Pub Casino was new for 2023 and (the name is a clue!) is very much aimed at UK players.
Owned and operated by L&L Europe Limited, which is a reputable name in the online gambling industry, Pub Casino was founded in February 2023. Its parent company has a licence from both the UKGC (UK Gambling Commission) and the MGA (Malta Gaming Authority), which helps it to emphasise its credibility. Despite operating several other UK facing casinos including Fun Casino and All British Casino, L&L Europe are not that well known in the UK and you may well not have come across their platform before.
The casino cleverly combines its branding efforts with that of a typical ‘pub’ in terms of how it is designed and this is reflected nicely on the home page welcome banner which has branded beer taps in the background, with a drinks can up front and centre displaying the offer as well as dice, poker chips and cash surrounding it. One particularly distinctive feature is that all of the game tiles are in colour, but as soon you mouse over a tile (or touch it on mobile) it turns to vintage style black and white, really capturing the atmosphere of an old fashioned community pub.
As such, this makes for a contemporary yet nostalgic feel and you really get the sense of being in an adult environment, due to the pub theme and the gambling options that it offers.
The registration process at Pub Casino is particularly painless and straightforward and encompasses easy steps to get you to where you want to be. Clicking on ‘register’ will take you to a slick sign up area, that has four different slides where you need to fill in basic details. When it comes to making a deposit, this can be done instantly after completing your registration, using several different methods, including debit cards and e-wallets like PayPal, while you are not required to opt into the welcome offer. SMS verification is also available, adding an extra layer of security.
At Pub Casino, you will find a wide range of different slots and other games (over 1,000) from a variety of the best software providers in the industry. All of these games differ in terms of technical elements such as RTP (Return-to-Player) rate, volatility level plus minimum and maximum bet per spin. In addition, you will also find slots based on various themes as well as popular titles, such as Starburst, Book of Dead and the increasingly popular, Big Bass series.
The interface gives off a significantly plush and sleek vibe, especially from the way that the slots are displayed in grid format, set against a black background. With the dazzling aesthetics of the slot interfaces all next to each other, this really does give off, somewhat of a festive feel.
There is a designated, separate section for slots. When you scroll down the home page, you will come to an array of games and these are all under different menu headers. The main ‘placeholder’ advertising the games is classified as ‘popular games’ and includes a sample of a few from the different menus that follow from the left to right.
As a result, there is also a lobby for table games where you can find different versions of blackjack, roulette and baccarat, in addition to there being a standalone poker area. Also on this section of menus there is one for Slingo as well where you can also find a variety of different Slingo titles.
Furthermore, on a completely separate section of the site and visible from the top, you will find a live casino, which looks particularly cool with a similar setup to the homepage, though on the banner, the drinks can is red and the colour tone of the whole page in general is a little bit lighter. Meanwhile, when you scroll down you will be able to explore all of the live dealer options that are available.
Rather surprisingly, Pub Casino also has a sportsbook on a separate tab. It covers a wide range of sports and markets, while the theme continues onto this page as well. This time, the drinks can on the banner is blue and is surrounded by sporting miscellenea such as darts and golf balls.
In terms of what else you need to be aware of, the site offers great mobile functionality with it being easy to navigate, while there is even an iOS app that is highly rated by customers. Meanwhile, keep an eye on promotions at Pub Casino as these occur on a regular basis, however, if you opt into receiving offers when you sign up, you will get these automatically to your inbox. The promotions tab isn’t that easy to find – you need to scroll down to the bottom of the site and click on ‘news and promotions’, so it could be worth opting into this.
You will also find that customer support is available in the form of live chat, with relatively short waiting times in addition to there being an email address, while support by telephone is also available.
There is a variety of payment methods on offer, that include debit card (Visa and Mastercard), plus e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and Neteller as well as Paysafecard. The site is protected by SSL encryption technology as well for safety and privacy.
Overall, there is a lot to like about this novel casino, which is well designed and branded with a range of different options. However, unlike some brands there is a limited amount of slots and other games which hamstrings it slightly. As well as this, it doesn’t have a separate promotions tab that is clearly visible, suggesting that promotions isn’t a major focus. Despite this, the separate live casino and sportsbook lobbies make for a great bonus and provide even more entertainment value.

L&L Europe’s Responsible Gaming document takes a different (and arguably far superior) approach to some of the others you may have come across. It starts by answering the question “What is Responsible Gambling and how does it relate to me?” and goes on to explain how their Responsible Gaming Team will reach out once your activity hits one of their automated Responsible Gaming Thresholds and how the conversation might go and why. They also include two self assessment tests, one offsite and one onsite. There follows an explanation of affordability checks and how they relate to deposit limits and to data protection and privacy.
Only after all that do they come on to safer gambling tools and not just how to use them, but why and when to use them. As well as the usual deposit limits, they offer daily time limits, daily wagering limits and daily, weekly and monthly loss limits. Self exclusion applies to all L&L Europe sites, not just Pub Casino.
Finally there are the links to other sources of help including the new Gamcare initiative TalkBanStop.
Although it is just text and links with no fancy graphics, videos or other extras, this is actually one of the best Responsible Gaming pages we’ve come across.
