Introduction
Launched in 2018, The Pools Casino is a sportsbook and online casino, exclusively open to UK residents. Taking its name from the long-running practice of ‘doing The Pools’ in English sports betting, the site offers bettors something a little bit different. The main focus of the site is sports betting. However, the casino offers its own entertainment. You’ll find 1,000+ slots and casino games, including live dealer titles.
Software
The games are provided by more than 40 of the best software developers. The impressive roll-call includes:
- NetEnt
- Blueprint Gaming
- Microgaming
- Evolution Gaming
- NEXTGEN
- Barcrest
- IRON DOG
- Habanero
- SG Interactive
- Just For The Win
Games
The games lobby is divided into user-friendly sections such as ‘ Sports Games’, ‘TV & Movies’, and ‘Classic 3 Reel’. There are many jackpot and Megaways titles, and the Rainbow Riches series is given its own category. Top games include:
Santa King Megaways
Ice Wolf
Cops and Robbers Megaways
Space Invaders

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways

The Goonies
A digital table games section houses such classics as 20p Roulette, Super Fun 21 Extreme, Zappit Blackjack, and Texas Hold’Em Plus. Players can also enjoy a game of Slingo or a quick Scratchcard.
Live Casino
There are around 75 games currently available in the live casino. You’ll find several variants of live roulette, blackjack, and baccarat. Poker fans can play live Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, or Texas Hold’Em. The site also offers a couple of live game shows, including Dream Catcher and Football Studio.

The Football Pools Limited is a limited company registered in England and Wales. The site is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. The casino uses standard security measures such as encryption and firewalls to protect sensitive information. All games are subject to audit to ensure they are fair and random.

There is also a physical address given, and you can follow the brand on Facebook and Twitter.
Payment Options
There are only a couple of traditional payment methods offered. You can’t use an e-wallet, prepaid card and certainly, no cryptocurrencies are accepted. Payment options include:
- Visa
- Visa Debit
- VISA Electron
- MasterCard
- Maestro
- Bank Transfer
There is no withdrawal limit for GBP.
Conclusion
Although the live casino isn’t the biggest, it offers all the classics - live roulettes, blackjack, baccarat and poker, plus a couple of game shows. The daily promotions are a good incentive for players to return regularly. The live chat support isn’t 24/7, and the choice of payment methods is severely limited. The site also has a £250,000 daily win total limit which, although high, could still be seen as unfair by some players.
