How We Review Online Casinos
Every casino is scored on eight sections. Each one is assessed on its own criteria, and each carries its own weight in the overall rating.
| Section | Weight | What we assess |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Security | 15% | licence level · how long the operator has been running · operator transparency |
| Banking & Withdrawals | 15% | withdrawal time · payment methods · cryptocurrencies · currencies · published withdrawal limits |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | bonus terms · recurring promotions · wagering on the welcome offer · real value of the offer · VIP or loyalty programme |
| Casino Games | 10% | game categories · live casino and game shows · catalogue size · demo mode · exclusive games |
| Software Providers | 20% | number of studios · leading studios |
| Customer Support | 10% | contact channels · 24/7 availability · support languages |
| Mobile Casino | 5% | app · mobile site · site languages · game search and filters |
| Responsible Gambling | 5% | deposit limits · session limits · time-out · self-exclusion · help organisations · age verification |
Three rules apply to every review:
- A casino is never rated higher because something about it is unknown. Anything we could not verify is flagged as unverified.
- The rating is 100% calculated. We never adjust it by hand: to change a score, we correct or complete the data.
- Automatic recalculation every time a casino’s data changes.
We also encourage players to stay informed about safe play practices on our
Responsible Gambling page.
