Who we are & why you can trust us.
We are a small team of former journalists, analysts and engineers. We test every casino we recommend. We publish the methodology. And we'll tell you when a bonus isn't worth claiming.
Our mission
Most casino review sites are SEO farms. They rank operators by affiliate commission, not quality. The reviews are written by writers who have never deposited a pound. The rankings shift weekly based on who pays most. We built VaultSpins because UK players particularly those looking at offshore operators deserve better.
Our editorial process is slow. We register with an operator, deposit real money, play through the bonus, request a withdrawal, and time the result. Then we read the fine print, test the support channels at 2am on a Sunday, and verify every licence claim against the regulator's register. A single casino review takes our team roughly four weeks from first deposit to publication.
That's why we cover thirty operators, not three hundred. And why our rankings change slowly because the underlying facts change slowly too.

Funding disclosure
We earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up to casinos via our links. Most of them pay between £100 and £250 per qualified player. This is our only revenue source we take no advertising, sponsored content, or paid placements.
Affiliate commissions do not influence our rankings. Our ranking algorithm is documented, our weights are published, and they are audited independently each quarter. If an operator we love doesn't run an affiliate programme, we still rank them if they deserve it.
