Services · Mobile app development · Casino apps
We offer casino app development Birmingham operators can put in front of their compliance team with confidence: member and visitor apps for licensed venues on Broad Street, at Star City and across the West Midlands, poker room tools, staff apps, and online products for businesses trading under a Gambling Commission remote licence. Verification, exclusion and safer gambling controls are part of the first design, not a later patch.
The Commission's head office is in Birmingham, at Victoria Square House, but being nearby changes nothing about the rules. Every app we build follows them in full, never targets anyone at risk, and makes no promise about winning.

What we build for Birmingham operators
Birmingham's casino trade is shaped by its role as the region's night out and as a national events city. Venues around Broad Street and the Star City leisure complex draw residents from across the West Midlands, while the NEC, the ICC and the city's arenas bring in conference delegates and concert crowds who may visit a casino once and never again. Premises in the city are licensed by Birmingham City Council; the NEC area sits in Solihull, which has its own licensing authority and its own conditions. Large numbers of students also live in the city, which makes careful age verification and a firm line on marketing especially important. The capabilities below are chosen for that mix of regular members, one time visitors and late night trade. Each capability can be released separately, so a venue can start small and add more as staff grow used to it.
A verified digital membership card that reception scans at the door, with age and identity confirmed once and stored against the member record. Visitors in town for an exhibition can register and verify before they arrive, so entry on a busy Saturday is quicker and checks are never skipped to clear a queue.
Faster entry, with every guest verified the same way.
Players see the card room schedule, register for tournaments and cash game waiting lists, and get a notification when a seat is ready. Registration checks exclusion status and any limits first, so an excluded player cannot sign up for an event at any of your sites.
The card room runs from one list, with safety checks built in.
Your safer gambling policy may treat long sessions or play into the early hours as a sign worth noticing. The app can show time reminders to guests who opt in and prompt floor staff to start a conversation, logging each one for your compliance records.
Signs of harm late at night are noticed and acted on.
Directions from New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill stations, tram stops, parking, accessible entrances and late transport options home. Clear information about getting back safely matters in a city where much of the trade happens late in the evening.
Guests know how to arrive and how to get home.
Member benefits focused on food, drink and events rather than on gaming spend, with no rewards that increase as someone gambles more. Offers are suppressed automatically for excluded members and anyone your staff have flagged.
Members are thanked for visiting, not for losing.
A short, private self-assessment members can take at any time, written with your safer gambling lead, followed by options to set a limit, take a break or self-exclude. Contacts for the National Gambling Helpline and local support services in the West Midlands sit on the same screen, and nothing about the result is used for marketing.
Help is easy to find for anyone who starts to worry about their play.
Inspectors, hosts and duty managers see arrivals, verification status, exclusions and open safer gambling notes on a tablet, and can record an interaction from the table rather than writing it up at the end of a shift.
Records are made when things happen, not hours later.
For remote licensees, debit card, Open Banking and mobile wallet payments with credit cards blocked, a lobby of games from suppliers holding a Commission gambling software licence, and age based slot stake limits sent to each game at launch.
Online products match the rules applied on the floor.
Online accounts are checked against GAMSTOP at registration and login, and land based self-exclusion is recorded once and applied across every venue you run in the region, including sites licensed by neighbouring councils.
One exclusion request, honoured everywhere you operate.
Reports grouped by venue and licensing authority, so the information Birmingham City Council or Solihull Council asks for during an inspection can be produced for that site alone, with the Commission's own returns kept separate.
Each council gets the right figures for its own venue.
Who this is for
The West Midlands casino market includes city centre venues, leisure complex sites, venues near the exhibition halls and a growing number of online businesses whose teams sit in the Colmore Business District, Digbeth or out in the wider region. A casino mobile app development Birmingham project has to start from whichever of these you are, because the licence, the customers and the first release are different in each case.
Weekend nights are busy, many guests arrive after dinner or a show, and the crowd mixes regulars with groups on a night out. A digital membership card, pre-arrival verification, a staff floor app and clear travel information home cover most of what such a venue needs first. Late night prompts help your team spot the guest who has stayed too long. Taxi and late transport information sits one tap from the home screen, which matters when the last trains have gone and guests need to get home safely.
Entry speed improves without weaker checks.
Delegates and concert crowds may visit once. They need quick registration, plain language house rules and nothing that pressures them to return. If your venue sits in Solihull rather than Birmingham, the app's settings reflect Solihull Council's premises licence conditions, not the city's. Event calendars from the main halls can be shown so staff know which evenings will bring larger crowds and can plan door and floor cover around them.
Your venues sit in different towns and answer to different councils. One platform with venue settings keeps local conditions separate while exclusions, verification and safer gambling records stay shared. Head office sees the whole region; each general manager sees only their own site and their own council's requirements, which keeps each inspection focused.
You are applying for, or have just received, a remote operating licence. We build the app alongside your compliance work, so the cashier, verification, GAMSTOP checks and safer gambling tools reflect what you have committed to in your application. Your legal advisers handle the licence; we make sure the product does what it says. Because the Commission may ask how your systems work, every rule the app enforces is documented in plain English for your compliance file, with the date it changed and who approved it.
We build software; we do not give legal or licensing advice.
How we work together
Codeeo has no office in Birmingham or anywhere else in Britain. We are a team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, we have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and we are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. West Midlands clients work with us remotely, with discovery, venue walkthroughs, reviews and demos all held by video call. Choose a fixed scope first release, a retained team for steady improvement, or a dedicated team when the programme covers several venues and online products. Written notes follow every call, giving your compliance file a clear record of what was agreed, when, and by whom.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
iOS and Android apps, native or cross platform, a web admin system for head office and venue managers, and tablet apps for floor staff, with hosting agreed with your data protection officer. Door scanning works on standard tablets and phones, so venues do not need special hardware to start.

Membership, verification and a staff floor app.
For a land based venue, the first release usually covers a verified digital membership, entry scanning, exclusion across sites, travel information and a floor app for staff. Poker registration and hospitality bookings often follow. For online licensees, the cashier, lobby and safer gambling controls come first. We choose the order in discovery from your busiest problems, not from a fixed package. If you run both a venue and an online product, we usually recommend one shared account from the start, so limits and exclusions follow the guest across both.
