At Leedscitystompers.co.uk, every roulette site review you read has been personally researched, tested, and written by Richard Ainsworth. This page explains exactly how that process works, what criteria we measure, how we weight each factor, and why you can trust our scores to reflect a genuine, unbiased assessment of each platform.
We are not affiliated with any casino operator. We do not accept payment in exchange for higher scores. Our only goal is to help UK players find roulette sites that are safe, fair, and genuinely enjoyable to use.
Richard creates a real account using his own personal details and goes through the full KYC (Know Your Customer) process. This tells us immediately how smooth onboarding is and whether the site asks for documentation at a reasonable stage rather than only when you try to withdraw.
Every reviewed site receives a genuine deposit from Richard's own funds. We test at least two different payment methods where possible — typically a debit card and a digital wallet — to see how fast transactions process and whether any hidden fees appear.
Richard plays a range of roulette variants available on the site, including both RNG (Random Number Generator) and live dealer options. He notes game loading speed, table limits (including low-stakes and high-roller options), software quality, and the authenticity of the live studio experience.
Where a welcome bonus or roulette-specific promotion is available, Richard claims it and reads the full terms and conditions. He checks wagering requirements, game contribution rates, time limits, and maximum bet rules to give you an accurate picture of real-world bonus value.
Richard contacts the support team with a genuine question via live chat and, where available, email. He records response times, the quality of the answer, and whether the agent was knowledgeable about roulette-specific queries.
Every site is tested on a mobile device — both through the browser and via a dedicated app where one exists. Richard checks whether the roulette lobby is easy to navigate, whether live dealer games stream without buffering, and whether the betting interface works comfortably on a smaller screen.
Richard withdraws at least a portion of his balance and records how long the process takes, what verification steps are triggered, and whether the amount received matches what was requested.
After completing all testing steps, Richard scores each site across six core criteria. These scores are combined using the weightings below to produce a final rating out of 10.
| Criteria | Weighting | What We Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Safety | 25% | UK Gambling Commission licence status, responsible gambling tools, SSL encryption, fair gaming certifications |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, roulette contribution rates, ongoing promotions |
| Game Selection | 20% | Number of roulette variants, live dealer tables, software providers, table limit range |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Deposit and withdrawal options, processing speeds, fees, minimum and maximum limits |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability, response time, quality of answers, contact channels offered |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | App or browser performance, roulette lobby usability, live stream quality on mobile |
All sites on Leedscitystompers.co.uk are scored on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is what each range means in practice:
Independence is central to everything we publish. Richard Ainsworth funds all test deposits personally and is never reimbursed by casino operators in exchange for a review. While Leedscitystompers.co.uk may earn affiliate commission when a reader clicks through and signs up to a site, this has no influence on the score awarded. Sites that pay higher commission rates do not receive higher ratings — our methodology and scoring criteria remain fixed regardless of commercial relationships.
Reviews are updated regularly. If a site changes its terms, loses its UKGC licence, or significantly alters its bonus structure, Richard revisits the review and adjusts the score to reflect the current reality. Our readers in Great Britain deserve up-to-date information they can rely on, and we take that responsibility seriously.
