About Allen
Allen Jaffe founded online-bingo.com in 2014, originally as a UK bingo portal review and comparison site. He has been writing about and testing online bingo operators continuously since then, with a particular focus on three areas:
1. Bonus terms analysis. Most bingo welcome offers come with wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and excluded payment methods buried in the small print. Allen reads every operator’s full T&Cs before scoring their bonus offer, and flags any terms that materially change what the player actually receives.
2. Independent testing methodology. Every review on online-bingo.com is based on Allen’s personal hands-on testing — opening a real account, depositing real money, playing real sessions across desktop and mobile, and putting through at least one withdrawal to time the cashout process. No review is published from press releases or operator-supplied screenshots.
3. UK regulatory compliance. Allen tracks UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) enforcement actions, licence changes, and the evolving rules around bonus advertising and responsible gambling. He has refused affiliate partnerships with operators who fail to meet the site’s editorial standards on this front, and removes operators from rankings if their UKGC standing deteriorates.
Editorial commitments
- Re-test cadence: Every operator review is updated at minimum every 90 days, with a visible “Last tested” date.
- Real-money testing: All deposits and withdrawals tested with Allen’s own funds, not house accounts.
- Affiliate transparency: Where online-bingo.com receives a commission from a reader signup, this is disclosed in the footer and on the review page. Affiliate status does not influence editorial scores.
- Responsible gambling: The site links prominently to BeGambleAware, GamCare, GAMSTOP, and the 0808 8020 133 National Gambling Helpline on every page.
