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.
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.
| Factor | Weight |
|---|---|
| Trust, licence and transparency | High |
| Payout reality and banking | High |
| Game range and providers | Medium |
| Bonus fairness (not size) | Medium |

We weigh game range, payout reality, banking, transparency, complaint patterns and licence status. Bonus size does not buy a higher score, and a lapsed licence drops a brand fast, as with Paradise 8.
