About MrMega

MrMega is a comparison site for online casinos and sportsbooks, covering the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. We exist because most of the information available about these brands is either operator marketing or thin, unsourced review content. We do something different: we rate every brand from public, verifiable data and the operator’s own terms, and we show you the regulatory record other sites bury.

What we do

We assess each casino and sportsbook against the MrMega Trust Index, weighting the things that protect your money most: the licence and regulatory record, payments, player protection, game quality, bonus fairness and reputation. For offshore markets such as Ireland and Canada, we expose who actually runs each brand and which licences are shared. The full method is on the How We Rate page.

Our standards

Every page is sourced and fact-checked against primary records such as the UK Gambling Commission register. We do not claim experiences we have not had, we do not accept operator payment for placement, and we are transparent about how we earn on the How We Make Money page.

The team

Our reviews and guides are written by Jinor Peter, Simon Copperstone and Angjela Adjievska, and fact-checked by Ernest Bowes. You can read about each of them on the authors page.

Contact and corrections

If you see something on a MrMega page that does not match your own experience at a brand we cover, tell us through the contact form. We will not change a rating because an operator asks, but we will correct a genuine factual error if you can point to it.

How we rate every brand: the MrMega Trust Index

Every brand on MrMega is assessed through a structured framework we call the Trust Index. This is not a star rating based on personal preference. It is a checklist of verifiable evidence, drawn from three primary sources that any reader can inspect independently: the public licence register, the live lobby terms on the operator site, and the cashier or deposit page.

The Trust Index rests on four evidence pillars. First, regulatory standing: we check the operator’s licence status on the UK Gambling Commission public register, the Irish Revenue Commissioners register, or the relevant provincial regulator in Canada. A brand with a suspended, lapsed or conditioned licence is flagged immediately. Second, terms integrity: we read the full promotional terms, the withdrawal policy and the general terms of use. We look for hidden wagering multipliers, confiscation clauses that activate without notice, and withdrawal caps buried in sub-pages. Third, payment transparency: we check the cashier page for deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times and any fees the operator discloses or omits. Fourth, ownership clarity: we trace the operating company and confirm it matches the entity named on the licence register. Opaque or conflicting ownership is a material negative.

Each pillar produces a simple signal: the brand meets the standard, falls short, or we cannot verify the claim. The Trust Index surfaces what the evidence shows, not what a marketing page promises. When an operator changes its terms or licence status, the Index entry is updated. No score is permanent.

The markets and verticals we cover

MrMega covers three regulated gambling markets: the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. These jurisdictions share a common feature that matters for consumer comparison: each requires operators to hold a domestic licence, and each publishes a public register where that licence can be verified.

Within each market we cover two verticals. The first is online casino, where we examine slot libraries, table game provision, live dealer studios and the software suppliers behind them. The second is online sportsbook, where we look at pre-match and in-play markets, margin structure, bet builder tools and the cash-out policies that differ materially between operators.

Coverage is not uniform across all three markets. A brand that holds a UKGC licence may not operate in Ireland or Ontario. We note the specific jurisdictions where each brand is available, because a recommendation that works for a reader in Manchester may be irrelevant or unlawful for a reader in Dublin or Toronto.

Why we focus on who actually runs each brand

Many online gambling brands look independent. They have distinct logos, colour palettes and welcome offers. But a significant number share the same operating platform, the same licence, the same cashier and the same withdrawal queue. The consumer who opens accounts with three different brands may, in practice, be dealing with one operator behind three front doors.

This matters for several reasons. Withdrawal limits and responsible gambling tools are typically set at the operator level, not the brand level. A self-exclusion or deposit limit applied on one brand may or may not carry across to a sister brand, depending on the operator’s internal systems. And when a regulatory action is taken, it is taken against the operating company, not against the consumer-facing brand name.

We map these connections. When we review a brand, we identify the operating company, the licence number and the platform provider where that information is publicly available. If a brand sits alongside others under the same operator umbrella, we disclose the relationship. The reader should know whether they are spreading risk across genuinely separate operators or concentrating it under one roof.

Our editorial independence

MrMega earns revenue through commercial arrangements with some of the brands it covers. That fact is not hidden. But it does not determine what we publish. No operator can pay to appear on a list. No operator can pay to change a Trust Index assessment or to have a section rewritten. The evidence drives the output.

This separation is structural. The people who negotiate commercial agreements do not write editorial content and do not have access to drafts before publication. The people who write editorial content do not know the commercial terms attached to any brand at the time of writing. An operator who disagrees with a finding can submit evidence for correction, but the correction process uses the same evidence standard as the original review: the public register, the live site and the documented terms.

We do not accept free play, hospitality, travel or any other benefit from operators. We do not place funded bets for the purpose of testing. Every factual claim on MrMega must be traceable to a public, citable source. If a reader finds a claim that cannot be verified, we want to hear about it, because that is a failure of the standard we set for ourselves.
