About DW Info

What DW Info is

DW Info is a small independent editorial site covering the regulation of non gamstop casinos from a UK adult-consumer perspective. Its scope is deliberately narrow: it describes the UK Gambling Act 2005, the LCCP, the 2023 White Paper reforms, and the offshore counterparts — MGA, Curaçao GCB and Anjouan — that a British reader will encounter when researching the term. The frame is consumer-warning throughout. The site does not operate an affiliate portal, does not carry operator advertising, and does not accept sponsored content from gambling businesses.

Editorial policy

The editorial policy has three rules. First, every substantive claim about UK statute or LCCP condition is footnoted or paraphrased against a primary source — the Act, the LCCP, or a Commission publication. Second, offshore-regulator claims are paraphrased against the regulator's own published framework where it is public, and flagged as best-available where it is not. Third, consumer-warning framing is applied consistently: no evasion phrasing, no how-to-bypass content, no encouragement to gamble.

Named authorship

Every article is written under a named byline. The lead analyst is Isabella Farrell, whose background is regulatory-policy research and gambling-law commentary. Isabella tracks UK gambling law and its offshore counterparts, including the 2023 White Paper reforms, GamStop condition 3.5.5, and comparative regulator effectiveness. She reads UKGC consultation responses, CJEU gambling case law and offshore-regulator publications as a matter of daily work.

How the site is funded

DW Info is a self-funded editorial project. It does not accept operator advertising, affiliate revenue, sponsored posts, or paid placement. The site's running costs — hosting, domain, occasional legal-database subscriptions — are covered by the editors personally. This funding model is what enables the consumer-warning framing to remain intact: no revenue depends on any operator's traffic.

What DW Info is not

DW Info is not a gambling operator, not an affiliate, not a comparison site and not a bonus-listing site. It does not encourage readers to open accounts, and it does not provide operator-selection advice. It carries no operator links. Content is descriptive and analytical rather than transactional. If you are looking for site rankings, promotional codes or bonus lists, this is not the site for that purpose.

Accuracy and corrections

Errors will happen. The correction policy is that any material factual error will be corrected within seven business days of a documented notification. Corrections are made in-line, with a dated correction note appended at the foot of the affected article where the correction changes the substance of a claim. Minor typographical corrections are made silently.

Consumer-warning framing

The keyword this site covers — non gamstop casinos — is one of the most sensitive in the UK gambling landscape, because it is often searched by consumers who have already self-excluded from UKGC-licensed operators through GamStop. The site's approach is to treat GamStop as a legitimate consumer-protection scheme, to acknowledge the sensitivity, to include a substantial responsible-gambling section on every money page, and to include no content that could reasonably be read as helping a self-excluded consumer circumvent their exclusion. If in doubt, the framing pulls toward protection.

Editorial team background

The DW Info editorial team is small by design. Isabella Farrell leads regulatory analysis and writes the great majority of the site's substantive content. A subeditor reviews for factual accuracy and UK-English house style before publication. A separate reader — a UK-qualified lawyer, unpaid, contributing occasional pro-bono review — checks statutory-citation paragraphs prior to any material update to the site's coverage of the Gambling Act, the LCCP or the 2023 White Paper. Editorial decisions are made by consensus among the team, with Isabella carrying the final call on regulatory-content questions.

Scope boundaries

DW Info focuses on regulation as it affects UK adult consumers looking at the non gamstop casinos category. We do not cover sports-betting-specific regulation except where it intersects with online-casino regulation. We do not cover lottery regulation. We do not cover land-based casino regulation. We do not cover the National Lottery, which is a separate statutory regime under the National Lottery Act 1993. The scope is intentionally tight so that the coverage is deeper on the topics we do cover.

How to reach us

Editorial contact and correction requests should be sent through the site's contact page. We prefer written correspondence for factual matters, so that citations can be verified. We respond to reasonable enquiries within seven business days.
