Before we tell you about us, let’s be honest about the situation here. Playing online is not legal under UAE gambling laws. We always tell our visitors to respect and follow local rules. But the reality on the ground is quite different. The urge to play is growing, and many expats in Dubai and local Arabs look for ways to access offshore casinos.
We also know that Ras Al Khaimah will launch a legal land-based casino in 2027. So, this shows things are changing. People are searching for gaming sites anyway, but they often end up getting scammed. Most offshore platforms are not safe.
Our mission at dubai-casino.co is very clear. We are not here to encourage you to play. But if you can’t resist the urge and decide to play anyway, our goal is to give you truthful information so you don’t lose your money to a scam. We want to make one thing very clear right from the start. We don’t recommend casinos. We simply review them. The final choice is always yours.
Who We Are
We are a small, relatively new website, which means we are not featured in big iGaming industry magazines yet. We are completely transparent about this. But our team has the real, hands-on experience needed to expose bad sites.
Adrian – Founder
Adrian is an expat living in Dubai and a software developer by profession. He is an active player who spends time on gambling forums. He has a background in computer sciences, so he understands the technical side of gaming, like how an RNG algorithm actually works behind the scenes. He started this site because his friends in the UAE, both locals and expats, kept asking him how to find real sites.
Jaser Davari – Reviewer and Editor
Jaser Davari a northern European expat currently living in the UAE. He brings actual industry experience to the table. Before moving to Dubai, he played and worked at physical and online casinos in Sweden and Scandinavia. He knows how the backend of these operations works. He also tests and reviews casinos in the English language.
Amir – Tester & Writer (Arabic)
Amir is a Syrian national who has lived in the UAE for the last 15 years. He is a software developer and our dedicated Arabic author. Amir writes and verifies all our Arabic reviews to make sure local players get accurate information.
Raza Qazi – Tester and Writer (English)
Not only does Raza Qazi test online casinos, but he also writes reviews and edits them to ensure everything is correct, and the language is clear enough so Arab players and expats get accurate information. From deposits and claiming casino bonuses to playing games and withdrawing funds, Qazi documents everything and then converts that info into casino reviews in a clear language.
How We Review Casinos – Our Real Data Process
There are hundreds of gaming websites on the internet. Testing every single one is impossible. So, we filter them first. We only look at platforms with a license from Estonia, Curacao eGaming, or the MGA. We don’t just trust the logo in the website footer. In fact, we go to the official issuer’s website to cross-check if the license is valid. We also check the SSL encryption to ensure basic data safety is there. If the license is real, we start our testing process.
Making a Deposit and Checking the Bonus
We sign up and deposit a small amount. We use different deposit methods for every casino to see which payment option works for players residing in the UAE. Then, we look at the welcome bonus. Sometimes, we claim it to test it. Other times, we completely skip it.
If a site forces you into 40x wagering requirements and only gives you 7 days to clear it, we note that down as a negative aspect of the website. The reasonable wagering is 30x to 35x with at least a 20-day or 30-day time period for completion.
Playing Games and Testing Support
We spend time testing the platform on both desktop and mobile. Our team plays different slots, tries some crash games, and loads up live casino games to see if the video stream lags or drops. Then, we open the live chat support and ask difficult questions. We do this to find out if the casino uses a bot or if there is a real human trying to help.
During this whole process, we take notes, record data, and save screenshots. We also record videos. Our writers, graphic design team, and video editors use this raw data to write the review, create videos, and create infographics. Our team double-checks the content to ensure there is zero incorrect information.
How We Make Money
Running this site takes time and money. We support our work through affiliate commissions, which means if you click a Play Now button on our site and make a deposit, we receive a small percentage from the casino. We don’t take money from players.
However, getting paid by a casino does not mean we hide its faults. If a casino is bad, we will clearly write out its cons and tell players the risks. If we highlight the negative sides of a casino, and you still decide to deposit your funds there, we won’t be responsible for what happens.
We protect the privacy of visitors to our website. Our privacy policy is clear and transparent. We don’t require any personal and financial information from people visiting our website. Again, keep in mind that we don’t recommend casinos. We only write casino reviews.
Responsible Gambling and Age Limits
We have a strict responsible gambling policy. Gambling is just for fun. It is never a way to make money or solve financial problems. So, we are very clear about this from the moment you land on our website. If you are under 18 years old, close this website right now. We don’t want you here. Just don’t come here.
We always encourage players to follow local laws and use external help groups if they feel they are losing control. We don’t want you to gamble. But if you do, read the data, understand the risks, and never play with money you can’t afford to lose.
Contact us today if you have any questions.
