Oliver Croft reviews offshore casinos for UK players, with a focus on the parts operators bury: what a bonus actually costs once the turnover condition is applied, which licence sits behind a site and whether its number resolves in the regulator's register, and how long a stated withdrawal window really means. He writes the licensing, payments and bonus-terms sections of this site.
What I Cover
Licensing. Which regulator sits behind a site, whether the licence number resolves in that regulator’s own register, and what enforcement the jurisdiction actually offers. Curaçao, Malta and Anjouan are not equivalent, and the difference only shows up when something goes wrong.
Bonus terms. The headline percentage is the least useful number in an offer. What matters is the turnover multiple, the base it applies to, and the maximum bet permitted while a bonus is active — the clause that voids more legitimate withdrawals than any other.
Payments and payout speed. The window an operator publishes, what it excludes, and when the clock actually starts. A stated “0–3 hours” begins after verification clears, not after you press withdraw.
Player protection outside the UKGC. What you give up when a site is not covered by GamStop, IBAS or UK affordability rules, stated plainly rather than buried.
How I Work
Every figure published on this site is taken from the operator’s own offer terms on the date shown on the page, and re-read at the next scheduled check. Where an operator does not publish a number — a match rate, a wagering multiple, a per-spin value — that is stated as unpublished rather than estimated. Several entries on our main list tell you to take the multiple off the offer page yourself for exactly this reason.
I do not claim to have deposited at every site listed here, and where a claim cannot be evidenced it is not made. The full method, including what removes a casino from the list, is set out in How We Rate.
Disclosure
This site earns a commission when a reader opens an account through a link on it. That commission does not set the order of any list, and it does not soften a review: the entries on our main page are openly critical of terms that deserve it. Read us as an interested party and verify the licence and the bonus terms on the operator’s own site before depositing.
Corrections
If a figure here no longer matches what an operator publishes, tell me and it gets re-checked: [email protected]. Corrections are made on the page and the updated date moves.
