About RBSAB
We cover newly launched casinos that operate outside the UK Gambling Commission and GamStop, for readers in the United Kingdom. One page, one analyst, and a deliberately narrow remit.
What the name stands for
RBSAB stands for Real Betting, Slots and Bonuses, and the first word is the one doing the work. Every bonus figure on this site is taken from the operator's own published terms and carries the date it was confirmed. Where an operator publishes a euro amount we show the euro amount, rather than converting it and presenting the result as their sterling offer. Where we have not tested something, the page says untested instead of estimating.
What this site is for
There is no shortage of pages listing casinos not on GamStop. Almost all of them rank by bonus size, and almost none of them distinguish a genuine new operator from an existing company launching its ninth skin. That distinction is the reason this site exists. When a casino has no payout history and no complaint record, the only honest way to assess it is to assess the company behind it, and that is what we do.
We are not a portal and we do not try to cover the whole market. The remit is new launches aimed at UK players, and when a site has been trading long enough to have a record we stop treating it as new.
How we test
Every operator goes through the same sequence: identify the licensee, verify the licence number in the issuing register, search the licensee for its other brands, read the withdrawal terms before the bonus terms, and put a specific question to support before depositing. Where we run a full deposit and withdrawal cycle we publish the timing and the date. Where we have not, the review says untested rather than estimating.
The full criteria, their weightings and what gets a brand removed are set out at how we rate.
What we will not tell you
We will not tell you an offshore casino is safe. A site that opened this year cannot demonstrate safety, and the word flatters the operator at the reader's expense. We will not print a bonus figure that does not appear in the operator's own published terms, which is why several cards on this site show no welcome amount at all. And we will not publish a payout speed we have not measured ourselves.
We also will not pretend the trade you are making is neutral. These operators are licensed outside Great Britain. You are giving up the UK dispute route, the deposit limit requirements and GamStop itself. That is stated on every relevant page because it is the most important fact about the category.
How we make money
Advertising. When a reader opens an account with an operator listed here, we may receive a commission from that operator, at no cost to the reader. This is the only way the site is funded.
What that money does not buy is placement. The order of the shortlist follows the published weightings applied to what we could verify about each operator. No brand can pay for a position, a rating or a favourable line, and brands we have declined to list stay unlisted regardless of what is on offer. Where our assessment is inconvenient for a commercial partner, the assessment stands.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, we would rather fix it than leave it. That includes bonus terms that have changed, licences that have moved, and payout experiences that contradict ours. Operators are welcome to submit corrections with documentation, and so are readers. Nothing gets removed simply because an operator dislikes it, and corrections that are substantiated are made promptly. Write to us through the contact page.
Gambling responsibly
Because the sites we cover are not connected to GamStop, the usual safety net is absent, and the tools that replace it are ones a reader installs rather than ones an operator enforces. Our responsible gambling page sets out what still works, including free device level blocking, and lists the UK support services.
