How we check

This page exists so that the list on the front page can be argued with. It sets out what gets a brand onto the site, what takes it off, and what we refuse to print.

What gets a brand listed

1. A current UK Gambling Commission licence. Not a licence from elsewhere that also accepts British players. If the licence number is not published, the brand is not listed.
2. A cashier we could open on the day of writing. Not a screenshot and not a press release. If the deposit page does not load for a UK visitor, the brand comes off.
3. An offer stated in figures. «Generous bonus» is not an offer. If the operator will not put a number in its own terms, there is nothing to compare.

What takes a brand off

• The licence lapses, is surrendered or is suspended.
• The published offer stops matching the terms behind it.
• Withdrawals stop going out on the rail the cashier advertises.
• The brand leaves the UK market, whatever the front page says.

What we will not print

We do not publish a per-casino payout time. No operator in our list states one in terms it could be held to, and a number invented from «usually about a day» is worse than no number. What we publish instead is the settlement window of the payment rail, which is documented, and we say plainly that the casino’s own review sits in front of it.

We do not publish a score out of ten. A single figure hides the trade-off it is made of. The order of the list follows the payment rail first and the offer second, and that order is stated on every list page.

How we are paid

We earn a commission when a reader opens an account through a link here. It does not change the order of the list, the figures we print, or what we say about an operator. A brand with no commercial arrangement at all outranks one with a rich arrangement whenever the rail and the offer say so.

Some outbound links inside older articles are also commercial. An arrangement of that kind buys a link in a sentence that was going to be written anyway; it does not buy the sentence, a place in any list, or a number. Where a figure sits next to such a link, the figure comes from the same source as every other figure on this site — the operator’s own terms, the payment scheme’s published rules, or the regulator’s register — and where none of those states it, the page prints nothing.
