One factor at a time — then the overall letter
We break the five operators into separate rankings so a strong live floor cannot hide a thin slots shelf, and vice versa. Moonlit Reels is independent and affiliate-funded; we do not operate games.

How letter grades are built
UKGC licence is required — unlicensed brands are not listed. From there we score game variety and live casino most heavily, then studio presence, mobile clarity, welcome-offer structure (type only, not “best deal” claims), support routes and lobby usability. Grades run A–D. A means strong on that pass; C or D means clearly behind the peer set on the spine we care about.
1 · Game variety
Slots depth, table games, jackpots and specialty titles — not marketing claims.
