About StakeVault

Last updated: 3 August 2026

What We Do

StakeVault is an independent data-editorial publication covering the offshore gambling landscape for UK players. We analyse licensing frameworks, regulatory developments, market data, and player-protection standards across jurisdictions that operate outside the UK Gambling Commission’s remit.

Our content focuses on verifiable facts rather than promotional recommendations. We do not rank, endorse, or promote specific gambling operators. Instead, we provide the analytical framework and statistical context that readers need to make their own informed decisions.

Editorial Methodology

Every article published on StakeVault follows a structured editorial process designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and analytical rigour.

Our research begins with primary sources: regulatory publications from bodies such as the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, and the Curaçao Gaming Authority; industry reports from organisations including H2 Gambling Capital, the Betting and Gaming Council, and IMARC Group; and official government documents including budget statements and statutory instruments.

Statistical claims are attributed to their original source and include the publication date. Where data is drawn from industry reports, we cite the originating research body rather than secondary media coverage. Expert quotes are sourced from on-record public statements made by regulatory officials, industry executives, and policy analysts, with the original publication identified.

Content is reviewed against the following criteria before publication: factual accuracy of all statistical claims, correct attribution of expert commentary, currency of regulatory and legal information, absence of promotional language or operator endorsements, and completeness of responsible-gambling context.

Content Standards

We maintain a strict separation between editorial content and any commercial relationships. Our articles do not contain operator rankings, “best of” lists, or promotional calls to action. When bonus structures, payment methods, or licensing details are discussed, they are treated as subjects of analysis rather than recommendations.

All content is produced by our editorial team, which specialises in offshore iGaming regulation, non-UKGC licensing frameworks, and player-protection analysis. The team draws on collective experience spanning multiple regulatory jurisdictions and years of direct engagement with licensing authorities, compliance professionals, and industry data providers.

Data Verification

We cross-reference data points across multiple sources before publication. Where a single statistic appears in multiple industry reports with differing figures, we note the discrepancy and cite the source we consider most authoritative based on methodology and proximity to primary data collection.

Regulatory information is verified directly against official register databases where available. Licence numbers, regulatory status changes, and compliance requirements are checked against the relevant authority’s public records rather than operator self-declarations.

Corrections and Updates

We are committed to correcting factual errors promptly. If you identify an inaccuracy in any article on StakeVault, we encourage you to contact us so we can investigate and update the content if warranted. Material corrections are noted within the article.

Articles covering rapidly evolving topics — such as regulatory reforms, tax changes, and licensing transitions — are reviewed and updated periodically to ensure continued accuracy. The date of the most recent review is displayed on each article.

Responsible Gambling Statement

Gambling involves financial risk and can be addictive. Our content is intended for informational and educational purposes only. We do not encourage gambling activity, and we recognise that some readers may be seeking information specifically because they are navigating a difficult relationship with gambling. If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related harm, free and confidential support is available from GamCare (0808 8020 133) and GambleAware.
