About Puntide and Elliot Harcourt

What Puntide is

Puntide helps UK players see who is behind each casino. Two casinos are sisters here when one operator runs both or one company owns both, and the casinos' own pages or the regulator's record show it. Sharing a licence does not make them sisters.

Other sister-site pages often group casinos by appearance alone. Here the register is quoted as it reads, casinos that name no operator get a warning post, and no sister site is ever offered as a route round a self-exclusion.

The method page sets out how a sister is found, and a separate post, Casino sister sites explained, covers how to check who runs a casino and what GamStop covers.

What we cover

Puntide has published posts on these casinos: Cocoa Casino, DonBet, Gala Bingo, Jackpotjoy, Kinghills, Mr Q, MyStake, True Fortune and Velobet.

The posts on Cocoa Casino and True Fortune are warnings, because neither casino names an operator now. Cocoa Casino has named no operator since 2020, and True Fortune names none.

Each post opens with a fact box: who runs the casino, its licence, whether UK players are accepted, its confirmed sisters, the payments it shows and a rating.

What we do not do

Puntide is not a casino: it takes no bets, keeps no player accounts and handles no payments.

Before any page goes live, our team tests the casinos and checks each fact on it.

The site gives no legal advice, and none of its pages has legal clearance.

Help for anyone worried about their gambling is on the responsible gambling page.

Corrections

A correction starts with the casino's own page: it is read again before anything on Puntide is changed, and the change follows what that page says on the day it is read.

Puntide has no contact address yet. Until it has one, this page cannot point to a way of sending a correction.
