How we rate casinos — our review methodology

We take a systematic and independent approach to rating online casinos. Every casino and every bonus offer goes through the same process, so that comparisons are fair and the figures are comparable. Below we describe the criteria by which we assess casinos, how much weight each one carries and how the whole process works.

Rating criteria and their weight

• Licence and security (25%) — a valid licence (Curaçao and others), data encryption, account verification (KYC) and player protection.
• Withdrawals and payment methods (20%) — withdrawal speed, limits, availability of cards, e-wallets and cryptocurrencies, and transparency of terms.
• Bonuses and promotions (20%) — the size of the offer, wagering requirements, maximum bet, validity period and the fairness of the rules.
• Game selection and providers (15%) — the number and quality of slot machines, the live casino, RTP and the presence of leading studios.
• User experience (10%) — how clearly the site is laid out, the mobile version or app, loading speed and easy registration.
• Customer support (10%) — 24/7 availability, live chat, language options and the quality of responses.

How we test

We assess every casino on the basis of hands-on experience, not marketing materials. We open a real account, go through registration and verification, test both deposits and withdrawals and check the bonus terms. We compare information about the licence, limits and rules against the operator's official sources.

Sources and verification

We draw on the casinos' official websites, licensing registers, the terms of promotions and data from leading game providers. We also monitor legislative changes and news so that our reviews stay up to date and useful for players.

Updates and editorial review

Every article undergoes editorial review and is marked with the date of its last update. Casino offers change, so we revise the content regularly. If you spot an inaccuracy, let us know — we will correct it.

Independence of our ratings

Although the site may contain affiliate links, this does not affect the ranking or the ratings. The score always reflects the results of our testing against the criteria set out above.
