Welcome to Casino Operators Association of the United Kingdom

The COA (UK) represents the views and aspirations of independent, operator-owned casinos throughout the UK. Formed in 2001 to offer a different forum from that dominated by the short-term, share price driven concerns of plcs, this Association promotes a gaming regime that is focussed, realistic and responsible, both socially and financially. While welcoming modernisation, the COA (UK) believes that the unique qualities of British casino gaming requires the long experience of independent owners who still make a powerful contribution to the industry in the 21st Century. We trust that independent operators who are currently not members of our Association will see the value of joining the COA (UK) as we are dedicated to growing an industry that sustains its current reputation with style, control and probity, utilising the best that other jurisdictions may offer, but retaining the best of British too!
