Reviews · six operators
One page each, criticism included.
The shortlist on the front page is deliberately terse. These write-ups are where the reasoning goes — including the parts an operator would rather we left out.
What a review here covers
Written to be read once, properly
Each review follows the same order: who runs the operator and since when, what the app situation actually is, how the lobby behaves on a phone, what the game range looks like, who supplies it, and how the welcome offer is structured. The score at the top is the one from the reference grid, and the text explains it rather than repeating it.
Where we are working from an editorial read rather than a documented fact, the wording says so. Two of the six brands here are small enough that their catalogues and promotions change quite often, and pretending otherwise would make the pages less useful, not more.
What none of them discuss
Payment methods, withdrawal timings and anything else involving the movement of money are outside what this site covers. If a question is about your balance, the operator's support team is the only place that can answer it.

NetBet 7.8/10
The largest catalogue on the shortlist, paired with the frustration of having no app and filters that were clearly designed for a smaller library.

Ken Howells 5.9/10
A stripped-back British site that asks very little of your phone. The trade-off is a short game list and support routes that stop at a contact form.

PokerStars Casino 8.7/10
Flutter-owned, poker-descended, and the most technically assured app of the six — with a few navigation habits inherited from the poker client.

Casumo 8.9/10
Top of the shortlist on lobby design alone. Trading since 2012, still setting the pattern other operators borrow for their mobile front ends.

Los Vegas 6.4/10
A modest slots site with a pun for a name. Better stocked than you would expect at this size, and almost useless at helping you search it.

Kwiff 8.5/10
Built app-first in 2017 and never really pretended otherwise. Strong on a handset, noticeably less considered once you open it on a laptop.

Reading the scores
Why the app column moves the number so much
Give two operators the same game range and the same live studio, and the one with a maintained native app will finish roughly a point ahead here. That is a deliberate choice, not an accident of the maths: the app is where the difference between a site you return to and a site you visit once tends to show up.
It also explains why the bottom two scores sit where they do. Neither Los Vegas nor Ken Howells is badly run, and both hold the same Gambling Commission licence as the four above them. They are marked down for what they never built, not for anything they got wrong.
A fuller account of the weighting sits in the method section on the front page, and the head-to-heads underneath it show the scoring applied in practice.
Links to operators on these review pages are commercial. If you register through one, Jackpot Draft may receive a commission from the operator at no cost to you. The scores, the criticism and the running order were all set before any tracking link went on the page, and we do not remove a negative line because a partner asks. The affiliate disclosure explains the arrangement in full.
Jackpot Draft is an independent comparison site. It is not a gambling operator, not a regulator, and not owned by or affiliated with any brand reviewed here. No games are offered, no bets are accepted and no money is handled on this site. Gambling is for over-18s only, outcomes are never guaranteed, and the operator's own terms override any summary written here.
