Our Review Process

Every casino in our database goes through a structured review process:

Account creation & KYC: We register real accounts and complete the KYC process at each casino.
Bonus claiming: We claim welcome offers and document the T&C in full, assigning our proprietary T&C score.
Game testing: We play slots, table games, and live casino titles to assess performance and quality.
Payment testing: We test deposit and withdrawal speeds with multiple payment methods.
Support testing: We contact customer support via live chat, email, and phone.
Data entry & scoring: All objective data is entered into our scoring model and reviewed for accuracy.
Annual re-review: Every casino is re-reviewed at least once per year, with continuous monitoring of T&C changes.

Editorial Policy

Our editorial team operates independently from commercial considerations. Rankings are determined solely by our scoring algorithm — casino operators cannot pay to influence their position. If we identify an error in a review, we correct it immediately and note the correction date. We do not remove negative reviews at the request of operators.
