• Noteworthy

  The white-label unwind. The clearest trend of the month. White Hat Gaming's exit of Karamba, Hopa, Griffon and Bettarget on 27 August is significant — these are established consumer brands, not shell domains. Combined with Grace Media and ProgressPlay's ongoing pruning, the UK white-label model looks to be shrinking meaningfully.

  Slow bleed in land-based. Nearly half of August's removals were AGC operators, family entertainment centres and machine suppliers, many holding legacy account numbers in the low thousands. That points to genuine closures rather than corporate restructuring.

  Charity lotteries in flux. Dogs Trust arrived and Newcastle Cathedral joined, while Princess Alice Hospice Lottery left. Several hospices and the Fire Fighters Charity added new fulfilment domains, suggesting a shift of platform providers across the sector.

  A handful of genuine launches. Midnite going fully live, plus proper.bet, brillbet.co.uk, bettabet.co.uk and casinogo.com, show new remote entrants still coming through — though far fewer than are leaving.

  Two to watch. BresBet and Bet St George both went dark on the final day of the month. Worth checking whether licence surrenders follow in September.

• Deposit Match Bonuses

  A matched deposit bonus is one of the most widely used promotion by new online casinos.

  Your account will be credited with bonus funds that are directly linked to how much you deposit.

  Often, you will see 100% matched deposits, which means if you deposit £10, the casino will award you £10 in bonus funds. However, deposit match bonuses are not always at 100%. Other common iterations include 50% (half of your deposit amount as bonus funds) and 200% (double your deposit amount).

• Bonus Spins

  Bonus spins - or free spins - are probably the most prevalent casino welcome offer.

  Usually, a casino operator may offer free spins as part of a promotion when you deposit and meet certain terms, such as wagering requirements. These spins can then be used on selected games, with any winnings either credited to your cash balance or placed in a bonus balance until the promotion terms have been completed.

  As an example, take Megaways Casino. Its current welcome bonus offers 100 free spins when you deposit £10. Free spins are valued at 10p, which means you get £10 worth of free spins when you deposit £10. Note - in this example, your deposit does not have to be wagered before claiming the bonus spins.

• Cashback Offers

  Cashback offers are a little different from the other forms of new casino welcome bonus, namely because you have to lose money before the offer is activated.

  A cashback offer provides punters with "bonus funds" based on how much they have lost over a defined period of time, typically within X days of making their first deposit.

  Ken Howell's welcome offer, for example, pays first day net casino losses back at a rate of 50%, up to a maximum of £25. This means that if you recorded a net loss of £50, Ken Howell's would credit your account with £25 of bonus funds.

• Slots

  Slot games account for the majority of games offered in online casinos. A bettor can dictate the amount they bet per spin before triggering "the spin". The reels will then tick round, with a random number generator (RNG) determining the end result of the spin.

  You can then win through various means, both in direction across paylines and in terms of triggering bonus rounds and multipliers.

  The speed of play and ability to hit big wins from small stakes is one of the biggest appeals slots games boast.

• Table Games (Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat)

  Table games take on many forms across new online casinos, with RNG and live casino variants running across roulette, blackjack, baccarat and more.

  Regardless of the variation you play, these games are hugely popular with bettors because of the choice element. You have the ability to pick your next move, applying strategy and logic to each play.

• Live Casino

  Live casino games are wagered on remotely but provide an "in-casino" experience. Tables and games are hosted by a human in a studio with a range of sensors and cameras used to ensure a slick and verified result.

  The "real feel" it gives, together with live chat features means that punters gain a more rounded experience, whilst many cite a superior trust in the results because of the live view.

• Instant Games

  Instant games carry a huge appeal with punters because of their instant result; it's like they are named "Instant Games" for a reason.

  With Crash games like Plinko and Hi-Lo card games, you don't have the theatre of spinning reels and dealers bigging up the next play, instead you get an immediate outcome.

• Bingo, Lotto & Scratchcards

  Bingo, lotto and scratchcards are digital versions of the more well-trodden traditional variations.

  Bingo games see you matching off numbers until someone lands on a winning pattern, lotto is similar but simply about matching the numbers on your ticket, as you do in the lottery. As for scratchcards, it is as it says in the name. You scratch off the card, revealing whether or not you have won.
