Founded way back in 2011, Online-Slot.co.uk is celebrating over 10 years online. One of the first slots-dedicated websites in the UK, it was created by two iGaming professionals who have over 25 years combined experienced.
With a passion for slot games, the site came about after playing slots at arcades and land-based casinos. Chris Taylor is Online-Slot.co.uk’s founder and has worked in the iGaming industry since 2004 in a variety of roles including for various bookmakers and reputable casino groups.
Online-Slot.co.uk was the first ever UK website to introduce age verification checks in the summer of 2019. This was introduced by the UK Gambling Commission to protect minors for accessing gambling sites.
Why Online-Slot.co.uk?
Online-Slot.co.uk is dedicated to providing detailed reviews and demos of all slot games found online in the UK. Speaking to founder Chris Taylor, the aim is to focus on the reader so they feel equipped with all the information necessary to be able to play slots online safely:
“As a slots player myself, Online-Slot.co.uk was setup purely for UK players. The aim is to break down an online slot by looking at what is behind the shiny graphics. This includes all the important details, look and feel (theme), bonus features and a summary/conclusion. Then the slot game is rated and compared against ones with a similar theme or mechanics or even better alternatives.”
With over 5,000 slot reviews available, there are demos for all games meaning you can play the game for free before to going on to play at the recommended and reputable UKGC casinos. There are slots from all the top slot providers, (over 60) including Nolimit City, Big Time Gaming, Microgaming, NetEnt and Play ‘n GO. Chris’ relationship with these providers is key:
“Working in the iGaming industry since 2004, I’ve got to know top providers like Playtech, Microgaming, Play ‘n GO, NetEnt and many others well. We have access to upcoming releases so we are always ‘in the know’ as to what’s being released. That said, our reviews is thorough and unbiased as we focus completely on the reader. With so many new releases all the time, all slots can’t be great so it’s only fair we convey the truth to our readers so they can make the best decision for themselves.”
