About Us

Who We Are and Who We Write For

Behind the site is a small editorial team led by Megan Ashworth. Megan goes through the full terms, the bonus rules and the cashier pages of each casino we cover, using nothing except the pages the operators put out themselves. So when you read 'we' here, it means that team and that habit: taking a casino's own wording and turning it into what it means at the cashier and at the tables.

Our readers are adults in the UK who are considering a site with no UK Gambling Commission licence and would like its rules spelled out first. The questions we try to answer at a glance: how many pounds of bets stand between a bonus and a withdrawal, what the weekly ceiling on payouts is, and which papers the casino may ask to see – without reading every set of terms yourself.

We keep every amount in the currency the casino sets. Sterling stays sterling and euro figures stay in euros; when we line casinos up against each other, euros meet euros and pounds meet pounds, never one against the other.

If you are under 18, or you have signed up to GAMSTOP, please stop here: none of this is written for you.

How We Are Funded, and What Money Cannot Change

Some links on the site earn us a commission if you open a casino account after clicking them. That income keeps the site running, and you never pay to read it.

No payment can move a casino up the order, soften the verdict on it or take a drawback out of its review. The order reflects how each casino fares against the checks we publish – an editorial judgement rather than a number – and each review lists the price of a casino's strong points, whatever arrangement sits behind its link.

Bad news gets the same plain words as good news. A win cap on an offer, a small daily withdrawal ceiling for new players or a rule that your deposit must be staked several times before it can leave all go into the review as they are.

The site is not a casino. There are no accounts to open here, no deposits, no bets and no balances, and we never look after money for anyone.

What We Read Before a Casino Is Listed

The reading always starts in the same place: the casino's list of excluded countries. If the United Kingdom is on it, there is nothing more to review. If it is not, we work through seven areas, always in this order:

• Licence and regulatory scope – the authority behind the licence, if there is one, and whether its reach extends to UK players. A casino without a UK Gambling Commission licence is not part of GAMSTOP, and the Commission's complaint routes do not cover it.
• The operating company – the business the terms name as running the site, and whether that business runs another casino on our pages too.
• Bonus terms in full – each welcome stage, the wagering multiple and the sum it applies to, the largest bet allowed, the time limit, any cap on winnings and the games that count.
• Payments and account currency – whether pounds are offered as a balance currency, which methods take deposits, which of those also send money back and the minimum and maximum amounts at the cashier.
• Withdrawals in practice – the smallest payout, the daily, weekly and monthly ceilings, any requirement to stake a deposit before it can leave and the paperwork a payout can trigger.
• Support and complaints – the channels and their hours, the steps of the complaint procedure and where that procedure finishes.
• Player-protection tools – limits on deposits, losses and time, reality checks, breaks and self-exclusion, and how quickly each one starts or can be removed.

Each review is read again against the casino's live pages before we change the date shown at the top.

Where Our Research Ends

Our work is reading, not testing. Nobody on the team has opened an account, paid in, played or cashed out at any casino on this site, and the payout times you see are the casino's own. Whether a casino sticks to its rules, or whether an 'instant' payout really is instant, is something we cannot confirm.

Casino terms move quickly: a reload, a cap or a limit can change within weeks, and a figure that was right yesterday may be wrong today. That is why each page carries an update date, and why the casino's current wording always beats ours.

Nor are we lawyers, financial advisers or counsellors; nothing we write says whether gambling suits you. If it is costing you more money or time than you planned, our responsible gambling guidance sets out practical tools and free support across the UK.

Deciding What to Do Next

Treat our reviews of UK casinos not on GamStop as a way to shorten your list, not as a decision made for you. Pick the single number you care about most – the lowest withdrawal, the wagering multiple, the payout ceiling or the controls available – and open that casino's current terms before you register.

Settle on a spending limit before your first session and turn on whatever limits the casino itself provides. A gambling block from your bank, or blocking software on your phone and computer, gives you a second barrier that no casino can switch off.
