About Our Editorial Team

We are a small group of writers and researchers who spend our days unpacking how casinos operating outside the UK self-exclusion scheme actually work. Our readers usually know the basics already. What they want is a clear view of the trade-offs, and that is what we set out to provide.

What we focus on

Sites licensed abroad can offer things UK-licensed operators cannot, such as different payment options, looser stake rules or bonus structures that work differently. They also come with real downsides: weaker routes for complaints, protections that vary by licence, and none of the safeguards built into the UK system. We think readers deserve to see both sides in plain language, without hype.

• Licensing and oversight: what an offshore licence does and does not guarantee.
• Payments: how deposits and withdrawals tend to behave, including fees, verification checks and delays.
• Bonus terms: how wagering rules, caps and restrictions shape the true value of an offer.
• Player safety: which tools exist, and which ones are missing.

How we write

We explain rather than promote. Every point we make should be traceable to published terms, licence details or the rules a site sets for itself. When information is unclear or changes, we say so instead of filling gaps with guesswork. We update pages as terms shift, because outdated details help nobody.

A word on responsibility

If you have chosen to self-exclude, that decision matters, and we would encourage you to stick with it. Gambling should only ever be entertainment paid for with money you can afford to lose. If it stops feeling that way, free and confidential support services are available across the UK, and reaching out early makes a difference.

We are always keen to hear from readers, whether you have spotted an error, have a question about a term you do not understand, or want to suggest a subject we have not covered yet, so please contact us and our team will get back to you.
