Best Online Video Poker Sites in the UK
Video poker is a fantastic real money Casino game which consists of a blend of poker, a community card game involving skill, and slot machines, a single-player game with outcomes determined strictly by chance. To help you discover the wondrous world of video poker, our team of experts at Gambling.com wrote this complete guide to the UK’s best online video poker sites. It includes things to consider when choosing a video poker site, video poker variants, odds and bonuses.
As we constantly update this guide with new video poker sites, promotions and news, bookmark this page and visit us regularly to stay up to date.
What to Consider When Choosing a Video Poker Casino Site
Our team of casino experts and video poker enthusiasts find the best sites to play video poker online by implementing a strict review casino review process.
We look closely at each operator and recommend to you only the best video poker sites. Below are the factors we pay special attention to when reviewing online casinos:
- Licensing and compliance: We only recommend on Gambling.com sites that are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission or other credible regulators.
- Bonuses and promotions: There is nothing quite like a casino bonus that hits the sweet spot of accessibility while being lucrative. Our job is to find leading video poker casinos that offer the most attractive welcome bonuses, online going promotions and reward programs.
- Online video poker game selection: We only recommend sites with a good selection of video poker variants. As a bonus, we also provide casinos with a good portfolio of other casino games, including slots and other casino table games.
- Playing video poker on mobile: As many punters use their mobile phone or tablet to play video poker, we only recommend video poker sites that are fully compatible with mobile devices.
- Payment methods: Casino players put considerable value on flexibility and prefer as many payment options as possible. When you play video poker online at one of our recommended casinos, you will find a wide selection of payment methods.
- Customer service: If you run into a problem or just want to reach out for further information, knowing you have an excellent customer service team ready is essential. Therefore, we look closely at the customer support experience provided by every video poker site we recommend.
Video Poker Casino Bonus
No other topic in the online casino realm generates more questions that bonuses, because they can sometimes be confusing. We think casino bonuses are worth it, but only if you find the best promotions.
Our experts scour the internet to find you the best casino promotions. Since operators frequently change their bonus offers, it is worth checking our list of the best online video poker sites regularly to keep up-to-date.
When you visit one of our featured video poker sites, you will likely see the following bonuses:
Welcome Bonus: Welcome bonuses are promotions you will find at nearly every video poker site. It is used to entice new customers and typically consists of a deposit match bonus and free spins.
Deposit Match Bonus: A common bonus type used in welcome packages for new players and regular promotions for existing customers. When you make a deposit, the video poker site will match that deposit amount with bonus money up to a certain amount. For example, a 100% deposit match bonus up to £100 means that if you deposit £50, you will receive an additional £50 in bonus money, leaving you with £100 to play with.
Reload Bonus: A reload bonus is offered on subsequent deposits once the welcome bonus has been claimed. Reload bonuses can feature lower percentage amounts against the deposit amount. For example, a 50% deposit match up to £50.
No Deposit Bonus: Some video poker casinos offer the chance to claim a bonus without needing to make a deposit. It is worth noting the bonus amount is usually relatively small, and these bonuses will be hard to find.
free bets casino bonus come in all shapes and sizes, and none are created equal. While the bonuses above are popular, you will also find other bonuses such as cashback, prize draws, and more. Whenever you visit one of the video poker casinos we recommend, it is worth checking out the promotions page to see what is currently available.
Remember that most online casino bonuses come with wagering requirements, which means you must wager the bonus value a specific number of times. You should always check the terms and conditions of a casino bonus for wagering requirements and other limitations. For example, which games you can play to redeem the bonus, time allowed to claim it, and any restrictions on specific payment methods.
Free Online Video Poker vs Real Money Online Video Poker
Many of our recommended UK online casinos allow you to play video poker for free but it comes with UKGC limitations which can be found on their website. Although you won’t win any cash, playing video poker for free is an opportunity to practice your strategy and try different games without spending your own money.
There is no doubt real money games are more exciting and bring tension because you are risking something when playing. Also, you play for the chance to win real money, which cannot be underestimated. Playing for real money will also allow you to access all game variants and allow you to collect reward points.
Still, playing for free allows you to become familiar with video poker variations and features, test new betting strategies, and practice before committing your money. However, keep in mind that there are video poker variants that are offered only to real-money players and aren’t available in demo mode. Also, note that due to UKGC regulations, access to free video poker and other free casino games is only available after you signed up and verified your account.

Live Dealer Poker
Live dealer games allow you to have the best of both worlds: the realism of brick-and-mortar casinos and the convenience of playing online from anywhere. When you play live casino games, you join fellow players at a table staffed by a human dealer that presents the game from a live studio. The game is streamed to your device, and you can interact with the dealer and fellow players via chat.
On the surface, video poker and live dealer poker may appear to be the same thing, but there are some significant differences between the two, as each offers a different online poker experience.
Video poker is a machine-based game where the player tries to achieve a better hand than the computer. In some respects, it may seem similar to a slot machine in design and functionality. Live dealer poker focuses on classic poker gameplay with one or more players facing off against each other or the dealer.
Of course, the principles of both online video poker and live dealer poker are the same. Both games use the same hand rankings and winning cards (two pair, full house, etc.). While video poker is a fun and quick-paced game, you should also consider live dealer poker such as casino hold’em and other casino games for a more immersive, social experience.
Who Makes Video Poker Software for Online Casinos?
Think of the big names of online casino software developers, and you also have a good idea of the leaders in online video poker. These include NetEnt, Playtech, Play’n Go, and Novomatic, among others.
NetEnt, a leading game developer, released many interesting video poker online titles. As you can expect from NetEnt, its games have the usual visual flair the developer is known for.
As the biggest names in the industry create video poker games, you never have to look far to find a variant you will enjoy. You can check out our list of the best video poker casinos to see sites with games from all the major providers.
Popular Video Poker Games
Most games are based on a five-card draw. What makes variations different is how they approach classic five-card draw with unique gameplay twists. There are plenty of video poker variations, but the most common ones are:
Jacks or Better
Possibly the most common and popular video poker variant.
Easy to learn.
Uses a standard deck of cards with a Joker included.
Joker cards replace any other card in the deck to help form the best winning combination.
The lowest possible win is a pair of jacks, hence the name (this means lower ranked pairs do not count as wins).
Double Bonus
Jacks or Better, but with a twist.
A pair of jacks remain the lowest possible winning combination.
Double bonus adds higher payouts for four-of-a-kind winning hands.
A four-of-a-kind combination of aces would payout higher than the same hand with kings.
Double bonus has a higher variance than Jacks or Better.
Joker Poker
Often known as Jokers Wild online video poker.
Like in Jacks or Better, Joker Poker games feature a deck with a joker card.
However, this variant can appear in games that allow winning pairs lower than a pair of jacks.
The joker wild substitutes other cards to form a winning combination.
Joker cards also include the payout on some winning hands.
Deuces Wild
Played with a standard deck of cards without the joker.
Cards with a two (deuce) value are wild cards.
Twos substitute for any other card to form winning hand combinations.
There are four wild cards in total, providing more chances of getting a wild card.
A four-of-a-kind hand of twos is the second highest-paying winning combination in the game.
Three of a kind is the lowest winning combination.

A game’s Return to Player (RTP) is the percentage of total wagers paid back to players in winnings. For example, a game with an RTP of 96% will pay back to players £96 of every £100 wagered. However, because each game outcome is random, the RTP is a statistical payout over time, which means that some players will win whilst others will lose.
The house edge is the casino’s built-in advantage over the game, which is how the casino generates a profit. Simply put, the house edge can be calculated as 100% of the wagers less the RTP. So in the example above, in the long run, the casino will keep £4 of every £100 wagered.
As every outcome of a video poker game is random, odds will vary across different hands dealt, and bets made. Still, the average house edge for video poker is considered low, making it a high-yielding game compared to other casino games. For example, the RTP for Jacks or Better 9/6 video poker is 98.181% and 99.543% for a four and five-credit bet, respectively. This translates to a respective house edge of 1.819% and 0.457%.
