How we check
Quiet Salon prints only what a casino says about itself on pages anyone in Great Britain can read, and what arithmetic can prove. Nothing is scored by feel.
Which casinos
A casino is read only if it holds an active remote casino licence from the Gambling Commission and its web address is one its licence holder has declared on the Commission's public register, downloaded on 3 November 2026. If an address is listed under more than one account, the casino is left out. We link only to a casino's home page, and only when that page opened directly, without a redirect, when we checked it; otherwise the address is printed as text for you to type.
The twelve points
For each casino we look for the same twelve points about baccarat:
- Baccarat section
- Games named
- Live and digital
- Suppliers named
- Banker commission
- Tie payout
- Return to player
- Table limits
- Side bets
- Squeeze, peek, speed
- Baccarat in promotions
- If a hand is interrupted
A point counts as stated only when the casino's own page for GB players says it. We save the page text, quote the casino's wording (at most 25 words, trimmed with “…”) and give the page address. The count on each card is simply how many of the twelve the casino states — a measure of how much it tells you before you sign up, not a verdict on its games.
What we leave out
Sign-up promotions, bonus amounts and anything shown only after logging in. Pages of review or comparison sites, forums and suppliers' own sites are never used as sources.
The arithmetic
House edges and probabilities on this site come from our own count of every possible deal from an eight-deck shoe under standard Punto Banco rules. They match the long-published figures for the game.

Corrections
If a casino changes its pages or we have misread one, write to contact@quietsalon.co.uk with the page address. We re-read and correct, and the date at the foot of each page changes.
Web Archive copies
Some casinos' pages do not open from where we read them. For those we used the most recent copy in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine made in the last six months, and the source line says so with the copy's date.
