About Course de l'Espoir Genève
Course de l'Espoir Genève is an independent editorial project covering non GAMSTOP casinos, UK gambling regulation, and gambling-related consumer harm from a strictly non-promotional perspective. Our name — meaning "Race of Hope, Geneva" — is drawn from the tradition of civic charity races that raise money for cancer care, and reflects the underlying editorial commitment: to serve the reader, not the industry.
Editorial mission
The category of "non GAMSTOP casinos" is one of the most searched terms in UK gambling coverage, and one of the most poorly served by the existing information ecosystem. Most search results are affiliate listings whose commercial incentives are structurally opposed to the reader's harm-reduction interests. We started this site to offer an alternative: careful, plain-language editorial coverage that explains how the UK self-exclusion and licensing systems actually work, what happens when a player steps outside them, and where to find support if things go wrong.
We do not host casino rankings. We do not accept payment from casino operators. We do not run affiliate links to any gambling site, in any form, on any page. Our revenue model is contextual display advertising on non-gambling verticals, with a strict exclusion of gambling advertisers from our inventory. This is a deliberate choice with commercial costs; we accept those costs because credible harm-reduction coverage requires credible independence.
Our editorial standards
Every article on the site is written by a named human author. Every article is dated and versioned; when we make substantive changes, we note them at the top of the piece. When we cite a regulatory framework, licence structure, or statistic, we link to the primary source where possible. We use UK English throughout and follow the general house style of the UK broadsheet press for clarity, restraint, and non-alarmist framing on sensitive topics.
On corrections: if you believe we have made a factual error, please email [email protected]. We aim to review correction requests within five working days and to publish corrections transparently — with the original text struck through rather than silently overwritten.
The team
The site is produced by a small editorial team of three: an editorial lead, a regulatory analyst, and a player-protection correspondent. Author biographies appear at the bottom of every article. We do not use AI to write our editorial content.
What we don't do
To be explicit: we do not publish casino rankings, "top non GAMSTOP sites" listicles, or sponsored content from gambling operators, licence issuers, or affiliate networks. We do not link to any specific casino operator.
