About Us

We are a small, independent team of UK-based gambling researchers and consumer advocates. We built this website because we were tired of the same problem: sites dressed up as review platforms, quietly earning commissions from the very casinos they were rating. Our goal is different. We do not accept payments from operators, we do not run referral deals, and we do not let commercial relationships influence what we write. What you read here is exactly what we found — nothing more, nothing less.

1. Our Mission

Our mission is straightforward: to give UK gamblers access to honest, well-researched information about offshore casinos that operate outside the UKGC framework. The offshore and non-GamStop casino space is largely unpoliced in terms of editorial standards. Most content out there exists to funnel players toward casinos in exchange for a cut of their losses. We exist to counter that. We research licensing jurisdictions, audit withdrawal processes, test customer support response times, and flag the risks that other sites conveniently leave out. We believe that informed players make better decisions, and better decisions lead to safer gambling — regardless of where the casino is licensed.

2. Our Independence Policy

We have a strict no-commission policy. We do not participate in casino programmes, we do not earn CPA fees, and we do not accept sponsored content or paid placements in our rankings. Every casino featured on this website was chosen purely on editorial merit — based on our own research, player feedback, and documented evidence of how the operator actually treats its customers. If a casino ranks highly on our site, it is because it genuinely performed well under scrutiny. If it ranks poorly, it is because we found real problems — slow withdrawals, opaque terms, poor support, or licensing concerns. We will not soften a review because an operator asks us to.

3. How We Research and Test Casinos

Our research process is more forensic than most. We start with licensing — verifying that any casino we cover holds a genuine, active licence from its stated jurisdiction, whether that is Curacao, Malta, Gibraltar, or elsewhere. We cross-check operator ownership, look for sister site networks, and trace corporate structures where possible. From there, we move to practical testing: creating real accounts, making real deposits, and attempting real withdrawals to document the actual process rather than what the terms page claims it should be. We log response times from customer support, test live chat at different hours, read through bonus terms in full, and calculate the actual value of welcome offers after wagering requirements are applied. Nothing is taken at face value.

4. A Note on Responsible Gambling

We take responsible gambling seriously. Many of the casinos we cover operate outside GamStop, which means they are accessible to players who have self-excluded from UKGC-licensed sites. We do not judge players for that choice, but we do believe they deserve to know the risks clearly. Throughout our content, we highlight where responsible gambling tools are available, where they are absent, and what that means for vulnerable players. If you are struggling with gambling, please contact the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or visit BeGambleAware.org. Our content is intended for adults aged 18 and over only.

5. Meet the Team

We are three people. Here is a bit about each of us.

James Hartley — Lead Researcher & Editor

James has spent over a decade working in consumer finance journalism, covering everything from payday loan scandals to fintech regulation. He came to the gambling space after noticing how little serious consumer advocacy existed outside of GamStop-registered sites. At our publication, James leads the casino licensing research, manages the editorial calendar, and writes the majority of our regulatory deep-dives. He is based in Manchester and holds a degree in Economics from the University of Leeds. His personal philosophy is simple: if you would be embarrassed to show your review to the regulator, it is not honest enough to publish.

Sophie Caldwell — Casino Analyst & Player Experience Tester

Sophie brings a background in behavioural research and UX analysis to our team, having previously worked as a product consultant for several UK-based gaming studios. She is responsible for the hands-on testing side of our operation — the account registrations, the deposits, the bonus activations, and the withdrawal tracking that forms the backbone of every casino review we publish. Sophie is meticulous by nature, maintaining detailed logs of every interaction she has with an operator so that our reviews can cite specific timeframes, exact wording from support agents, and documented evidence rather than vague impressions. She is based in Brighton and is a vocal advocate for standardised bonus term transparency across the offshore sector.

Daniel Okafor — Data Analyst & Technical Reviewer

Daniel handles the data layer of our operation. With a background in software engineering and a long-standing interest in online gambling ecosystems, he built the tracking systems we use to monitor withdrawal processing times across operators, map casino ownership networks, and flag duplicate content across sister sites. Daniel also leads our technical security reviews — examining SSL configurations, payment processor relationships, and data handling practices to give players a full picture of how an offshore operator manages their information. He is based in London and brings the same rigour to a casino review that he would bring to a code audit. If there is a pattern worth spotting, Daniel finds it.

6. Contact Us

We welcome feedback, corrections, and tip-offs from players who have had experiences — good or bad — with offshore casinos. If you have evidence of an operator behaving poorly that you think deserves coverage, or if you believe we have made an error in one of our reviews, please get in touch. We take factual accuracy seriously and will update any content where we have been shown to be wrong. You can reach us via the contact form on this site. We read every message, even if response times vary during busy periods. We do not accept casino partnership enquiries — please do not send them.
