Who Rachel Doughty is
Rachel Doughty
Editor, Casino Warnings · Bristol
Rachel started Casino Warnings to answer one question for British players: what has this casino's licence holder actually done, according to the regulator? Every page on the site starts from that record, then moves on to the terms that decide whether you get paid.
She writes in plain English and keeps each claim next to the document it came from, so you can check it yourself.
What Rachel checks before a casino appears here
Each article contains the same five steps in this order.
- 1The licence
The company name, account number, and all website addresses on the Gambling Commission register. Only casinos listed on the Commission’s website are listed on this site.
- 2The record
The Commission’s “regulatory action register” and “enforcement notices” are fully analyzed based on the name of the company and the brand.
- 3The terms
Articles are analyzed based on the casino’s terms and conditions and rules regarding promotional offers.
- 4The money
Information regarding a casino’s customer funds protection and expected withdrawal times and fees are also analyzed.
- 5The proof
Each claim is supported by a screenshot of the page where the evidence can be found.
More information about our process and how we assign scores can be found in our review process for casinos.
