About Us
Who We Are
Baccarat Casino Sites is an independent comparison site based in the UK, focused on reviewing and ranking online casinos that operate outside the Gamstop self-exclusion scheme. Our editorial team researches the options available to UK players who have chosen to seek alternatives to Gamstop-registered operators — covering welcome offers, game libraries, payment methods, and overall player experience.
We do not operate any casino, accept bets, or hold funds. We are a publisher. Every recommendation on this site is the result of desk research and editorial assessment, not paid placement.
What We Cover and Why
UK players who have self-excluded through Gamstop are not prevented by law from playing at casinos licensed outside of Great Britain. A number of offshore operators — licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Malta, or Gibraltar — accept UK players and are not enrolled in the Gamstop scheme. Our site exists to help those players make more informed choices among those options.
Our coverage spans welcome bonuses, baccarat and table game availability, slots catalogues, live dealer rooms, deposit and withdrawal methods, and customer support quality. We also cover responsible gambling resources, because we believe access to that information matters regardless of which operator a player chooses.
For a full list of our current top-rated sites, see our non-Gamstop casinos UK review page.
How We Assess and Rank Casinos
Every casino listed on this site is reviewed against a consistent set of criteria. Commission arrangements do not determine position — a site either earns its place or it does not. Below is a summary of the factors we weigh.
| Assessment Area | What We Look At |
|---|---|
| Licensing and regulation | Where the operator is licensed, what player protections apply, and whether the licence is verifiable |
| Welcome offer | Headline bonus value, wagering requirements, eligible games, and time limits |
| Game library | Depth of baccarat and table games, live dealer coverage, slots volume, and software providers |
| Payment methods | Deposit and withdrawal options available to UK players, processing times, and any fees |
| Customer support | Available channels, response times, and language support |
| Mobile experience | Browser compatibility and, where applicable, dedicated app availability |
| Responsible gambling tools | Deposit limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion options independent of Gamstop |
Our editorial ratings reflect the overall result of this assessment. A casino rated 9.9 — such as Smash Casino — has performed strongly across most or all of these areas as reviewed at the time of publication. Ratings are editorial judgements, not customer review aggregates, and they are revisited when material changes occur.
Our Commercial Relationship With Listed Casinos
This site earns commission when a reader follows a link to a listed casino and registers or deposits. That commercial relationship is disclosed plainly here and is the basis on which this site is funded. It does not determine editorial rankings. A casino cannot buy a higher position, and a strong commercial arrangement with a lower-rated operator does not move it up the list. If a casino does not meet our standards, it is not listed regardless of any commercial consideration.
Who This Site Is For
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over who are resident in Great Britain. The casinos reviewed here operate under licences issued outside the UK Gambling Commission's jurisdiction. They are not enrolled in Gamstop and are not subject to UKGC rules on affordability checks, advertising standards, or mandatory player protections that apply to fully licensed UK operators.
Readers should be aware of this distinction before registering at any site listed here. We summarise the relevant differences on our main casino review page and encourage every reader to review our responsible gambling guidance before playing.
A Note on Responsible Gambling
Gambling carries financial risk. We do not encourage anyone to gamble beyond what they can afford to lose, and we do not present any offer or casino as a reliable route to profit. Players who feel their gambling is causing harm have access to independent support services in the UK, including GamCare and Gambling Therapy, entirely separate from Gamstop or any individual operator.
Most of the casinos we review offer their own deposit limits, session limits, and self-exclusion tools at account level. We cover these under each individual review. More detail is available on our responsible gambling page.
Accuracy and Updates
Casino offers, terms, and licences change. We review listed casinos on a rolling basis and update pages when we identify material changes to an offer, a rating, or an operator's status. The update date shown at the top of each page reflects the most recent editorial review of that page's content.
If you spot something that looks out of date or inaccurate, we want to know. Readers with direct experience of a listed casino are a useful source of information, and corrections submitted in good faith are always investigated. You can reach the editorial team through our contact page.
Get in Touch
For editorial queries, factual corrections, or general questions about the site, write to us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all substantive enquiries within two working days.
For complaints about a specific casino, we recommend contacting that operator's support team directly in the first instance, then escalating to the licensing authority named in that casino's footer if the matter is not resolved. Our contact page has further details.
