21.co.uk is operated by LeoVegas Gaming plc under UK Gambling Commission account 39198, alongside five sister brands including LeoVegas.
The short answer
There are 5 21.co.uk sister sites: LeoVegas, BetMGM, BetUK, Pink Casino and Slot Boss. All 5 21.co.uk Casino sister sites are operated by LeoVegas Gaming plc under licence 39198.
Compare all 5Searching for sites like 21.co.uk and searching for 21.co.uk alternatives are not quite the same question. Every brand on this page shares an operator with 21.co.uk — they are 21.co.uk sister casinos, not merely platforms like 21.co.uk that happen to look similar. That distinction decides whether one welcome bonus, one self-exclusion and one KYC check cover all of them.
Pros
- Covered by the same UKGC licence and GamStop integration as every LeoVegas Group brand
- Welcome winnings carry no wagering requirement at all
- Only 1x wagering on the deposit to release the offer
Cons
- Withdrawal timings are not published — speed is unmeasured
- Support channels and hours not yet verified
21.co.uk sister sites — the full network
LeoVegas Gaming plc (UK Gambling Commission account 39198) operates 6 UK-facing brands including 21.co.uk. The 5 21.co.uk Casino sister sites below share that licence, and in most cases the same bonus mechanics — what changes between them is the price, the size of the offer and the product mix.
| Sister site | Welcome offer | Trust | |
|---|---|---|---|
| LeoVegas | 50 Wager-Free Free Spins on Big Bass Splashmin £10 | 75 | Review |
| BetUK | 50 Free Spins on Big Bass Splashmin £10 | 74 | Review |

| Slot Boss | 50 Free Spins on Big Bass Splashmin £20 | 57 | Review |
Similarity estimates how much of the same experience you get — shared licence, platform and bonus mechanics, less any product differences. A high similarity score is not an endorsement: a close copy of a weak casino is still a weak casino.

How we verified the 21.co.uk sister sites
Most sites simply assert that two casinos are related. These are the signals we actually checked before calling these brands 21.co.uk Casino sister sites, and what each one showed. The strongest of them is the shared UK Gambling Commission account 39198, which is a matter of public record rather than inference.

How we know 21.co.uk shares an operator with these brands
Shared licence numberweight 40%
All six brands operate under LeoVegas Gaming plc, UKGC account 39198.
SourceIdentical T&C clausesweight 25%
Five of six run word-for-word identical welcome mechanics: 1x wagering on deposit, wager-free spins on Big Bass Splash at 10p each, 3-day expiry. Only the deposit and spin count vary.
SourceSame platform fingerprintweight 15%
Two independent tells. A shared 'Gigantic Jackpots' progressive pool of over £42 million is advertised across group brands, and the lobby category rail is identical on all six — Classic Slots, Megaways, Slingo, Table Games, Slots, Jackpots, Crash & Mines, Bingo, Instant Win — in the same order.
SourceShared payment processorweight 10%
BetMGM states outright that payments appear on bank statements under either the BetMGM or LeoVegas reference — the same merchant account serving both brands. Deposit and withdrawal limits are also near-identical across the group (£3,000/£8,000 on cards, £10,000/£35,000 on bank transfer), and the same anti-money-laundering restriction appears word for word: one active payment method at a time, unchangeable while the balance is £10 or greater.
SourceShared support infrastructureweight 10%
Identical support and safer-gambling footer across the group: 24/7 customer support, GamCare 0808 8020 133, GambleAware, GamStop, BetBlocker, Gordon Moody and IBAS, plus the same Sliema registered office.

All 5 21.co.uk sister sites reviewed
The 21.co.uk Casino sister sites are ordered by how similar each one is to 21.co.uk — closest first.
Can you claim a bonus at every 21.co.uk Casino sister site?
Each brand advertises its own welcome offer, but the 21.co.uk Casino sister sites sit behind one licensee and one fraud-detection layer. Assume one welcome across the group unless a brand states otherwise.
| Sister site | Separate welcome? |
|---|---|
| LeoVegas | Unlikely |
| BetMGM | Unlikely |
| BetUK | Unlikely |
| Pink Casino | Unlikely |
| Slot Boss | Unlikely |
Same company, different deal
Shared ownership does not mean an identical deal. These are the places where the 21.co.uk sister sites genuinely beat 21.co.uk itself.
Where a sister site beats 21.co.uk
BetMGM — Welcome offer value
BetMGM gives 200 free spins for a £10 deposit against 21.co.uk's £5 in golden chips on live from las vegas tables for £10. Same company, same mechanics, better deal.
21.co.uk vs its sister sites, head to head
Same operator, same licence, same platform — so the comparison comes down to the offer and the product mix. Each pairing below is scored on the same rubric, which is what makes them comparable at all.
| Matchup | Welcome offer | Trust |
|---|---|---|
| 21.co.uk (this page) | £5 in Golden Chips on Live from Las Vegas tables | 58 |
| 21.co.uk vs LeoVegas | 50 Wager-Free Free Spins on Big Bass Splash | 75 |
| 21.co.uk vs BetUK | 50 Free Spins on Big Bass Splash | 74 |
| 21.co.uk vs BetMGM | 200 Free Spins on Big Bass Splash | 77 |
21.co.uk vs LeoVegas
The group flagship: 50 wager-free spins for £10, full sportsbook, and the widest category spread of the six. LeoVegas scores 75 to 21.co.uk's 58, so on our rubric the sister brand is the stronger of the two. Similarity is 85%, so expect the same cashier and lobby either way.

Sites like 21.co.uk: 21.co.uk alternatives inside and outside the group
21.co.uk alternatives split into two groups, and conflating them is the mistake most lists make. The 5 brands above are 21.co.uk sister casinos — LeoVegas Gaming plc (UK Gambling Commission account 39198) runs every one of them, so the licence, the complaints process and the self-exclusion scope are shared.
Other platforms like 21.co.uk — unrelated casinos with a comparable lobby or a similar offer — are a different proposition entirely. They give you a genuinely separate operator, which matters if your complaint with 21.co.uk is with the company rather than the product. If you are looking for sites like 21.co.uk because you want a fresh welcome bonus, the group brands above are the weaker bet: one licensee generally means one welcome offer.
Which 21.co.uk Casino sister site should you pick?
Three different answers, depending on what you are actually optimising for. All 5 21.co.uk Casino sister sites clear the same licensing bar, so this is a question of fit rather than safety.
- If you want the closest thing to 21.co.uk: LeoVegas, at 85% similarity — same platform, same lobby structure, different welcome offer.
- If you are choosing on trust rather than familiarity: BetMGM scores highest of the 21.co.uk sister sites at 77/100, above 21.co.uk's own 58.
- If you already have an account here: check the bonus table above before opening a second one. A separate welcome offer at another brand in this group is the exception, not the rule.
About 21.co.uk
21.co.uk is one of six UK brands operated by LeoVegas Gaming plc, which MGM Resorts International acquired in 2022. It offers casino and live casino. Launched 2013; sportsbook discontinued in 2023, leaving casino and live casino.
One live-casino welcome offer plus three ongoing promotions. Live Casino leads the navigation. The welcome offer is £5 in golden chips on live from las vegas tables for a £10 deposit, with 1x wagering and no wagering on the winnings themselves.
Being part of this network has real consequences beyond branding. Because all six brands sit under a single UK Gambling Commission account, self-excluding through GamStop at 21.co.uk blocks the other five at the same time — you cannot step away from one and continue at another. Account verification documents, the one-active-payment-method rule and the £10 balance restriction all apply identically across the group, so a KYC check completed at a sibling is the same check 21.co.uk runs. The progressive jackpot pool is shared too, which means the headline figure advertised here is the same money advertised on every other brand in the network rather than six separate prizes.
On welcome value specifically, 21.co.uk is not the best door into this network. BetMGM runs the same mechanics — 1x wagering, wager-free spins, three-day expiry — but gives 200 spins for a £10 deposit where 21.co.uk gives £5 in golden chips on live from las vegas tables for £10. Since both brands share a licence, a platform and a jackpot pool, the practical difference between opening an account at one rather than the other is largely the size of the offer you start with.
21.co.uk welcome bonus in detail
£5 in Golden Chips on Live from Las Vegas tables
- Minimum deposit
- £10
- Wagering
- 1x on any live casino game
- Expiry
- 3 days
- Bet limits
- 50 × £0.10 Golden Chips
- Eligible games
- Golden Chips usable on eligible Playtech live casino games
- The only brand in the group whose welcome offer targets live casino rather than slots — it fits the table-games positioning rather than being a reskin of the group offer.
- Restricted to Playtech live titles, which narrows where the value can be used.
Games at 21.co.uk
Noticeably Blueprint-weighted: the Fishin' Frenzy family occupies most of the front slots row, with Red Tiger and Inspired Gaming filling the Megaways rail. Fewer distinct studios than the group average.
Studios confirmed on the 21.co.uk slots page
- Blueprint
- Pragmatic Play
- Red Tiger

Each provider above is printed beneath its own game tile in the lobby, so these are read from the site rather than inferred.
21.co.uk organises its lobby into 9 categories: Classic Slots, Megaways, Slingo, Table Games, Slots, Jackpots, Crash & Mines, Bingo, Instant Win. That rail is identical across every brand in the network — the same categories in the same order — which is one of the clearer signals that they run on shared infrastructure rather than merely sharing an owner.
Customer support at 21.co.uk
| Channel | Availability | Response time |
|---|---|---|
| Live chat | 24/7 | Not measured |
| Help centre | 24/7 | Self-service |
Support is advertised as 24/7, and the footer carries a 24/7 customer support badge alongside GamCare, IBAS and BetBlocker. We have not measured response times ourselves, so the score for support reflects what is advertised rather than what was experienced.

21.co.uk pros and cons
Pros
- Covered by the same UKGC licence and GamStop integration as every LeoVegas Group brand
- Welcome winnings carry no wagering requirement at all
- Only 1x wagering on the deposit to release the offer
Cons
- Withdrawal timings are not published — speed is unmeasured

Common complaints about 21.co.uk
Themes drawn from public review platforms and forums. These are paraphrased summaries of recurring patterns, not quotes, and they describe what players report rather than what we have verified.
Withdrawals held for verification
commonEvery brand in this group states that withdrawals are reviewed before release, and that a KYC check may be required first. On BetUK the hold is explicitly 24 hours before a further 3–5 working days. This is standard UKGC practice rather than an operator failing, but it is the single most common source of surprise for new players expecting an instant payout.
Group payment terms, read across sibling brands
One payment method at a time
occasionalPlayers cannot switch payment method while their balance is £10 or more, and withdrawals must return to the method used to deposit. Both rules are anti-money-laundering requirements applied group-wide, but they catch out anyone who deposits by card intending to withdraw elsewhere.

21.co.uk Sister Sites — the verdict
21.co.uk sits inside the LeoVegas Gaming plc network, so licensing, GamStop scope and bonus mechanics are shared with its five sister brands. What genuinely varies is the price and size of the welcome offer — and on that, 21.co.uk is mid-table. Payout speed, support quality and complaint history remain unverified, and the score reflects that.
On the network question specifically: the 5 21.co.uk Casino sister sites rate confirmed on our fingerprint at 100/100, and the evidence behind that is set out above rather than asserted. Treat them as one operator wearing 6 front doors.
21.co.uk sister sites — FAQ
Who owns 21.co.uk?
21.co.uk is operated by LeoVegas Gaming plc under UK Gambling Commission account 39198, alongside LeoVegas, BetMGM, BetUK, Pink Casino, Slot Boss and 21.co.uk. LeoVegas Gaming plc has been owned by MGM Resorts International since 2022.
Is 21.co.uk on GamStop?
Yes. 21.co.uk holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, and every UKGC licensee must integrate with GamStop. Self-excluding blocks all six brands in the group, not just this one.
Can I claim a welcome bonus at every one of the 21.co.uk sister sites?
Each brand advertises its own welcome offer, but they share one licensee and one fraud-detection layer. Treat a separate welcome at each sibling as unlikely rather than assured, and check the terms before depositing at a second brand.
How many 21.co.uk Casino sister sites are there?
The 21.co.uk Casino sister sites are the other brands operated by LeoVegas Gaming plc under the same UK Gambling Commission account 39198 — LeoVegas, BetMGM, BetUK, Pink Casino, Slot Boss and 21.co.uk, minus 21.co.uk itself. Every one is listed and compared in the table above, with the evidence for each relationship set out beneath it.
