Information and arithmetic, not advice

This site publishes information and arithmetic. It does not publish advice, and no total printed anywhere on it is a recommendation to take an offer up. A page here takes an advertised number, prices the conditions fastened to it, and prints what the subtraction leaves. Whether that leaves anything worth having is a judgement for the reader, and the working is shown so the judgement can be made rather than taken on trust.

Nothing on this site is tax advice, legal advice or financial advice, and none of it is written with any individual reader’s circumstances in view. What a reader does with a total is theirs to decide, and the arithmetic is published in full precisely so that the decision is theirs.

This site takes no stakes, holds no balances and processes no payments, so there is nothing here for a reader to have an account with. Every account, every balance and every condition discussed on these pages belongs to somebody else.

The assumptions the figures rest on

Four assumptions run through every calculation, and they are fixed deliberately so that pages do not contradict one another. A spin is valued at 10p. A slot is taken to return 96 per cent. A play-through of 40 times is assumed where an offer carries one. Game weighting stands at 1, meaning slots count whole. Deviations happen where a page’s own subject demands one, and where they happen the sentence says so.

No assumption there is a reading taken from any particular operator’s conditions. They are stated inputs, chosen to be ordinary for this part of the market. Change any one of them and the total changes with it, which is the honest answer to why a figure here may not match a figure anywhere else.

Two consequences of that arithmetic are worth stating here rather than leaving to be discovered. Every total on this site is a mean struck across many repetitions, and nobody is ever paid a mean. Fifty spins valued at 10p on a game returning 96 per cent average out at £4.80, and the likeliest single outcome of those fifty spins is less than that. And the multiple decides everything: at 96 per cent, ten times play-through leaves 60 per cent of a credit, 25 times leaves nothing at all, and anything beyond 25 times is a negative number.

Whose terms actually govern

The operator’s live conditions govern. Where a page and a cashier disagree about a multiple, an expiry, a maximum stake or an eligible method, the cashier’s terms are what bind. Read them before depositing, every time, because they are the document a dispute would be decided on.

Nothing printed here forms part of any contract between a reader and an operator, and this site is not party to that contract. A modelled total is an argument about what a set of conditions is worth; it is not a quotation, an entitlement or an offer, and no operator is bound by it.

Offers move without notice. A multiple is raised, a window is shortened, a method is dropped from the eligible list, a promotion is withdrawn. Each sheet prints a reference, a revision and a checked date in the ruled line above its heading, so the age of a calculation is visible rather than hidden. A reader who treats that date as the shelf life of the figures beneath it will not be caught out.

Where a figure on a page has gone stale, saying so is what Write to the sheet is for, and a wrong total is put right rather than quietly left standing.

Adults only

Gambling is for adults, and that is a rule rather than a preference. Nothing here is intended for anybody under 18, and no page is written as though it were.

The rule has a mechanism behind it where a British licence is held. Before anybody plays at a licensed site, that site has to find out and verify who they are, and the duty bites on bonus rounds and on free-to-play versions of games as hard as on a stake. A site holding no Great Britain licence is under no such duty, which is one of the things a reader gives up by leaving the register, and Staying in control sets out the rest of that list.

The links are commercial

Links to offers on this site are commercial. Where a reader follows one and opens an account, this site may be paid for it. That arrangement pays for the research and it does not buy a figure, and the mechanics of it are described on How this sheet is paid.

The one thing this site asks a reader to take on trust is that each figure traces to a primary source, and the sheet references exist so that the claim can be tested rather than believed. A total that cannot survive being checked against the source behind it has no business being printed, whoever is paying for the page it sits on.

What this page deliberately leaves out

This page is not a contract and does not pretend to be one. It names no jurisdiction, no company and no registration number, because a detail of that kind is published with this site’s ownership information rather than invented into prose. A page that made one up would read as more solid and be worth considerably less.

The same discipline runs through Privacy and Cookies, both of which say in terms where they cannot be specific instead of filling the gap. Where a reader needs a detail this page does not carry, it is published with the site’s ownership information or available on request, and that is the whole of the answer.
