Hippodrome Casino

Hippodrome Casino holds a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, account number 39372. That means we're bound by some of the strictest gambling regulations in the world: player fund protection, mandatory responsible gambling tools, and regular compliance audits. The UKGC doesn't hand out licences lightly, and keeping ours means we have to meet those standards every single day.

We also hold a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority, which adds a second layer of regulatory oversight. Both regulators require us to keep player funds separate from operating funds, so your balance is protected regardless of what happens on our side of the fence. Two licences, two sets of rules to follow, and that's exactly how we like it.

Our games carry eCOGRA certification. eCOGRA is an internationally recognised testing agency that audits random number generators, payout percentages and game fairness. When you see that seal, it means an independent body has checked that the games aren't rigged in our favour beyond the published house edge. We publish return-to-player percentages on our games so you can see exactly what you're getting into before you spin.

Hippodrome Casino is operated by Betway Limited, a company registered in Malta with company number C39710. Betway is one of the most established operators in the online gambling industry, and running Hippodrome Casino under that umbrella means you benefit from years of operational experience, robust fraud prevention and a mature responsible gambling infrastructure.

If you ever want to verify our credentials, the UKGC public register is searchable online and our account number is right there in our terms. We're not hiding anything. Transparency is something we take seriously, and we'd rather you checked than took our word for it.

Hippodrome Casino was built with mobile players in mind from the start. The mobile browser version of the site scales cleanly to any screen size, whether you're on a smartphone or a tablet. You don't need to download anything to play: open hippodromeonline.com in Safari or Chrome and the full lobby loads just as it does on desktop, including live tables and all your account management tools.

If you'd rather have a dedicated app, we've got you covered on both major platforms. The iOS app is available on the Apple App Store, and it's a proper native app rather than a wrapped browser window. The Android app isn't on Google Play because of how Google handles gambling apps for UK players, but you can download the APK directly from our website. The installation takes about a minute and Android will walk you through enabling installs from outside the Play Store.

The app experience mirrors the desktop site almost entirely. You can deposit, withdraw, claim bonuses, contact support via live chat and browse every game category from the palm of your hand. Live casino tables, including the ones streamed from the physical Hippodrome venue in Leicester Square, run smoothly over a decent 4G or Wi-Fi connection. We'd recommend Wi-Fi for live dealer sessions just to keep the stream stable.

Game loading times on mobile are quick. The lobby is organised into clear categories so you can find what you're looking for without scrolling endlessly. Touch controls work intuitively across slots and table games alike. Pinch-to-zoom is supported where it's useful, and portrait mode works for most games without you needing to rotate your phone.

One thing worth mentioning: if you're playing live tables on mobile, landscape mode gives you the full table view and makes it easier to read the betting layout. Most live games will prompt you to rotate automatically, but it's worth knowing in advance so you're not fumbling around mid-session.

• iOS app on the Apple App Store
• Android APK available directly from our website
• Full mobile browser support, no download required
• Live tables including Leicester Square stream available on mobile
• Deposit, withdraw and manage your account from the app
• Landscape mode recommended for live dealer games

Hippodrome Casino takes responsible gambling seriously, and not just because the UKGC requires it. We genuinely believe gambling should be entertainment, not a source of stress. That's why we've built a full set of tools directly into your account that let you stay in control of how you play.

You can set deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits and wager limits from your account settings at any time. Increases to limits have a cooling-off period before they take effect, so a moment of impulse can't immediately override the boundaries you've set for yourself. Reductions, on the other hand, take effect immediately. We also offer a reality check feature that sends you a notification after a set period of play to remind you how long you've been at the tables.

If you need a break, our self-exclusion tools let you take time away from Hippodrome Casino for anything from a short cooling-off period to a permanent closure of your account. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly. Once you've self-excluded, our systems are designed to prevent you from opening a new account during that period.

We also support GAMSTOP, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Registering with GAMSTOP will apply your exclusion across all UKGC-licensed operators, including us. If you think gambling is becoming a problem, we'd encourage you to use it alongside our own tools rather than instead of them.

Support is available if you need to talk to someone. GamCare operates a free helpline and online chat service specifically for gambling-related concerns. BeGambleAware offers resources, self-assessment tools and referrals to treatment providers. Both organisations are independent of casinos and are there specifically for players who need help. We link to both from our responsible gambling page.

The minimum age to play at Hippodrome Casino is 18. We verify age during the registration and KYC process, and we use third-party age verification checks as part of that process. If you're concerned about someone underage accessing gambling sites, GamCare and the UKGC website both have guidance on blocking software and parental controls.

• Self-exclusion from a few days to permanent account closure
• GAMSTOP integration for cross-operator self-exclusion
