Independent casino reviews
We check the licence before we rank the casino
We looked up every licence number on the regulator register, read the bonus terms to the last clause, and quote payout times exactly as each operator states them. For 6 of the 20 the register returned nothing, and the review says so in its first paragraph.

Public pages only. We did not open accounts
A regulator is named, the register does not confirm it
Weighted from six sections. 0 of 20 sit under 6
Every review also carries its own check date
We look the licence up, then print what we found
Every review names the licensee, the licence number and the register we opened, with the date. When the register disagrees with the site, that becomes the headline rather than a footnote: one brand publishes a valid licence whose domain list does not include the site you are standing on, another shows an active certificate while the register says the licence expired. On 6 of 20 brands a regulator is named and nothing in a public register confirms it, and each of those reviews says so in its first paragraph.
Stated payout times, labelled as stated
We read cashiers, bonus terms and complaint routes on public pages, and we do not open accounts or deposit money. So no payout time on this site was timed by us, and every figure says whether the operator states it or we measured it. All 20 reviews say stated. Where an operator publishes no processing time at all, the review says that too, because an absent number is information.
Bonus terms read to the clause
A headline percentage means nothing without the three numbers under it. We name the wagering basis, bonus only or deposit plus bonus, the maximum stake while a bonus is live, and the winnings cap that usually appears only in the general terms and never on the promotion page. Every review converts the offer into the turnover it actually asks for, in the operator currency.

Frequently asked questions
How do you rank casinos?
Six weighted sections: licensing and safety, payments, bonus terms, games, mobile, and support. The weights are published on our methodology page and they are the same for every review. The total is calculated from the sections, never chosen first and filled in backwards.
Did you test the withdrawals?
No, and that is the honest answer. We work from public pages and we did not open accounts, so every payout time here is the operator's stated figure and it is labelled as stated. Support was tested once, on the single brand whose live chat answered without an account.
Do you get paid by the casinos you list?
We earn commission when a reader signs up through some of our links. That relationship does not change a score, and our how we make money page explains the separation. The disclosure sits on every page that carries a commercial link.
What does the score out of 10 mean?
It is the weighted average of the six sections. The visible range across the site is 6.1 to 7.7, and 0 of the 20 brands sit under 6. There is no hidden floor: a low score means the review explains what is wrong, not that the brand was quietly dropped.
How often is this updated?
Every review carries the date we last checked it and an update log that dates each change, including corrections we make after publication. We do not promise a weekly sweep we cannot evidence.
Why is my country not listed?
We publish a market page only where we can verify the regulator position and the local payment methods. That is 9 markets we can defend rather than thirty we cannot.
How many games does each casino have?
Usually we do not say, and that is deliberate. Counting a lobby properly needs an account, so we publish a game total only where we counted it ourselves. That is 2 of 20 reviews. Everywhere else we name the studios we saw instead of repeating a marketing figure.
Can I trust the images?
Screenshots of lobbies, cashiers and terms pages are real captures with the date in the caption. Diagrams and cover images are generated or drawn by us and labelled as illustrations. A generated image never stands in for a screenshot.
