It's owned by LeoVegas, which in itself is actually quite a big betting network. But, their 21.co.uk brand is basically just so-so.

Guess, the main purpose of LeoVegas was to create a site that could help target the live casino traffic in the UK, on Google.

Anyway, that's not my concern. You're probably here to find out if they're worth a go.

Yes, of course they are. It's a legit UK betting site, run by a group of people, who have been doing this for years. There's nothing to worry about their realness, if that's the thing that's bothering you.

They even got a show on Channel 4 called Deal or no Deal, so I don't know what else I can write to make them sound more genuine.

Want to do the basics? I would be quick.

Let's start with their live casino. All games there are managed by Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play, which are considered celebrities of live gambling services.

Their standard casino has all the goodies, and with over 400 slot titles, ability to play blackjack, roulette, baccarat etc., there's little else that can be said.

Slingo is something popular on slot sites in the UK. It has that too, along with jackpot games. Every kind of gambling game that's possible under the supervision of the UKGC, is offered at 21.co.uk.

Min. deposit and withdraw is set at £10. You can use PayPal, Visa and Mastercard debit cards. Withdrawals are done anywhere between a few hours (PP) to a few days (bank transfers).

Live chat is not great, but not very bad either. At least they got local support working in the UK, that makes sure you get a localish environment, when talking to someone. FAQ answers the newbie-questions just about right.

Being 100% legal in the UK (under the UKGC license), you can actually download an iOS and Android app from their site. The performance of their apps, is not perfect, but also does not hop on the subpar bandwagon.

Bonus-wise - due to UKGC restrictions - all UK betting sites are lame. This one is no different. Offers only £6 for new players, and that too with a 40X wagering requirement. I would just advise not to take it.

There are plenty of alternative options available against 21.co.uk, if you live the UK and all, such as sports betting focused bet365 and the world's largest exchange Betfair etc., but as a slots-specific, or a live-casino focused site, it does its job, quite well, if not exceptionally.

Cya.

Why should Claire's review be trusted?

• Completed Gaming Management Program from the University of Nevada Reno. This gives her the ability to evaluate gambling establishments on technical grounds.
• Worked for three years at the UKGC as a compliance manager at their Birmingham, West Midlands office. This means she knows the ins and outs of what makes up a good law-abiding gambling site.
• Completed an online course on Ethics and Ethical-Decision Making Essentials from Udemy, which serves as a guide for her when writing true reviews, without taking sides.

A word from the author:

To make this review fair, transparent and to remove any sponsorship bias, I allocated anywhere between $500 (for casual betting) to $25,000 (for evaluating the quality of the high-roller gambling services) out of my own pocket for testing the browser-based platform and the app (where available) of this betting site.

• This money was spent on online casino games and sports betting, depending on what the place is primarily known for. For example, certain brands only cater to slots, while others are predominantly sportsbooks.
• My tests involved all the processes, such as initial deposit and accepting welcome bonuses, KYC, an actual experience of playing the games, and finally withdrawing my winnings, if any.

Legally Binding Oath: I hereby declare that the above made statements are true to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that I understand it may be used as evidence in court and is subject to penalty for perjury.
