How we review a casino or betting site
Every review follows the same structure, so two brands can be compared line by line. We check the licence against the regulator's own register, read the bonus terms rather than the headline offer, and note how long withdrawals take and which payment methods qualify for a bonus. The rating reflects the whole product, not the size of the welcome bonus. The full method is on our how we rate page.
Licences
Each review states which authority licenses the brand and in which markets it may take players. A licence decides what protection you have: dispute resolution, segregated player funds and the responsible gambling tools the operator must offer. Check that a brand is licensed where you live before you open an account.
Play responsibly
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Set deposit and loss limits before you play, and use the time-out and self-exclusion tools every licensed operator provides. You must be 18 or older, or older where local law requires it. Read more about responsible gambling.
