Our Review

Editor’s verdict

The Online Casino is a UKGC-licensed casino run by ProgressPlay (account 39335), with a wide game selection, PayPal and Trustly support and a low minimum deposit. The operator’s 2025 UKGC fine means expect thorough identity and source-of-funds checks.

The Online Casino offers a broad selection of slots, table games and live casino titles alongside a range of banking options. It is a ProgressPlay Limited brand, licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (account 39335) — see the licensing section below. It provides a straightforward platform with a competitive welcome offer and an accessible user experience.

The Online Casino lists availability across a wide range of countries in our data, alongside 15 supported payment methods. Our own trust-metric review scores it well on licensing-adjacent factors like security and mobile experience, though support responsiveness scores lower than many operators we track — worth weighing against its game variety and promotions before choosing it over larger, more established brands.

UK Gambling Commission licence

The Online Casino is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the UK Gambling Commission under account number 39335, held by ProgressPlay Limited, and also holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence (MGA/B2C/231/2012). We checked the Commission’s public register: theonlinecasino.co.uk is listed there as a white-label domain under ProgressPlay’s account. The licence belongs to ProgressPlay rather than to the brand, so that is the name to use in any complaint.

The Gambling Commission has taken enforcement action against ProgressPlay twice: a £175,718 penalty in 2022 and a £1,000,000 penalty announced in August 2025 over anti-money-laundering and social responsibility failings, together with a licence review and a required third-party audit. The licence remains active. Expect thorough identity and source-of-funds checks at any ProgressPlay brand.

To check it yourself, search account number 39335 on the Gambling Commission’s public register and confirm the brand’s domain is listed under the licensee.

Code SWEET

How this bonus works

A one-time offer for new players, usually credited after your first deposit.

  1. The offer is credited automatically once you qualify — see the terms below for exactly how.
  2. Enter the code SWEET when you deposit, if the operator's cashier asks for one.
  3. We don't have a wagering requirement on file for this offer — that is the single biggest factor in whether a bonus is worth claiming, so confirm it on the operator's own terms page before you deposit.
  4. Bonus funds are usually kept separate from your own deposited money, and withdrawing before wagering is complete typically forfeits the bonus and its winnings — always the case worth checking in the full terms.
