Every review on After Dark is built from Great Britain Gambling Commission register pages and nothing else. We read the record for one named company, report what it says with the date we read it, and say plainly what it leaves out.
What we read
For each casino we retrieve the official record for the named company: its account number, licence number, licensed activities, the status of each activity and the dates on record. Where the brand is not the company name, we also retrieve the trading-names page that connects the two. We also read the company's regulatory-actions page, which lists any fine, settlement or licence condition the Commission has imposed. Where a brand search returns more than one business, we record the search result as it appeared. Every page is dated to the minute in UTC, and every fact in a review is tied to the page it came from.
The licence and trading-names pages for bet365, LeoVegas and Mr Green were retrieved on 19 October 2026 at 19:12 UTC. Their regulatory-actions pages, and every page for Grosvenor, PlayOJO and William Hill, were retrieved on 28 October 2026 at 18:26 UTC. Each source carries its own date on the review that cites it, and all of them are listed together on the comparison page.
What we never test
We do not open accounts, play games, deposit or withdraw money, contact customer support or take up offers. We do not check whether a casino is legal or available in any particular country. Because none of that is tested, none of it is reviewed. The checklist on every review shows this line by line:
- Register entry for the named entityChecked
- Regulatory actions on that entityChecked
- Account sign-up or loginNot tested
- Games and game fairnessNot tested
- Deposit and withdrawal methodsNot tested
- Payment speed and feesNot tested
- Customer supportNot tested
- Promotions and their wagering requirementsNot tested
- Legal availability in your countryNot tested
Why there are no scores
A score implies that someone weighed games, payments, support and terms against each other. We did not, so any number we printed would be decoration. The same goes for star ratings, awards, "best casino" lists and licence badges. Reviews appear in alphabetical order, and that order is not a ranking.
Companies, brands and history
A licence belongs to a company, and a brand can involve several companies over time. When a record shows an ended licence, as with the surrendered Mr Green Limited licence, we describe that company's history and the current search result separately and make no claim about the brand today. When a brand appears only as a trading name, as on the bet365 register record, we cite the trading-names page as its own source.

Jurisdiction and dates
The register covers Great Britain. Nothing in a review is a statement that a casino is legal, safe or available in Malaysia or anywhere else. Register entries change, so every review shows the retrieval time, and the live register is always the more current source. If a record has changed since the date shown, the page is out of date and the register is right.
Corrections and independence
After Dark has no affiliation with any casino operator or regulator, no affiliate links and no paid placements. After Dark is not a gambling operator and holds no gambling licence. If the official record shows something different from a review, the review will be corrected to match it and the update date changed.
Images
The photograph on the home page is a stock illustration of the casino subject, not an operator image or evidence of testing. Each review also shows a dated screenshot of the company's licence summary on the Gambling Commission register, cropped but otherwise unedited, so you can see the record the review is built on. Brand logos appear on each licence slip only to identify the brand the record covers; they are trademarks of their owners and imply no endorsement. The photographer, and the source of every logo, are credited on the About page.
