Fitzdares casino app

Who is behind the Fitzdares casino app?

Fitzdares stands out in our A–Z as a gambling brand run from central London. The licence holder is Fitzdares Limited, registered with Companies House as company 05478072 and listed on the Gambling Commission register under account 400, with a head office on Campden Hill Road in Kensington.

Third-party reviews date the brand to 2005 and describe it relaunching as a full online casino and sportsbook in 2018, which matches the date its remote casino licence became active. The brand has a members' feel, with a Fitzdares Club loyalty scheme reported for sportsbook customers, but its casino is open to any verified adult in Great Britain.

Fitzdares' five UK licence activities

The register shows a wider spread of licences than most online-only brands, including one for face-to-face betting.

The remote casino line is what allows slots, table games and live dealer games in the app. The non-remote general betting limited licence covers in-person betting outside high-street betting shops, which suits a bookmaker with roots in racing. The register listed no regulatory actions against the account when checked.

Fitzdares on iPhone versus Android

This is the most practical point for anyone searching for a Fitzdares app. Independent reviews report a native app for Apple devices but no native Android app, with Android users directed to the mobile website. Store listings change, so check Google Play for a current listing before assuming either way.

Browser play isn't second best for most casino games, since modern slots are built in HTML5 and run the same way in Chrome as in an app. The guide to adding a casino to your home screen shows how to get an app-like icon on Android, and our comparison of apps and mobile sites covers the trade-offs.

Setting up Fitzdares on an iPhone

1. Open the App Store and search for Fitzdares.
2. On the listing, check that the seller is Fitzdares Limited or a name clearly connected to it.
3. Confirm the 18+ age rating and read the App Privacy section.
4. Install the app and log in, or register with your name, address and date of birth.
5. Allow location access if prompted, so the app can confirm you're in Great Britain.
6. Set a deposit limit in the account settings before adding a payment method.

If the App Store says the app isn't available, check your Apple ID country is the UK. Our page on casino apps you can't download on iPhone lists other causes.

The Fitzdares casino and live casino

Third-party reviews describe a large slot library including Megaways and jackpot titles, RNG table games, and live dealer tables from Evolution, Playtech Live and Pragmatic Play Live, with a heavy emphasis on live blackjack. We haven't verified game counts, and figures differ between reviews, so we don't quote them.

Live tables stream video and use far more data than slots. Our guides to live blackjack apps and how live casino streams work on mobile explain bet placement on a small screen and how to keep data use down.

Paying in and withdrawing at Fitzdares

Third-party reviews list debit cards, Apple Pay and bank transfer, and say there are no e-wallets such as PayPal or Skrill. Check the cashier for the current list, minimums and timings, because these change.

• Apple Pay deposits are confirmed with Face ID or Touch ID, without typing card numbers.
• Debit card withdrawals usually return to the card you deposited with.
• Bank transfers can take longer to arrive than card or e-wallet payouts.
• Credit cards can't be used, including through Apple Pay.

Before your first withdrawal you'll need to pass identity checks. Our casino app verification guide explains which documents are usually requested and how to upload them from your phone.

Game rules that apply at Fitzdares and every UK casino

Slots are capped at £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over and £2 per spin for those aged 18–24. Each spin takes at least 2.5 seconds, autoplay and turbo modes aren't allowed, and feature buys aren't offered in Great Britain. Table and live games must allow at least five seconds per round. Bonus wagering can't exceed 10x. The page on UK stake limits on mobile slots explains how the cap is applied by age.

Fitzdares' safer gambling tools

Third-party reviews list deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion, alongside a link to GAMSTOP. They're set from the account and apply on every device you use.

1. Pick a deposit limit that fits your entertainment budget, not your bank balance.
2. Add a loss limit and a session limit if you tend to play longer than planned.
3. Switch on reality checks for regular reminders of time spent.
4. Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion when you want a firm break.
5. Register with GAMSTOP to block every UK-licensed online operator.

How to check the Fitzdares licence

Search the Gambling Commission register for account 400. The entry should read Fitzdares Limited, with the remote casino activity marked Active, and the domain names tab should match the website you use. The licence-checking guide walks through it, and the remote gambling licence entry explains what the casino line permits.
