About Us

bitbang.co.uk exists for one specific group of people: UK adults who have self-excluded through Gamstop and want clear, honest information about offshore casinos that operate outside that scheme. This page explains who we are, how we work, and what you can reasonably expect from our reviews and rankings.

Who We Are

We are an independent comparison team based in the UK. Our focus is narrow by design: we research and review online casinos and betting sites that are not enrolled in the Gamstop self-exclusion register. We do not cover the full breadth of UK-licensed gambling — other sites do that well. Our value is in going deep on a specific segment that many mainstream comparison sites will not touch.

None of our editorial team invents credentials or fabricates testing activity. Where we have reviewed a casino, it means we have researched its licensing, verified its bonus terms, examined its payment methods and checked its complaint history — not that we have deposited or played. We say "researched" and "verified" because that is what we actually do.

What We Cover and Why

Every casino on this site operates under a licence from a jurisdiction outside the UK Gambling Commission's remit — most commonly Curaçao. That means they are not bound by Gamstop, and players who have self-excluded via that scheme can register with them. Whether to do so is a personal decision. We present the facts; we do not tell adults what to choose.

Our main review page covers the best non-Gamstop casinos available to UK players in detail. This about page is purely about us — our process, our standards and our commercial disclosure.

Our Editorial Process

Every casino we feature goes through the same review checklist before it appears on the site. The factors below are what we actually weigh — nothing is included to pad a score, and no payment influences a position.

1. Licensing and legal standing — we confirm the casino holds a valid licence from a recognised offshore authority before anything else.
2. Bonus terms — we read the wagering requirements, game contributions, maximum bet rules and expiry windows attached to every welcome offer we quote.
3. Payment methods — we verify which deposit and withdrawal options are genuinely available to UK players, the minimum and maximum limits, and realistic processing times.
4. Game range — we check the software providers supplying the library, the presence of live-dealer tables and the quality of the slots catalogue.
5. Player complaint record — we look at public dispute forums and, where available, mediation outcomes before finalising a score.
6. Responsible gambling tools — even outside the UKGC's jurisdiction, we note what self-management tools, if any, each casino offers.

Our editorial ratings are independent assessments, not customer review aggregates. A 9.9 means our research team rates that casino highly against the criteria above — it is not a crowd score.

Commercial Disclosure

Some of the casinos listed on this site pay us a referral commission if a reader signs up through our links. This is how the site funds its research. However, commercial relationships do not determine rankings or ratings. A casino cannot pay to improve its position; it can only appear here if it meets our editorial standards. Lower-ranked options may pay higher commission rates than higher-ranked ones — that is how independent editorial works.

Where an offer appears with material conditions — wagering requirements, currency limits, eligibility restrictions — those conditions appear beside the offer, not buried in a disclaimer elsewhere on the page.

The Casinos We Currently Feature

Our ranked list reflects our research at the time of the last review cycle. The table below gives a snapshot of the options currently featured on the site and the headline welcome offer attached to each.

All bonus figures are those advertised by the operator at the time of our last verification. Welcome bonuses typically carry wagering requirements and eligibility conditions — read the casino's own terms before registering. Offers may change; we aim to keep figures current but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy.

Responsible Gambling

We take this seriously, even though the casinos we cover sit outside UKGC regulation. If you are using this site because you have self-excluded through Gamstop, please read our responsible gambling guidance before proceeding. It covers the tools available at offshore casinos, alternative support organisations and what to do if gambling stops feeling manageable.

All content on this site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. 18+

Keeping Our Information Current

Casino offers, terms and operator details change frequently. We review our featured casinos on a rolling basis and update ratings when material changes occur — new ownership, licensing changes, shifts in payout policy or a pattern of unresolved complaints. The "updated" date shown at the top of each page reflects the most recent review cycle for that specific page.

If you spot something that looks out of date, or if you have had an experience with one of our featured casinos that contradicts our write-up, we want to know. Use the contact page to reach us directly. Reader feedback has corrected our research on more than one occasion, and we treat every substantive report seriously.

Our Terms

Use of this site is subject to our terms and conditions. In summary: this is an information and comparison service, not a gambling operator. We do not hold any gambling licence, process any bets or hold any player funds. Links from this site to casinos take you to third-party platforms that operate under their own terms and licences.
