Which betting sites are actually worth bothering with these days?

Been out of the loop for about six months after the bank account took a proper hammering, but I'm looking to have another go with a bit more sense this time. Problem is I can't remember which sites I actually rated and which ones were doing my head in with verification every five minutes or taking ages to pay out.

I'm not fussed about having a million games or anything flash, just want somewhere that doesn't mess you about when you win and has decent slots. Had a look at what's out there now and honestly it's overwhelming - half of them look identical and the other half I've never heard of.

What I'm really after is places that treat you like a human being, you know? Not somewhere that'll ask for three forms of ID every time you breathe. So I've been trying to sort through the options based on what actually matters - here's how I'd rank them so far:

Here's how they ranked for me.

Lucki casino's been solid for me the last few months mate. Withdrew a few times and it's always been pretty straightforward - none of that "we need another document" nonsense after you've already verified. The slots selection is decent enough, nothing groundbreaking but all the standard ones you'd expect.

Only minor gripe is customer service can be a bit slow to respond outside of peak hours, but they've always sorted things when I've needed them. Would definitely recommend giving them a go if you want somewhere reliable.

Honestly the whole lot of them are much of a muchness these days aren't they? I've been through about five different sites in the last year and they all blend into one. What I would say is check the withdrawal methods before you sign up, because some of them only let you take money out the exact same way you put it in and that can be a right pain if you used a card you've since cancelled or whatever.

I've been using Kaasino since around Christmas and no major complaints. Verification was a one-time thing when I signed up, uploaded my licence and a bank statement, all approved in a few hours. Payouts have been quick enough - usually in my account within a day or so.

The game selection's pretty good, lots of providers. Haven't had to contact support yet though so can't comment on that side of things.

Kingdom Casino is where I've been lately. They're pretty straightforward, though I did have to reverify once when I requested a bigger withdrawal than usual, but it wasn't too painful. Games run smoothly on mobile which is mostly where I play.

One thing I'd say is their layout takes a bit of getting used to - it's not as intuitive as some others I've tried. But once you know where everything is it's fine. Definitely one of the better ones for actually getting your money out without a saga.

Don't forget to check if they've got a UKGC licence before you hand over any cash. I know it sounds obvious but I've seen people on here get caught out by places that look legitimate but aren't properly regulated. Should say at the bottom of their homepage. If it's not there, swerve it.
