How We Review

How We Review Casinos

Every casino on this site has been tested with a real money deposit. Here is exactly what we check and how we score it.

Independent Testing — No Exceptions

This is desk research, compiled from primary sources rather than from playing at each casino ourselves. We read the operator's published terms, bonus rules, and banking pages directly; we check which authority the licence is held under; the withdrawal times we quote combine the operator's stated processing window with typical blockchain confirmation times, cross-referenced against public player reports.

We are funded by affiliate commissions — we earn when you click our links and register at a casino. We disclose this fully. Affiliate relationships do not influence our comparisons. Casinos that declined to work with us, or that pay lower commissions, are compared on the same published criteria as any other.

What we have not done: we have not opened an account, deposited our own funds, or timed a withdrawal at any casino on this site. Any figure presented as a payout speed is the operator's stated claim or an aggregate of public reports, not a measurement we made ourselves.

How We Score Each Casino

Each casino is scored on a 10-point scale across five weighted categories:

CategoryWeightWhat We Compare
Withdrawal Speed30%Operator-stated processing windows plus typical network confirmation times, checked against public reports
Bonus Value25%Welcome bonus size, wagering requirements, max cashout, game restrictions — as published in the terms
Game Selection20%Total game count, RTP availability, live casino coverage, software providers
Trust & Licence15%Licence status against the regulator's public register, publicly reported complaint history
User Experience10%Registration requirements, mobile support, published support channels

Our Research Process — Step by Step

01

Registration Terms

We read the operator's published registration requirements — mandatory fields, phone verification, and stated email confirmation times.

02

Payment Documentation

We review the casino's published cashier pages for accepted currencies, minimum deposit limits, deposit networks, and stated confirmation times.

03

Bonus Terms Review

We read the full terms and conditions for each welcome bonus. We check the wagering requirement (bonus only or deposit+bonus), game contribution percentages, max bet during bonus, time limits, and max cashout.

04

Withdrawal Windows

The withdrawal times we quote combine the operator's stated processing window with typical blockchain confirmation times, cross-referenced against public player reports and forum threads.

05

Licence Verification

We check the casino's licence directly against the issuing regulator's public register — not from the casino's own claims. For Curacao licences, the Curacao eGaming registry. For MGA, the MGA public register.

06

Support Channel Review

We note which support channels are published (live chat, email, Telegram) and review publicly reported response times rather than contacting support ourselves.


How Often We Update

Casino bonus terms, withdrawal windows, and game libraries change frequently. We revisit a comparison when the operator's published bonus terms, licensing status, or banking conditions change, or when a credible public report indicates a material change — a worsened withdrawal track record, altered bonus terms, or licensing issues.

Every page on this site displays a publication date. If you believe information is outdated, please contact us with details.


Our Editorial Standards

We never accept payment for rankings. No casino can buy a higher position on this site. Our comparisons reflect published, verifiable criteria only.
We don't claim to have tested what we haven't. This site is desk research. Every withdrawal time, bonus term, and licence status reflects operators' published terms and public reports — not personal play.
We disclose all affiliate relationships. Every page that links to a casino carries an affiliate disclosure in the footer.
