About Payvat
Transparency, accuracy, and responsible information — the principles that guide everything we do.
Who We Are
Payvat is a UK-focused informational aggregator that compiles publicly available data about online casino operators licensed by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission. We are not a gambling operator — we do not accept bets, handle deposits, or process any financial transactions. Our team consists of researchers and writers who are passionate about consumer transparency in the regulated gambling industry.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward: to provide UK residents with clear, unbiased, and well-structured information about the licensed online casinos available to them. We believe that informed decision-making is the cornerstone of responsible gambling. By centralising key data — licences, bonus structures, wagering requirements, and operator reputations — we aim to save our readers time and reduce confusion.
Our Values
- Accuracy: Every piece of data we publish is cross-referenced with official operator websites and UKGC records. We update our content regularly to reflect changes.
- Transparency: We openly disclose our affiliate relationships. Commercial partnerships never influence our editorial assessments or the order in which operators appear.
- Responsibility: We actively promote responsible gambling. Every page on our site includes links to support organisations such as GambleAware, GamCare, and GamStop.
- Independence: Our editorial team operates independently from any commercial agreements. Ratings are based on a consistent methodology, not financial incentives.
How We Evaluate Operators
Our editorial ratings consider multiple publicly verifiable factors:
- Licensing & Compliance: Valid UKGC licence status, history of regulatory actions, and adherence to responsible gambling standards.
- Bonus Fairness: Wagering requirements, expiration periods, game restrictions, and overall transparency of promotional terms.
- User Experience: Website usability, mobile compatibility, game variety from reputable software providers, and customer support availability.
- Payment Reliability: Range of deposit and withdrawal methods, processing times as reported by users, and any known payment-related complaints.
- Reputation: Longevity in the market, player feedback from independent forums, and publicly available dispute resolution records.
