About Us
TechNottingham was built on a straightforward premise: UK players deserve honest, research-backed information about overseas casinos — not affiliate-driven rankings dressed up as editorial content.
We are an independent review and comparison platform. We have no ownership ties to any casino operator, no exclusive commercial agreements that influence our rankings, and no interest in recommending a site we would not use ourselves. What we do have is a team of people who take this seriously, and a methodology we are willing to put our names to.
Who We Are
TechNottingham is run by a small, focused team based in the United Kingdom. Our backgrounds span consumer journalism, regulatory affairs, software development, and professional gambling. That combination is not accidental — understanding how casinos work technically, legally, and financially is what separates a genuine review from a reworded press release.
We started as a community of people who were frustrated with the quality of gambling information available to UK players. Too many review sites existed purely to funnel traffic to whichever casino paid the highest commission. We wanted to build something different: a platform where the rating a casino receives reflects what it actually deserves, not what it paid for.
What We Do
We test every casino we list. That means real accounts, real deposits, and real withdrawal requests — not hypothetical assessments based on a product description. Our reviewers spend a minimum of two weeks with each platform before a review is published, and every score is checked by a second team member before it goes live.
We cover overseas casinos specifically because that is where UK players increasingly find themselves looking. The domestic market has become more restricted in recent years — credit card deposits are banned, bonus structures are compressed, and withdrawal limits are tighter than they were. Offshore operators operating under licences from Malta, Curacao, and other reputable jurisdictions fill a genuine gap for players who want more flexibility. Our job is to help you identify which of those operators are legitimate, and which are not worth your time or your money.
Our Editorial Standards
We operate under a strict separation between our commercial relationships and our editorial output. Here is what that means in practice:
Affiliate relationships are disclosed. We earn referral commissions when readers sign up to casinos through links on this site. These fees are the same regardless of where a casino appears in our rankings. A casino cannot pay more to rank higher.
Negative findings are published. If a casino fails our testing — slow withdrawals, misleading bonus terms, unresponsive support — that appears in the review. We do not remove critical content at an operator’s request, and we do not accept payment to soften a negative score.
Reviews are updated on a fixed schedule. Online casinos change. Bonus terms are revised, licences lapse, new payment methods appear. We re-evaluate every casino we list at least once every six months, and we update immediately when something significant changes — a new complaint pattern, a change of ownership, or a licence suspension.
Authors are identified. Every review and article on TechNottingham is written by a named team member. We do not publish anonymous content, and we do not use AI-generated copy for casino evaluations.
The Team
James Whitfield — Editor in Chief James has spent over a decade writing about consumer finance and online gambling regulation. He previously worked as a regulatory analyst for a compliance consultancy that advised online gaming operators across Europe. He oversees editorial standards, reviews our methodology annually, and personally evaluates every casino that receives a top-five ranking on the site.
Sarah Okafor — Senior Casino Reviewer Sarah joined TechNottingham after several years as an investigative journalist covering financial services. She specialises in bonus term analysis and payment method testing, and is responsible for our quarterly audit of withdrawal performance across all ranked casinos. She holds a professional certificate in responsible gambling from the University of Bristol.
Daniel Marsh — Technology & Licensing Editor Daniel’s background is in software development and cybersecurity. He evaluates the technical infrastructure of every casino we review — SSL certification, RNG audit trails, mobile performance, and data handling practices. He is also our lead analyst on licensing jurisdictions, maintaining our database of regulator standing and complaint resolution records.
Priya Nair — Responsible Gambling Lead Priya manages our responsible gambling content and ensures that every casino we rank meets our minimum standards for player protection tools. She has a postgraduate background in public health and previously worked with a UK gambling harm reduction charity. She is the reason our responsible gambling criteria carry a mandatory threshold — a casino that fails it cannot score above 3.5 on our scale, regardless of everything else.
Our Location
TechNottingham is based in Nottingham, United Kingdom. We are a remote-first team, which means our reviewers work from across the country — but our editorial operations, compliance checks, and final publishing decisions are all handled from the UK.
We are not registered as a gambling operator. We do not hold a gambling licence, and we do not accept bets. We are a media and comparison business, and we are subject to UK consumer protection law and the ASA’s advertising standards in everything we publish.
Get in Touch
We read every message we receive. Response times vary, but we aim to reply within two working days.

A Note on Responsible Gambling
We are a gambling comparison site, and we think it is important to say this plainly: gambling carries real financial risk, and for some people it causes serious harm.
