find out whether 31bets casino fits the way you play. You pay in pounds, you play in a mobile browser, and slots, live dealer tables and a sportsbook sit behind one login. The licence deserves a check first.
31bets states that it holds a UK Gambling Commission licence. Copy the licence number from the site footer into the UKGC public register and confirm the company name matches. A valid entry puts GamStop, ID checks and an independent complaints route behind your account. If a complaint stalls with 31bets, you can send it to an approved ADR service. 31bets casino UK accounts run in GBP, so your bank adds no conversion fee.
The lobby covers slots, live casino, table games and a sportsbook. Slots come from NetEnt, Pragmatic Play and Play'n GO, and Evolution supplies the live tables. Deposits start at £10.
Press Sign Up in the top corner of the homepage and enter your email, a password, your full name, date of birth and UK address. Type the address as it appears on your bank statement, because a mismatch slows verification. Tick the terms box and the account opens. 31bets checks your name, address and age against third-party databases at this step, as the UKGC requires before you gamble.
Withdrawals can trigger a request for a passport or driving licence photo and a recent utility bill. Upload both after sign-up and your first cash-out will not stall on paperwork. Log in later with your email and password. A forgotten password sends a reset link to the email on file, and you should switch on two-factor authentication if the account settings offer it.
New UK customers receive a 100% match up to £100 plus 50 free spins on a first deposit. Deposit £50 and you start with £100 to play. The 10x wagering requirement means you place £500 in bets on a £50 bonus before you can withdraw it. Opt in at the cashier when you deposit, because the bonus does not apply afterwards.
| Offer | Reward | Wagering | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome bonus | 100% up to £100 + 50 free spins | 10x bonus | 7 days |
| Weekly reload | 25% up to £50 | 10x bonus | 7 days |
| Cashback | 10% of weekly net losses, up to £50 | None | Paid as cash |
I prefer the cashback to the match bonus. It carries no wagering, so you withdraw it without doing any sums. Offers change, so read the promotions page before you opt in.
Starburst from NetEnt runs at 96.09% RTP and suits small stakes. Book of Dead from Play'n GO has a 96.21% RTP and high volatility, so expect long dry runs between big wins. Big Bass Bonanza from Pragmatic Play lifts that to 96.71%. Rainbow Riches, a fixture in British pubs and bookies, sits at 95%, the lowest of the four. Filter the lobby by provider and check the RTP in each game's info panel before you pick.
Evolution streams the live tables in HD. Lightning Roulette pays 50x to 500x on its lucky numbers and carries a 97.30% RTP. Crazy Time, a wheel game with four bonus rounds, returns 96.08%. Live blackjack tables take a seat at different stakes, so you can match one to your budget.
European roulette has a single zero, which gives the house a 2.7% edge. American roulette adds a double zero and doubles that edge, so pick the European wheel. Blackjack drops below a 1% house edge if you follow basic strategy. Baccarat completes the set for players who like a quick banker-or-player decision.
The sportsbook covers Premier League and Championship football, tennis, golf, esports and horse racing. Racing markets include UK meetings and each-way terms on the bet slip. Click an odds button to add the selection, enter your stake and confirm. Casino bonuses do not apply to sports bets.
The UK Gambling Commission banned credit cards for gambling in April 2020, so use a Visa or Mastercard debit card. Open Banking and Faster Payments move money from your bank account with no card details. Pay by Phone (Boku) charges deposits to your phone bill and works for small top-ups only. Withdrawals go back to the method you deposited with, so Boku players need a second route for cashing out.
| Method | Deposit | Withdrawal |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | Immediate | Within 24 hours |
| Visa / Mastercard debit | Immediate | 1 to 3 business days |
| Open Banking / Faster Payments | Immediate | Up to 1 business day |
| Pay by Phone (Boku) | Immediate, charged to phone bill | Not offered |
| Bank transfer | 1 to 3 business days | Up to 3 business days |
I pick PayPal for withdrawals. It clears within a day, while a debit card can take until the following Wednesday if you cash out on a Friday evening.
31bets runs in Safari or Chrome on iPhone and Android, with no download. The lobby, cashier and live tables all load in the browser. Slots play in portrait, and live tables look better in landscape. Add the site to your home screen from the browser's share menu to get an app-style shortcut.
Open live chat from the button at the bottom right of the screen for the quickest answer. Email suits longer problems, such as a document upload or a disputed bonus balance, and replies arrive within 24 hours. Send your username and a screenshot with the first message to save a round of questions.
Set a deposit limit before your first payment. The account settings also offer loss limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion. GamStop blocks you from every UKGC-licensed site for six months, one year or five years in one registration. BeGambleAware.org gives free advice, and the National Gambling Helpline answers on 0808 8020 133 at any hour. You must be 18 or over to play.
31bets suits you if you want PayPal withdrawals, a bonus with a 10x requirement and a sportsbook next to the slots. It suits you less if you want Boku for cashing out or a bonus with no wagering on the welcome offer. Check the licence number, set your limits and start with the £10 minimum.
