What SF Info covers
SF Info is an editorial project that reviews the technical trust layer of non-UKGC-licensed online casinos: transport encryption, certificate configuration, application headers, session handling, RNG certification and provably-fair mechanics. We describe the market so that a UK reader can see the trade-offs behind marketing pages. We do not rank operators. We do not link to operators. We do not carry affiliate revenue.
Editorial approach
Every article on this site is written under a named byline. The named author is a real person with disclosed background. Every review claim references an external, verifiable source where one exists — a testing-lab register, a browser-vendor documentation page, a published incident report. Where a claim rests only on our own observation, we say so explicitly. We do not accept payment from operators for coverage, do not accept gifts, and do not run sponsored content.
Reviewer background
Ethan Blackwood is the reviewer on this site. Ethan has worked on the technical trust layer of offshore operators since 2016, focusing on TLS configuration, testing-lab certificates, RNG independence and API surface. Prior roles were in web-application security. Ethan reviews using the tools listed on each page — browser developer tools, external scanners (Qualys, Mozilla Observatory), certificate transparency logs, and testing-lab public registers. Fieldwork covers Curaçao-licensed, Anjouan-licensed and MGA-licensed operators.
Consumer-warning stance
SF Info's editorial stance is a consumer-warning one. GamStop is a legitimate UK self-exclusion scheme and we treat it as such. We do not describe offshore casino use as a workaround for UK controls, do not publish operator brand endorsements, and do not present the non-UKGC market as a preferable alternative to the UKGC-licensed market. Where the offshore market carries real risks — no UKGC dispute recourse, KYC delayed to withdrawal, weaker breach reporting — we say so on every page.
Corrections and complaints
Errors of fact, broken external links and stale statistics should be reported via the contact page. Corrections are made in the article's next edit cycle and dated in the byline. Substantive changes carry an inline note under the affected section. Complaints about specific pages, editorial policy or reviewer conduct also go via the contact page and receive a response within ten working days.
Not a UK-licensed operator
SF Info is an editorial site. It is not a UKGC-licensed operator, is not a betting exchange, does not accept wagers, does not hold player funds and does not participate in GamStop, because it is not an operator that would participate in GamStop. Nothing on this site should be treated as an offer of a gambling service. Anyone seeking help with problem gambling should contact GamCare (0808 8020 133), GordonMoody, the NHS National Gambling Clinic or BeGambleAware.
