About Baccarat.global
Baccarat.global is an independent baccarat education publisher. It doesn't operate a casino, doesn't accept deposits, and earns no affiliate revenue from recommending specific operators inside lesson content. The site publishes a structured school, a free-play simulator, and a daily challenge shoe. The writing is bylined to two house pen names: Annabel Cavendish and Bea Lyon.
The pen names
Annabel Cavendish is the school's lead editorial voice. She writes the Read and Listen lessons, the analytical pieces on house edge and probability, and the historical and variant coverage. Her register is precise, direct, and assumes an adult reader who can handle exact numbers. She doesn't write operator recommendations inside lesson content, and she doesn't use filler language or hedging qualifications. When a bet is bad, she says so. When the maths is clear, she states it without qualification.
Bea Lyon is the school's chat tutor. She operates within the Ask Bea widget and at the dedicated Q and A page. She doesn't appear as a byline on lesson pages. Her register is a faster, more conversational version of the same Mayfair standard: she answers questions directly, keeps explanations short, and refers students to the appropriate lesson when a question goes beyond a quick answer. She doesn't make operator picks or provide gambling advice beyond what the school's editorial standard supports.
Both names are house pen names. The editorial work is produced by a team of editors working under those names. The factual content is fact-checked against the baccarat canon, a verified internal reference document that sets the canonical figures for house edges, venue status, regulatory citations, and historical facts.
The school's mission
The mission is simple: to give anyone who wants to play baccarat a clear, honest account of the game before they sit down.
Most baccarat writing either treats the player as a target for system sales, hedges every factual statement into uselessness, or buries the relevant numbers inside promotional content. The baccarat school does none of these things. Each lesson states the house edge to two decimal places, names real venues, cites real regulatory sources, and tells the reader what's worth doing and what isn't.
The school is structured across six levels, from Foundations (Levels 1 and 2) through Variant Mastery (Level 3), Strategic Thinking (Level 4), Advanced Player (Level 5), and The Complete Player (Level 6). Each level has a badge. Each level ends with a quiz. The progression is designed to take a complete beginner to a player who understands the probability structure, the variant landscape, the limits of so-called strategies, and the responsible gambling tools available to them.
The editorial standard
Every factual claim in every lesson is sourced to a primary source. The minimum citation standard is four inline citations per lesson. Preferred sources are: the UK Gambling Commission, the Macau DICJ, the UK Supreme Court, casino operators' own published rules pages, and equipment manufacturers' technical documentation. Secondary editorial sources (The Guardian, FT, Bloomberg, BBC) are acceptable for news events. Aggregator review sites are not cited.
No URL is invented. If a specific page can't be verified, the lesson uses a verified generic URL from the same authoritative domain. Lessons are checked against the baccarat canon before publication.
The school doesn't accept sponsored content or paid placement inside lesson bodies. Operator references appear only where relevant to the lesson's factual content, for example naming London venues that offer baccarat as part of a lesson on the London baccarat landscape. These references are not paid placements.
