How we rate online casinos

Our testing process

  1. Register a real account at the casino, as any player would.
  2. Claim and use the bonus being reviewed, tracking every step and timing.
  3. Test support with real questions via live chat or email.
  4. Complete KYC and request a withdrawal, timing the full payout process.
  5. Score each category based on what we actually experienced, not marketing claims.

Frequently asked questions

Do casinos pay for a higher score?

No — scores are based purely on our own testing. See our affiliate disclosure for how we're compensated.

How often are scores updated?

We re-test periodically and update scores if an operator's offer, support or process meaningfully changes.
