Our purpose
Burnham Rio publishes payment-first research for adults comparing online casino information in Great Britain. The project began with a simple editorial problem: pages targeting “credit card casinos” often present long promotional lists before explaining that Gambling Commission licensees have been prohibited from accepting credit-card gambling payments since 14 April 2020. We put that material fact first.
Our work is intended to help readers ask better questions. We explain how to identify the legal entity behind a casino, verify a regulatory record, distinguish a payment-network logo from confirmed card acceptance, inspect material bonus conditions and understand how withdrawals may differ from deposits. We do not provide financial or legal advice, guarantee an operator, or suggest that gambling is a way to earn money.
Who publishes the site
The publication is maintained by the Burnham Rio Editorial Team. Our named Payments & Casino Research Editor is Hannah Cross, whose remit covers UK card-payment rules, issuer costs, offshore regulatory distinctions, withdrawal evidence and material promotion terms. Her individual profile explains the experience and methods behind that work.
The source repository is maintained by the GitHub organisation Meridian Stack. Questions, evidence and correction requests can be submitted through the public channel listed on our contact page. Authorship, review dates and structured data are updated together; historical claims are not silently reassigned.
How the website makes money
Burnham Rio uses affiliate tracking links in its casino list and may earn a commission if a reader follows one and completes a qualifying action. The initial brand order and tracking URLs were supplied commercially by the publisher. The price or terms offered to the reader should not change because of the commission.
Commercial position is not an editorial safety score. Affiliate relationships are disclosed above the list, beside each link and on this page, the editorial policy and the terms and disclaimer. Each listing shows its latest evidence-check date and distinguishes advertised commercial details from independently confirmed UK regulatory protection.
Our commitments
- Separate regulator-confirmed facts, operator claims and editorial interpretation.
- Date payment and offer checks so readers can judge freshness.
- Correct material errors openly and update visible copy and schema together.
- Never fabricate first-hand testing, account activity, withdrawal timings or professional credentials.
- Keep responsible-gambling information visible and available from every page.
