How We Rate Casinos
Last updated: February 26, 2026
We don’t use a secret algorithm. We test, compare, and rank based on what actually matters when you’re depositing real money. Here’s the breakdown.
1. Bonus Clarity
Big numbers mean nothing if the wagering is impossible. We read the terms. We note the rollover (30x vs 80x), expiry (7 days vs 30), max bet limits, and which games count. A 100% bonus with 30x is often better value than 200% with 50x.
2. Withdrawal Speed
We test cashouts. We note how long it actually takes—not what the marketing says. Sites that process in minutes rank higher. Sites that hold funds for “security checks” without clear timelines get called out.
3. Game Variety
Slots, live dealer, crash, sports. The best sites have it all. We check provider diversity (Pragmatic, Evolution, Spribe, etc.) and whether the library feels fresh or stale.
4. KYC Policy
Some players want no-KYC. Others don’t mind verification. We list each site’s policy clearly: sign-up only, required before withdrawal, or triggered on large wins. No surprises.
5. Cryptocurrency Support
BTC and ETH are table stakes. We note how many coins each site accepts, whether there are fees, and which networks are supported. More options = more flexibility.
6. Reputation
We check Trustpilot, forums, and Reddit. We weigh our own experience. A site with a 1.8/5 rating and withdrawal complaints doesn’t make the top of our list, no matter how good the bonus looks.
7. Licensing & Restrictions
We note which license each site holds (Curaçao, UKGC, etc.) and which countries are blocked. US, UK, Australia, and Canada get special attention—rules vary a lot.
What We Don’t Do
- We don’t accept payment for rankings.
- We don’t invent bonus amounts or policies.
- We don’t recommend sites we haven’t tested.
