How we review casinos
Our job is to make risk visible. A polished website, large bonus or fast signup cannot compensate for unclear ownership or weak consumer protection.
1. Identity and licence
We verify the operating company, licence number and regulator against primary records wherever possible.
2. Consumer safeguards
We inspect limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, age controls, complaints routes and player-fund information.
3. Payments and terms
We record fees, withdrawal rules, identity checks and material bonus conditions without hiding inconvenient details.
4. Evidence and updates
Claims are sourced, checks are dated and material changes trigger a fresh review.
5. Commercial independence
Payment never buys a higher score. Affiliate relationships, if introduced, will be labelled clearly.
Reviews are not endorsements. They are structured assessments for adults researching the market. We may decline to list a brand when key facts cannot be verified.
