What this site is
An editorial site about Curacao-licensed online casinos, written for players in the UK. The focus is deliberately narrow: one licensing jurisdiction, one audience, and the questions that only matter where those two meet.
That narrowness is the point. A general casino site has to hedge, because its readers are in forty countries with forty different legal positions. Everything here assumes you are in the UK, which means it can answer the questions you actually have — whether you are allowed to play, what the licence obliges the operator to do, and what you give up compared with a Gambling Commission site.
Who writes it
Three people, all named, all with a checkable history. Nothing here is published anonymously.
Douglas Uggioni
More than a decade covering online casinos and the regulatory frameworks behind them. He specialises in Curacao licensing — what a licence actually obliges an operator to do, and what that means for the person depositing with it.
Writes: the licence cluster, the casino directory, and fact-checking across the site.
Ilze Jansone
UK-based, specialising in online gambling, casino payments and consumer-facing fintech, with a background spanning editorial strategy, SEO and long-form research. She reads bonus terms line by line so the numbers on a page are the ones that actually apply.
Writes: bonuses and promo codes, payments, and responsible gambling.
Danillo Cassio Feno
Covers live casino, slot mechanics and player-protection issues across the European and Latin American markets. Before turning to journalism he worked with platform providers and payment processors, which is where the verification and payouts coverage comes from.
Writes: casino reviews, licence checks, withdrawals and complaints.
How a review is made
The full method, including the weightings, is on how I rate a casino. In short:
- The licence is verified on the CGA register before anything else. If it does not check out, there is no review.
- An account is opened and funded, and a withdrawal is requested and timed.
- Support is tested with questions that have a correct answer.
- The bonus terms are read in full, from the terms rather than the advert.
- Everything is re-checked quarterly, and sooner if the licence position changes.
What we do not do
- We do not take deposits. This is not a casino. No account here holds money.
- We do not publish operator copy. Nothing on this site is ghostwritten by a casino or supplied by one.
- We do not cover operators we would not use. A casino that fails the licence check does not get a page.
- We do not treat a licence as a guarantee. It is a starting point. It says what an operator is obliged to do, not whether they do it.
On independence
How this site is funded, and whether that affects the order casinos appear in, is set out on how I rate a casino. It is stated there rather than here so it sits beside the method it could affect.
