Vladimir Ilic

He owns the Networks section. Vladimir maintains the database of 38 UK operator groups tracked on this site — their ownership structures, regulatory filings, parent-company complaint patterns, and how those records flow down into the casinos underneath. A casino is the front; the operator group is what actually decides how the casino behaves under pressure.

Before sitelikeuk, Vladimir spent four years inside a corporate intelligence firm running due-diligence files on listed gambling groups for institutional clients, and another three at a Companies House research desk where he learned to read filings the way most readers skim a homepage. That background shapes how he reads a network today: the press release is a starting point, the filings are the evidence, and the gap between the two is usually where the story lives.

Outside the database, Vladimir writes sitelikeuk's explainers on operator groups, shared self-exclusion, and what cross-casino ownership actually means for a player who has just deposited. He answers every email that flags a regulatory event he might have missed, and he has rewritten more than thirty network entries after readers caught an ownership move before he did. The networks index on this site is a living document, and the corrections trail is part of how it stays honest.
