About The Tartan Reel

What We Do

The Tartan Reel covers the UK live dealer casino market. We assess UKGC-licensed operators on the things that actually matter to players: streaming quality, dealer professionalism, table variety, withdrawal speed and responsible gambling provision.

We focus exclusively on live casino. While most review sites cover everything from slots to sports betting, we concentrate on the live dealer experience because it deserves dedicated, specialist attention. The difference between a good live casino and a poor one is substantial, and general-purpose reviews rarely capture it.

Editorial Approach

Every operator we feature has been assessed against the same criteria. We look at the live casino lobby, test the streaming on both desktop and mobile, check table limits, evaluate the dealer interaction and review the payment and withdrawal process.

We do not publish unverified claims about table counts or payout speeds. Where we cite specific figures, they come from direct observation or the operator's own published data. Where information is uncertain, we say so.

Our content is updated regularly. The live casino market moves quickly — operators add providers, launch new table types and change their terms. We review our listings at least quarterly to ensure accuracy.

Why Trust Us

We are a small, focused editorial team. We do not accept payment from operators in exchange for positive coverage. Our recommendations are based on the quality of the live casino product, not on commercial arrangements.

That said, we are transparent about how we earn revenue. See the affiliate disclosure below for full details.
