About us and our author

We are an independent UK guide to casinos not on GamStop. This page explains who writes the site, how we score offshore brands, and why our honesty extends to ranking a weak brand last rather than hiding it.

Rowan Tasker

UK responsible-gambling-focused casino editor

Rowan has covered UK online casinos since 2017, with a focus on the offshore market and responsible gambling. The non-GamStop space is full of hype and dead bonus codes, so this site exists to do the opposite: rank the brands honestly, explain the risk in plain English, and never frame offshore play as a way around self-exclusion.

  • Tracks operator and licence detail across 14 ranked brands
  • Tests cashier flows, bonus terms and withdrawal routes
  • Flags lapsed licences and weak trust signals openly (see Paradise 8)

How we score non-GamStop casinos

Our score out of 10 weighs game range, payout reality, banking, transparency, complaint patterns and licence status. Bonus size does not buy a higher score. A lapsed or hidden licence drops a brand fast, which is why Paradise 8 sits last at 4.6 despite being long-running. We update rankings as operators change terms.
