Tools that put the facts on your side
Free, no sign-in, no obligation. Use them on your own, or as the first step before you talk to us.
Disputes with online casinos are won on process and evidence, not volume. These tools give you the same starting points our own team uses: establish who actually licenses the site, work out which complaint route has real teeth for your situation, and put your complaint in writing properly. Every tool is free and none of them commits you to anything. If the facts point to a recoverable claim, you can start a free eligibility check whenever you are ready, or read the guides library first.
Casino licence checker
Search a casino by name or web address and see who licenses it, whether it sits inside GamStop, and what our operator file records.
Check a casinoComplaint route finder
Answer three questions and get the correct route for your dispute: the operator's own procedure, ADR, the Gambling Commission, or a recovery claim.
Find your routeComplaint letter generator
Turn the facts of your dispute into a calm, formal complaint letter you can send to the casino, with the escalation wording matched to its licence.
Draft your letterHow the three tools fit together
Casino disputes are lost on procedure far more often than on the facts. A player with a genuine grievance writes to the wrong body, waits politely on an operator that has no intention of answering, or complains in a live chat window that leaves no record anyone can later point to. These three tools exist because the fix for all of that is mechanical, and mechanical work is exactly what software should be doing for you rather than a person doing it from scratch under stress.
Start with the licence checker. Every online casino answers to whoever issued its licence and to nobody else, so the licence decides which rules bound the operator, which complaints body will hear you, and whether any regulator will hear you at all. Search a brand name or web address and the checker returns what our operator research files record: the regulator, the licence number, whether GamStop reaches the site and where a complaint would go. Sites licensed in Curaçao, Anjouan or Malta sit outside the UK framework entirely, and some hold no gaming licence at all, which is a fact worth knowing before you spend a month writing to the Gambling Commission about a site it has never licensed.
Then use the complaint route finder. Three questions, being who licenses the casino, what actually happened and how far you have already taken it, produce an ordered escalation path. For a Gambling Commission licensee that path is genuinely structured: the operator's own complaints procedure, then its named dispute-resolution provider, with the eight-week rule working in your favour. For an offshore site the finder is honest about how thin the regulator's reach is and what the practical alternative looks like, rather than inventing a route that does not exist.
Finish with the complaint letter generator. A formal, dated letter turns a grievance into a record: it obliges the operator to handle the matter through its published procedure instead of a support script, and it starts the clock that every escalation route depends on. Answer the structured questions and the generator builds a calm, factual letter you can download or have emailed to yourself, yours to edit and send from your own account address. If you would rather write it in your own words, the complaint letter template gives you the same structure to adapt by hand.
What comes after depends on what the operator does next. Silence and a written refusal are both useful, because each is evidence you can carry to the next stage. If the sums involved are serious, or the operator sits offshore where the free routes run out, a free eligibility check will tell you honestly whether there is a claim worth building, and how gambling loss recovery works explains what that process involves from end to end. No outcome is ever promised, and plenty of people who use these tools will not need us at all, which is the point of publishing them.
Questions about the tools
Are these casino tools really free?
Yes. All three run in your browser, need no account and cost nothing. The route finder and the licence checker do not ask for any personal detail at all, and the letter generator only asks for what has to appear in the letter itself. Nothing you enter is sent to any casino, and using a tool does not commit you to a claim or to speaking to us.
Which tool should I use first?
Start with the licence checker if you do not know who regulates the site, because the licence decides every route that follows. Move to the route finder once you know, to get the escalation order for your situation. Use the letter generator when you are ready to put the complaint in writing. Most disputes benefit from all three, in that order.
Do the tools work for offshore casinos as well as UK ones?
Yes, though the honest answer they give is different. For a Gambling Commission-licensed site the route is structured: the operator's own procedure, then its approved adjudicator, with the eight-week rule behind you. For a site licensed in Curaçao, Anjouan or Malta, or holding no gaming licence at all, the tools say so plainly and set out what is realistically left rather than inventing a route that does not exist.
Will using a tool tell the casino I am complaining?
No. Nothing is ever sent to the casino on your behalf. If you tick the consent box, we email the finished letter to you from contact@clintonandco.co.uk so it lands somewhere you can keep it, and our team can then follow up if you want help with what comes next. Sending it stays entirely your decision, in your own time, from the email address registered on your casino account. The licence checker and the route finder ask for nothing at all.
