Hippodrome Online Casino review: licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (39372) and operated by Betway Limited. History, games and safety.
We haven't finished our hands-on test of The Hippodrome Online Casino yet, so there's no score. Everything below comes from regulator records, The Hippodrome Online Casino's own published information and the sources linked on this page.
Where the Hippodrome online casino comes from
The Hippodrome Casino in London's Leicester Square announced its online casino in February 2013. The software was supplied by Microgaming, and the site was operated by Betway Group. Online poker came from PokerStars, and there was an app for mobile and tablet users.
The launch article said the games and the look and feel were designed to connect to the physical venue, with photos of the Hippodrome's rooms on the site.
Licensing and safety
Today the online casino is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission under number 39372, held by Betway Limited. There is a separate Commission entry (29471) for the land-based Hippodrome Casino Ltd, which is not the online licence.
The Commission's register can be checked with the licence number. Check Hippodrome's safer gambling page for its tools. UK licensed casinos must offer them and GAMSTOP covers all licensed sites.
Games
The site's exclusives page has sections for games and exclusive titles, a live casino area and software providers. Check the lobby for the current range and game count.
Offers
Check Hippodrome's promotions page for the current welcome offer. Offers at casinos carry wagering multiples, expiry times, game restrictions and withdrawal caps, so read them before you opt in.
Payments
Check the cashier for payment methods, minimums and withdrawal times. The Hippodrome site runs on Betway's UK cashier, and UK rules apply, including a ban on credit card gambling.
App and support
There is a Hippodrome casino app on the UK App Store and Google Play. Check the contact page for support hours and channels.
Who it suits
Hippodrome suits UK players who like the idea of a casino tied to a well-known London venue and are happy with a brand run by Betway behind the scenes. We haven't finished our own hands-on test yet, so we cannot say how it compares on games and payments.
