The Story Behind Howzit
Why we built a casino around fast sign-up, real choice in payments and a lobby that keeps growing.
Who We Are
Last updated: August 26, 2026
Howzit was built for one type of player: someone in the UK who wants to sign up in minutes, pick from hundreds of games and pay however suits them, card or crypto. This page is about how we got here and what we care about.
Every casino site says it puts players first. We would rather show it in the details: a registration form that takes under two minutes, a lobby sorted so the games you actually want are not buried behind ten menus, and a support team that answers in plain English at hours that fit UK evenings and weekends, not just office hours somewhere else.
Howzit started from a simple frustration. Too many casino sites treat payment choice as an afterthought, forcing players toward one card processor and making everything else feel like a workaround. We built the opposite: Visa and Mastercard sit next to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and Litecoin as equally supported ways to fund an account, plus bank transfer for players who prefer it that way. None of these is a second-class option here.
What We Actually Do
We curate a games lobby rather than just renting shelf space to whoever pays for it. Titles from Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Play'n GO, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City and Push Gaming sit in our lobby because we think they deliver on fairness and game quality, from classic slot mechanics to live dealer tables run out of studios with real croupiers. When we add a new provider, it is because their catalogue adds something, not because it is the cheapest deal on the table.
We also built our welcome offer and ongoing promotions with UK habits in mind: a package for new players plus free spins on selected slots, with exact figures and wagering terms shown at sign-up rather than buried in a PDF nobody reads. T&Cs apply, and we would rather a player read three clear lines than sift through a wall of legal text to find the catch.
How We Operate
Howzit runs under a self-declared offshore framework rather than a UKGC licence. That is a deliberate structural choice, not an accident, and it means we sit outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme that UKGC-licensed sites use. We think players deserve to know that plainly rather than have it glossed over. For the current licensing details as they stand today, the information is published in the site footer and we would rather point you there than restate a figure that could go out of date on this page.
The same goes for our registered company details. The registered company name behind Howzit is published in the site footer; please confirm it there rather than relying on anything written mid-page, including this one. We would rather send you to one accurate source than repeat a detail twice and risk it drifting.
Why 'Your Game, Your Rules' Is More Than a Slogan
Our slogan, Your Game, Your Rules, is about control staying with the player, not the house. That means clear deposit limits you can set yourself, a lobby you can filter by provider or game type instead of one fixed order, and payment rails that let you move money the way you already do elsewhere, whether that's a Mastercard you use daily or a Litecoin wallet you already hold. We do not think a casino should force a single way of playing onto everyone who signs up.
We also try to be upfront about what we are not. We are not a UKGC-licensed operator, and we do not want to imply otherwise anywhere on this site. What we do promise is a platform built around speed, choice and straightforward communication, and we would rather earn trust through consistency than through marketing language.
Where This Goes Next
The lobby keeps expanding as providers release new titles, and our promotions calendar shifts with the seasons, think seasonal slot drops around Christmas and summer live-dealer tournaments rather than the same static offer year-round. We update our terms pages when things change rather than leaving stale numbers online, and we would encourage any player to check the footer and our terms page periodically rather than assume nothing moves.
Who We Are
Is Howzit a UK-licensed casino?
Howzit runs under a self-declared offshore framework rather than a UKGC licence. Please check the site footer for the current licensing information rather than relying on any other page.
Who is the registered company behind Howzit?
The registered company name behind Howzit is published in the site footer. We keep that information there so it stays accurate and current, rather than repeating it across multiple pages.
Does Howzit take part in GamStop?
No. Howzit operates outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. Because of that, we signpost GamCare (0808 8020 133, https://www.gamcare.org.uk/) and BeGambleAware (https://www.begambleaware.org/) so players who want support can find it easily.
Why does Howzit support both cards and crypto?
We built Howzit around payment choice from day one. Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and Litecoin, plus bank transfer, are all treated as equally supported options rather than one primary method with alternatives bolted on.
How does Howzit choose its game providers?
We add studios like Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Play'n GO, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City and Push Gaming because their catalogues add genuine variety and quality to the lobby, not because of the cheapest listing deal.
