Established 2026About Zinvorex
A small review house with one rule: cover fewer brands, and cover them properly.
Founded in 2026, in London
Zinvorex was started in January 2026 by three researchers who had spent years reading regulatory notices, licence conditions and terms documents for a living. We had all noticed the same thing: the UK is one of the most tightly regulated gambling markets in the world, and almost none of that regulation is explained anywhere a normal reader would find it.
So we built an archive instead of a directory. Every entry is a brand we have registered with, funded, verified and withdrawn from. We publish the licence number and the regulator's own record at the top of each review, because the single most useful thing a reader can do before depositing anywhere is spend sixty seconds on the Gambling Commission public register.
We are a UK company, Zinvorex Editorial Ltd, registered in England & Wales (company number 16482207) and based at 5th Floor, 86–90 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NE, United Kingdom.
We are not an operator
We do not accept wagers, hold customer funds, run promotions or operate any casino. We are a publisher. Every transaction happens between you and a licensed operator, under their terms.
We say how we are paid
We earn commission when a reader opens an account through a link here. It costs you nothing and it changes nothing about our scores. The full arrangement is on our Disclosure page.
We correct ourselves in public
When we get something wrong, the entry is amended and the change is noted at the foot of the page. Nothing is quietly edited away. Send us a correction.
Every review takes the same route
Six chapters, followed in order, with no shortcuts for brands that pay us.
Zinvorex is founded
Three researchers who had spent years reading regulatory notices for a living started Zinvorex in January 2026 with a narrow remit: cover fewer brands, and cover them properly. No brand enters the archive without a verified Gambling Commission licence and a funded account opened at our own expense.
The licence check
Every review begins on the regulator’s own register, not on the operator’s marketing pages. We record the account number, the full licence number, the licensed activities and the date the casino permission was granted — and we publish the register link so you can repeat the check in ten seconds.
Money in, money out
We deposit real money, complete identity verification like any other visitor, and then withdraw. We record the exact time from cash-out request to funds arriving, on more than one payment route, and we repeat it. A brand that pays quickly once has not proved anything.
The small print
Wagering multiples, maximum stake rules, conversion caps and expiry windows are pulled out of the terms and rewritten in plain English. Where an offer is genuinely poor value, we say so — including for brands that pay us commission.
The safety net
We count how many clicks it takes to set a deposit cap, trigger a reality check, take a time-out or close an account for good. Tools that are hard to find are tools that do not get used, and we score accordingly.
Published, then revisited
A review is not finished when it goes live. Every entry carries a review date, and we re-open funded accounts on a rolling schedule. When a licence status changes on the register, the entry changes here — usually the same week.
Three desks, one standard
We are a small team and we do not pretend otherwise. Work is divided across three desks, and every published entry has passed through all of them.
Editorial Desk
Reviews & scoring
Writes and maintains every entry in the archive. Holds the funded accounts, runs the withdrawal tests and signs off each score against the eight-measure model.
Compliance Desk
Licence verification
Re-checks every licence number against the Gambling Commission public register on a rolling 90-day cycle, and immediately when a reader flags a change.
Corrections Desk
Reader accountability
Handles every correction request. If we get something wrong, the entry is amended and the change is noted at the foot of the page rather than quietly edited away.
What we promise our readers
1. No brand enters the archive unverified
We do not write about an operator we have not registered with and funded. If we cannot confirm an active Gambling Commission licence on the public register, the brand is not published — regardless of what it is willing to pay.
2. Commission never buys a score
Our eight-measure model is applied identically to every entry. A commercial relationship cannot raise a score, remove a criticism or change a ranking. Where a partner brand performs badly on a measure, that is what gets published.
3. We publish what we disliked
Every review carries a list of things we did not like. If a review contains no criticism, we have not looked hard enough.
4. Nothing here is advice to gamble
We publish information about legally licensed operators for adults who have already decided to gamble. Nothing on this website is a recommendation that anyone should gamble, and nothing here is financial advice. Gambling is entertainment with a cost, never a way to make money.
5. Safer gambling is not an afterthought
Ten per cent of every score is the quality of the operator's safer gambling tools, and every review and every page on this website carries a route to free, independent help. See our Responsible Gaming page.
6. Strictly 18+
This website is intended only for adults aged 18 or over who are located in the United Kingdom. We do not knowingly direct any content at children, and we take no marketing decision that would appeal to under-18s.
