Do you accept payment for better rankings?
No. Partner status cannot override licensing, fairness, or RG requirements.
Trust & transparency
Why you can rely on our picks
We earn trust by saying no: no to unclear terms, no to expired offers, and no to casinos that do not protect players. Everything starts with safety and compliance.
Our experience and expertise
- Review team with a decade of casino auditing across UK, IE, NZ, AU, CA, and ZA markets.
- Specialists track regulator updates (UKGC, provincial regulators, EU/EEA licences) weekly.
- Hands-on testing of bonuses, payments, and RG tools before any site is listed.
- Documented review playbooks to keep scoring consistent and repeatable.
Editorial independence
No placement is ever paid for. Safety and fairness outrank revenue.
- Listings stay on merit, not on commission size.
- Partner deals cannot override our red lines (licensing, fair terms, RG tools).
- Corrections and removals happen fast when facts change.
How we check every casino
- Licence verification: Confirm validity, jurisdiction, ownership, and any sanctions.
- Terms deep-dive: Read wagering, expiry, max wins, game weighting, and payment exclusions line by line.
- Payments test: Check methods, min/max, stated timelines; run test deposits/withdrawals when possible.
- RG tooling audit: Confirm deposit/loss limits, cool-offs, self-exclusion, and reality checks are easy to find and use.
- Support and disputes: Test live chat/email responsiveness and look for ADR/ombudsman routes.
- Player feedback scan: Track complaint themes and resolution speed; delist repeat offenders.
- Ongoing monitoring: Weekly offer checks and immediate reviews on red flags.
Responsible gambling first
We only recommend casinos with real player protections, not just lip service.
- Visible and functional: deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, time-outs, and self-exclusion.
- Clear links to national helplines and third-party tools (GAMSTOP, BeGambleAware, Gambling Helpline, NRGP, etc.).
- Age gating (18+) and market-appropriate warnings on every page.
- We delist brands that make RG tools hard to find or slow to action.
Compliance with local laws
We operate market by market, aligning with local rules and advertising standards.
- Licences checked against official registers; no promotion of unlicensed operators.
- Market-specific messaging and age requirements observed on every page.
- Transparent disclaimers and responsible gambling statements tailored to each region.

Player-first guardrails
- Removal if we see unresolved complaint patterns.
- Preference for casinos with clear safer gambling tools and fast payouts.
- Age gating (18+) and market-appropriate messaging on every page.

Transparency on money
- We disclose partner links and keep editorial control separate from commercial terms.
- No casino can buy a higher position; failing safety removes them entirely.
- We publish criteria so you can hold us accountable.
Our track record
We have reviewed casinos for years across multiple regulated markets. We routinely remove brands that slip on payments, change terms unfairly, or weaken RG tools. Safety and fairness are non-negotiable.
