Editorial Policy

Best Online Casinos UK 2026 – Licensed Sites Compared (“this site”) publishes guides to help adults in Great Britain make safer, better-informed choices about online casinos. This page explains how we create, check and update our content.

Our principles

We put three things first: accuracy, independence and clarity. Player safety always comes before entertainment or offers.

Accuracy and sources

We check regulatory facts against primary sources, mainly the UK Gambling Commission, GOV.UK and GAMSTOP, and we link to those sources in our articles. Where a figure comes from news reports rather than an official source, we say so. Information about individual operators, such as bonus terms or withdrawal times, is checked against the operator’s own website at the time of writing.

Independence

We do not accept payment to include, rank or review any operator, and we do not use affiliate links. No operator can see or approve our content before it is published. Our approach to advertising is set out in our Advertising Policy.

Clear, balanced writing

We write in plain British English and explain technical terms such as “wagering requirement” when we first use them. We describe the risks and drawbacks as well as the benefits. We never present gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems.

What we will and won’t cover

  • We only recommend casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
  • We do not promote unlicensed, offshore or “non-GAMSTOP” casinos.
  • We do not publish content aimed at people under 18.
  • We do not publish operator test results, ratings or rankings unless we have carried out the test ourselves.

Use of AI

We may use AI tools to help plan articles and prepare first drafts. AI is never the final step. Before anything is published, the operator checks the facts against official sources, edits the text and decides whether it is ready to go live. Articles drafted with AI help say so on the page.

Safer gambling

Our guides include safer gambling information where it is relevant, such as deposit limits, time-outs, GAMSTOP self-exclusion and the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133). We encourage readers to set a budget before they play and to treat gambling as entertainment, not income.

Reviews and updates

UK gambling rules and operator terms change often. We review our articles regularly and update them when rules, terms or other key facts change. Each article shows the month its information was last checked.

Corrections

If you find an error, please email ipsosna@gmail.com and tell us which page and sentence you mean. We will check it against the source and correct the article if we got it wrong.
