iGaming Journalist
I've been reviewing and testing online casinos across the UK and international markets for over eight years, with a particular focus on non-GamStop platforms. I personally verify licensing, test withdrawal speeds, and evaluate bonus fairness before recommending any site. My mission is to help UK players make informed, safe choices when seeking casinos not on GamStop.
I hold a degree in Journalism from the University of Leeds and have contributed to several major iGaming publications. Every recommendation on BasswareGames has passed my rigorous 30-point evaluation — covering licensing, security, game variety, bonus fairness, and customer support quality.
In-depth testing of offshore-licensed platforms, including account creation, live play, and real-money withdrawals across multiple payment methods.
Deep knowledge of UKGC rules, licensing frameworks (MGA, Gibraltar, Curaçao), and how they affect player rights and protections in 2025.
Evaluating welcome bonuses, wagering requirements, free spin terms, and cashback deals to identify genuinely player-friendly offers.
Committed to clear, balanced reporting that highlights both the benefits and risks of non-GamStop platforms, with signposting to GamCare and BeGambleAware.
Every casino reviewed on BasswareGames goes through my personal 30-point checklist before appearing on the site:
Only casinos that pass every check are listed. I update all ratings monthly — the list you see reflects the current state of each platform as of May 2025.
