About Us

Best Blackjack Casinos exists for one purpose: to help UK players who have self-excluded through Gamstop find honestly reviewed, independently assessed casino sites where they can still play. Every page on this site — the rankings, the reviews, the guidance — is built around that single reader need.

Who We Are

We are an independent editorial team based in the UK. We do not operate any of the casinos listed on this site, and we are not affiliated with Gamstop or any gambling regulator. Our income comes from referral arrangements with the operators we list — meaning we may earn a commission when a reader visits a site through one of our links. That relationship is disclosed wherever commercial content appears, and it does not determine which sites rank highest or how they are assessed. Position is earned by editorial score, not by commercial arrangement.

You can reach us directly at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all enquiries within two working days. If you have a question about a specific review, a correction to suggest, or a site you think deserves a look, we welcome it — accurate information is the whole point of what we do.

What This Site Covers

Our focus is non-Gamstop casinos: sites licensed outside the UK Gambling Commission's framework that are therefore not connected to the Gamstop self-exclusion register. We review these sites against the same practical criteria any player would care about — game depth, bonus conditions, payment options and withdrawal reliability — with particular attention to blackjack tables, since that is what most of our readers are here for.

Alongside full site reviews, we cover:

• Welcome bonuses and how their terms actually work in practice
• Payment methods available to UK players, including processing times and fees
• The range and quality of blackjack variants on offer — live dealer, RNG, and side-bet games
• Responsible gambling options at sites outside the Gamstop scheme

For a full breakdown of the top-rated sites we currently recommend, see our reviewed non-Gamstop casino rankings.

How We Research and Rank

Every site listed on Best Blackjack Casinos is researched and verified by our editorial team before it appears. We do not claim to have deposited or withdrawn at every site — we are honest about the distinction between desk research and live testing. What we do is systematic: we examine licence documentation, read published terms in full, verify bonus conditions against the operator's own pages, and assess game libraries by browsing them directly.

Our editorial ratings are scored on the following criteria:

1. Blackjack range — the number and quality of variants, including live dealer options and RNG tables
2. Bonus value and fairness — headline offer size weighed against wagering requirements, game restrictions and time limits
3. Payment reliability — methods accepted, withdrawal speed, and any fees applied to UK players
4. Licensing and player protections — the jurisdiction of the licence held, what protections that offers, and whether the operator provides its own responsible gambling tools
5. Site quality — mobile experience, customer support availability, and overall ease of use

Scores are reviewed periodically and updated when an operator's terms, ownership or offering changes materially. The date shown at the top of each page reflects the most recent review cycle.

Our Standards for Listed Sites

We do not list every non-Gamstop casino we encounter. Sites are excluded from our recommendations if they carry no verifiable licence, if their bonus terms are materially misleading, or if we find credible unresolved complaints about withheld withdrawals. We apply these filters consistently — including to sites that offer higher commercial rates than others.

We also ask that every site we list provides at least basic responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, session reminders or a self-exclusion option at operator level. For guidance on using those tools, see our responsible gambling page.

A Note on Self-Exclusion and Eligibility

Non-Gamstop casinos operate under licences issued outside the UK — commonly in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, Malta (for operators who have chosen not to hold a UKGC licence) or Gibraltar. Because they are not part of the Gamstop scheme, a Gamstop self-exclusion has no effect at these sites. Players are responsible for understanding the terms of their own self-exclusion and for making informed decisions about where they choose to play. All sites listed here are for adults aged 18 and over.

If you have questions about our listed sites or want to understand more about how non-Gamstop operators differ from UKGC-licensed casinos, our main casino guide covers this in full detail.

Get in Touch

We are always open to corrections, reader feedback and suggestions. If you have had an experience — positive or negative — with any site we have reviewed, we want to hear about it. Reader insight helps us keep assessments accurate between formal review cycles.
