Casinolicence.co.uk is an information directory published by Node Solutions LTD. This editorial policy explains the rules we follow so that readers can judge for themselves whether the site is independent.
Independence
The site is independent of every casino, operator, payment provider and software supplier it mentions. No operator pays for a listing, for wording, for position on a page or for a link. We do not accept gifts, hospitality or commissions from any company described on the site.
The practical test is simple. If a casino changed its marketing, its payouts or its terms, nothing about how we describe it would change unless the public record changed. Licensed pages follow the Gambling Commission's register, and offshore pages follow what a regulator publishes and what the brand itself states.
No affiliate links, no scoring
There are no affiliate links on the site and no tracking links that pay us. We do not score casinos or order them by preference. We do not publish incentives or write calls to action. We do not endorse any brand, licensed or offshore, and no page should be read as a suggestion to use one.
This is a deliberate difference from many sites in this field, where the order of a list follows who pays. Here, lists are ordered in a neutral way, such as alphabetically or by a register field, and say so.
Offshore content
We cover casinos outside UK regulation because UK adults search for them. Every such page states early that these casinos hold no UKGC licence, are not covered by GAMSTOP and remove UK protections. Playing at an unlicensed site is not an offence for the player, because the offence in section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 is the operator's, but that fact does not make a site safe, and we do not suggest it does. Pages end with GAMSTOP, GamCare and BeGambleAware.
See the offshore list and the page on casinos not on GAMSTOP.
Accuracy and sources
Every fact comes from a primary source, restated in our own words and dated where it can change. The sources and method page lists the sources and the process. We leave out statements that we cannot source, including claims by operators about payouts, ownership or history.
The site gives information, not advice. It does not give legal, financial or tax advice. Where a decision matters, read the primary source or speak to a qualified adviser.
Corrections
We correct errors in the open. The process is:
- A reader or a company reports a possible error at info@casinolicence.co.uk.
- We compare the statement with the primary source.
- If it is wrong, we correct the page and update the date shown on it.
- If it is right, we reply with the source.
We do not remove accurate statements at the request of the company they describe. If the source changes, for example when the register shows a new status, we update the page. Details of how to write to us are on the contact page.
Conflicts of interest
Node Solutions LTD publishes the site. If a conflict of interest ever arose that could affect how a page is written, the page would say so. At the date of this policy there is none to declare.
Updates to this policy
This policy applies to every page on the site. If it changes, the change will be made here and the date of the change shown. For the overall approach, read how we work.
Gambling help
Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over only. If gambling is causing you harm, the GamCare National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and open 24 hours, and you can talk to GamCare online. GAMSTOP and BeGambleAware also provide help.
