How We Rate Roulette Sites: Our Review Methodology

Our Commitment to Honest, Independent Reviews

At Kevanbrooksltd.co.uk, every roulette site review you read is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out by site owner and lead reviewer James Whitfield. James has spent years studying the UK online gambling landscape, and he personally tests every platform featured on this site before a single word of a review is written. No site pays to appear here. No operator influences our scores. What you read is what James genuinely found when he sat down, deposited real money, and played.

This page explains exactly how that process works — from the first visit to a site through to the final rating that appears in our reviews. We believe you deserve to know how we reach our conclusions, so you can decide how much weight to give them.

Step-by-Step: How James Whitfield Reviews a Roulette Site

Step 1: Checking Licensing and Legal Standing

Before anything else, James verifies that the site holds a valid licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). Any platform that cannot demonstrate active UKGC authorisation is immediately excluded from our recommendations. James cross-references every licence number directly on the UKGC public register to confirm its current status. He also reviews the operator's responsible gambling tools, self-exclusion options, and links to services such as GamStop and BeGambleAware.

Step 2: Claiming and Testing Bonuses

James reads the full terms and conditions of every welcome offer and ongoing promotion — not just the headline figure. He pays close attention to wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and maximum withdrawal caps. Where possible, he claims the bonus using his own funds to observe the real player experience from start to finish.

Step 3: Evaluating the Roulette Game Library

As a roulette-focused site, this is where James spends a significant amount of time. He catalogues every roulette variant available, noting whether the site offers European, French, and American versions, as well as live dealer tables. He plays multiple sessions across different game types to assess software quality, RTP accuracy, loading speeds, and the overall experience at the table.

Step 4: Testing Deposits and Withdrawals

James makes real deposits and requests real withdrawals using the payment methods available on each site. He records how long each transaction takes, checks for hidden fees, and assesses the range of options available to UK players, including debit cards, e-wallets, and bank transfers. The 2026 UK prohibition on credit card gambling is also verified as correctly enforced.

Step 5: Contacting Customer Support

James contacts the support team through every available channel — live chat, email, and telephone where offered. He submits genuine queries and records response times, accuracy of answers, and the overall helpfulness of the team. He tests support at different times of day to get a realistic picture of availability.

Step 6: Assessing the Mobile Experience

Every site is tested on both a smartphone browser and, where available, a dedicated app. James evaluates how well the roulette games perform on a smaller screen, how intuitive the navigation is, and whether all key features — including deposits, withdrawals, and support — are accessible on mobile.
