About

Hippodrome Online Casino is a gambling site operating at hippodromecasino.com, operated by Hippodrome Casino Limited. The operator has held a UKGC licence since August 2011, making it one of the longer-standing licensees in the UK market. The company is registered in London at Cranbourn Street, WC2H 7JH, under Companies House number 05497987.

The site claims to offer slots and live casino games, according to its own website, and states it is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. The site describes eCOGRA certification and mobile compatibility as part of its offering. These are self-reported claims from the operator's marketing materials. What's independently verifiable is the active UKGC licence status and the ADR registration with eCOGRA, which gives consumers access to a formal dispute resolution process.

Hippodrome Online Casino carries a domain score of B (74/100). The domain has been registered since December 2004, giving it over 21 years of history. SSL is graded A, supported by TLS 1.3 encryption and Cloudflare CDN protection. The DNS setup is partial: DKIM is present but SPF and DMARC are missing, which is a gap worth noting from a security standpoint.

What Users Say

Hippodrome Online Casino has a Trustpilot score of 1.80 from 82 reviews. The sample is small but the average is low. Full star-rating breakdowns aren't available in the current data.

Common Themes

Detailed review themes aren't available in the current data. The low average score across 82 reviews suggests a pattern of dissatisfied customers, though the specific issues driving that aren't captured here.

Regulatory Context

There's no enforcement history to cross-reference against user complaints. The low Trustpilot score doesn't correspond to any UKGC action, so it can't be linked to a specific regulatory failing. The gap between a clean regulatory record and a poor consumer rating is worth noting.
