Lobby Set

Who we are, and the rules behind every page

Who edits the pages on Lobby Set

William Arthur Watts, a member of the Lobby Set team, edits the site. You'll find that name on the home page, every set page, the overlap table and the two gates page.

The small print, from privacy to terms, carries the Lobby Set editorial team's name instead. William Arthur Watts answers for every page signed with that name, and each follows the method set out below: a label only where its evidence is shown, lobby counts from one sitting, and a reported change checked at its source before a fact moves.

Each set page names the company or platform behind its brands, shows each front page as captured, and prints the date its lobbies were read. Every claim there rests on a source: a footer, a terms page, a register entry, the site's own code, an archived copy or the lobby itself. So you can weigh each one by where it comes from. If you want the full method, with a worked example from one set, it's on the two gates page.

What we do with each casino set

We start from a casino you already know. Then we find the sites tied to it, open the lobbies we compare in one sitting and note what each one adds.

The order never changes.

  1. The tie. Footers, terms pages and the licence register settle who runs each brand. Where no company is named, shared platform code can still show a link.
  2. The sitting. The lobbies we compare are opened together and the same way, so no brand gets a different view.
  3. The differences. From that sitting we count the games on each front page and note the tabs, any sportsbook or live section, the language menu and how support is reached. The grid then shows what each site adds to the brand you searched.

Lobby counts on a page come only from that sitting. A brand that wasn't part of it keeps its tie row and nothing more.

How each linked site gets its label

Every site linked to the brand you searched carries exactly one of three labels. The evidence decides which.

  • Same company. The same licensee or operator, named in the footer or terms of each brand, on a licence certificate or on one shared register entry. Only these brands are called sisters.
  • Same platform. Shared software, page templates or cashier code visible on public pages, matched domain by domain and dated. That's a technical tie, which by itself doesn't show who owns the sites.
  • Similar casinos. Lookalikes and alternatives, each with its similarity stated. Where a set page lists any, they sit lower, never in the first grid.

A link that only another website claims, with nothing we can show you behind it, isn't listed at all. When the evidence for a tie changes, the label follows it.

Which rules every page follows

Rankings, scores, picks and welcome offers. None of them appears anywhere on Lobby Set.

Side by side, the pages show what each lobby has. They don't tell you which one to join. A few more lines we hold to:

  • No casino links. You'll see a casino's name, logo and front page here, but none of them takes you to the casino.
  • No play. We open only the public pages any visitor can see. We don't hold accounts, deposit or play, so anything here about accounts comes from a casino's own terms or pages, never from our own experience.
  • No money in our words. Offer amounts, wagering terms and limits stay out of our text, tables and captions. A screenshot shows the front page as it looked when we read it, whatever was on it.
  • No payment for coverage. Lobby Set takes no money from casinos or payment providers. The dated statement is on the disclosure page, linked in the footer.

Why a set page shows one reading date

Lobbies change from week to week. So each set page prints the day its lobbies were read, once, near the top.

Every lobby count on that page comes from that one sitting, and a gap in it is never filled from another day. Anything read on another day says so. Company and licence facts keep their own dates, and the box headed Who runs it gives the month of the latest licence check.

How a wrong fact gets put right

If you spot an error, tell us through the report-a-change page. We go back to the source ourselves. A company or licence fact changes once its source shows the change, and a lobby fact at the set's next full reading.

A correction that changes a fact moves the page's date. A wording fix doesn't. A brand that leaves a set stays on the page with a line saying so, rather than vanishing. Nobody pays for a correction, and nobody can pay to stop one.

Reading about lobbies costs nothing. If playing in them has started to cost you sleep, or money that was meant for something else, ring 0808 8020 133 for GamCare's National Gambling Helpline. Nobody pays for the call, and the line never closes.

Questions readers ask

Why does a casino I know have no set page here?

A set page needs a reading of the searched brand and at least one tied site in the same sitting, plus at least two differences worth showing. Until a set meets that, its brands can still appear as rows inside a bigger set.
