Our editorial method

How we verify

Follow the company. Check the terms. See the evidence behind each connection.

Explore our approach
  1. Establish the connection

    Match the operating company and its registration number.

  2. Check each casino

    Read its own offers, payments and country restrictions.

  3. Make it traceable

    Keep the source and date alongside the recorded facts.

The connection comes first

What makes two casinos sister sites?

We look for the same operating company and the same company registration number in each casino’s ownership disclosures. Similar names, matching games or a shared software platform do not establish that relationship.

A licence can support the research, but a shared licence alone is not enough. Where we have checked a separate company-register entry, we link that evidence too.

A connection from our records

Santeda International B.V.Company registration 151296

Both casinos name this company in their own disclosures. That is the basis of this sister-site connection.

Facts you can follow

Where the information comes from

Our casino research uses the casino’s own pages and public company or licence registers. We keep each source URL and the date it was read so you can check the basis of a claim.

Ownership

Company disclosures

The operating name and registration number in the casino’s terms, footer or company information.

Licensing

Licence records

The disclosed licence and, where checked, the regulator’s record. A casino’s claim and a current register check are shown separately.

Offers & payments

The individual terms

Offer conditions, wagering, deposit limits and published withdrawal information. These can differ between sisters.

Screenshots

A dated capture

Commercial cards may use separately attributed third-party information. The card names that source; it is not presented as our own independent test.

Reading the country rules

How we classify UK restrictions

A casino does not have to explicitly welcome UK players. Under our rule, when the terms we read do not disclose a UK restriction, we classify it as not restricted under those terms.

What the evidence means for our UK classification
What we findHow we describe it
The UK is named in the restrictionUK restrictedThe terms exclude UK players.
Restricted countries are listed; the UK is absentNot restricted in the termsThe disclosed list does not exclude the UK.
We read the terms and find no country restrictionNo restriction disclosedAlso treated as not restricted under our rule.
The relevant terms have not been readUnknownAn unread or inaccessible page does not establish the casino’s policy.
Country restrictions and licensing are separate checks.

Our classification describes the terms we read. An offshore licence does not establish authorisation to serve players in Great Britain. Website reachability is another separate check, reported only when supported by evidence.

Gambling Commission licensing guidance

Clear about the gaps

What “not verified” means

It means we do not have sufficient evidence for that fact in our records. It does not necessarily mean the casino has failed to disclose it.

Missing information

We leave the gap visible. Another casino’s terms, an average or a similar-looking website cannot fill it.

Conflicting information

Different sources can describe different offers or conditions. Check the source and qualifying terms; a headline alone is not the full agreement.

How a guide is put together

Our guides bring together captured casino pages and public records. Automated extraction and evidence checks support content production. The editorial team reviews pages after publication and can request corrections.

An editorial-team credit identifies responsibility for the process. A completed review date is recorded only after the actual review, separately from the source observation dates.

Research and commercial content

Scores and paid listings

Our editorial scores

“Not rated” means we have not assigned our own score. A sourced ownership connection is not a score or a guarantee about the casino.

Third-party ratings

Where a commercial card shows a rating from Betbond, we identify it as Betbond’s rating. It is separate from our own research.

Some links can earn us a commission. Paid placements are separate from our ownership research and factual comparisons; a commercial relationship does not establish that two casinos are sisters.

Information has a date

Dates, updates and corrections

Source observation
When a source was captured or read. This is the date attached to a recorded fact.
Records updated
The latest evidence date represented in the page’s record. It does not mean every source was checked that day.
Editorial review
When the final content was reviewed. Updating an evidence record does not automatically complete a new editorial review.

If you find conflicting details, compare the source date with the casino’s current terms. For an account or payment issue, contact the casino directly.
