How this site works
Reviews you can actually trust
Compare the reasoning behind our reviews: operator terms, documented observations, and the trade-offs that matter before you deposit. Affiliate relationships do not determine the assessment.
01
Clear review scope
Reviews cover games, payments, bonuses, and player protections. Read the scope, dates, and supporting sources alongside the assessment.
02
Withdrawal details
A documented withdrawal result includes its method, amount, date, and elapsed time. Read it alongside the operator processing window; one result is not a guarantee.
03
Operator terms
Bonus conditions and cashier rules are attributed to the operator. Source checks are dated where shown, and account or state restrictions stay with the relevant fact.
04
Public changelog
Recorded editorial updates appear in the public changelog with a date and a description of what changed.

Nov 8

Nov 8
Slots.lv — Added three comments from Joshua Hill, our editor in chief: on the welcome bonus, on deposits and withdrawals, and on choosing a video poker game.
Nov 7
Bovada — Added five sections, each with dated sources: the sportsbook, with what the sports welcome bonus is worth by the way you bet, what the casino welcome bonuses really cost, what Bovada Rewards points are really worth, a fact check against Bovada’s own pages and what players complain about.
Nov 7
Bovada — Corrected the crypto casino bonus: its codes are BTCCWB1250 and BTC2NDCWB, and the second and third deposits carry 50x wagering, not 25x. Added the card sports bonus (50% up to $250), the $20 minimums and six-month limits, and the sports rollover rule that counts a winning bet at the lesser of its stake or its win. Noted that Bovada’s pages disagree on the referral rollover.
Nov 7
Bovada — Corrected the banking table: each coin now has its own row with Bovada’s limits, including Litecoin’s $180,000 weekly limit, and Bitcoin Lightning, Player Transfer and bank wire were added. Noted that Bovada’s withdrawal-methods page lists only crypto and vouchers, and that its pages disagree on crypto payout times.
Nov 7
Bovada — Added Bovada’s live chat, email (48 hours) and community to the support details, and replaced the operator line: Bovada’s site names no operating company, and its footer cites the Union of the Comoros and Western Sahara.
Nov 7
Slots.lv — Updated the Games tab with the lobby’s game counts and the Hot Drop Jackpots (hourly, daily and Epic), and noted that the 3- and 10-hand Jacks or Better games pay 8/5, not the 1-hand game’s 9/6.
Nov 7
Slots.lv — Added five sections, each with dated sources: what the welcome bonus really costs, what MySlots Rewards points are really worth, including Crypto Club, a fact check against Slots.lv’s own pages, what players complain about and what each game costs you.
Nov 7
Slots.lv — Listed the card welcome offer (100% up to $2,000 plus 20 free spins) separately from the crypto offer, with the full terms of both, including the $20 minimum deposit and the six months Slots.lv’s bonus FAQ allows. Card deposits are capped at $1,000, so the card match tops out at $1,000. Corrected the referral cut-off date to 11 February 2025.
Nov 7
Slots.lv — Corrected the banking table: removed courier checks, which Slots.lv’s withdrawal methods no longer include, added Bitcoin Lightning and Player Transfer, added MatchPay and card limits, and added approval times. Noted where Slots.lv’s own pages disagree on Bitcoin payout times.
Nov 7
Slots.lv — Corrected the email reply time to 48 hours (it said 72), added Slots.lv’s complaints address and community forum, and updated the operator details to match Slots.lv’s terms: Arbol Media B.V., company 145739, Curaçao licence OGL/2024/670/0711.

Why we exist
“Started this in 2005 to write
the guides and casino reviews I wished existed.
Still doing it.”
Joshua Hill, founder — playing since 2005
Our business model
We use affiliate links where disclosed. Our editorial positions are never sold or influenced by casino relationships.
Our standard for a “recommendation”
Recommendations weigh the games, terms, payment options, and protections described in each review. Published terms and firsthand observations are different kinds of evidence.
What a source check means
A check covers the specific source and fact named, on the date shown. An editorial update or automated comparison does not establish that every fact or payment method was tested.
Quick questions
What people ask before they read a single review.
How should I compare these reviews?
Start with the product and location requirements, then compare games, payment terms, offer conditions and protections. Read the written reasoning and dated sources; a single overall number cannot describe every player’s circumstances.
Are offshore sites licensed in the USA?
An offshore licence does not authorize an operator in a US state. Operator access rules and state law are separate questions; a site accepting an account does not establish legal eligibility or US regulatory protection. Read the applicable state guidance and our offshore explanation.
Where can I find state-licensed online casinos?
State-licensed online casino markets include Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Online poker and sports betting have different product and operator availability; casino permission alone does not establish a live poker room. See our state guides and the relevant regulator. Delaware’s official iGaming page confirms its online casino offering.
What does a source-check date mean?
It identifies the information checked and the date of that check. An editorial update is a page edit; it does not mean every method was personally tested or every fact was rechecked.
How do you assess withdrawal speed?
Separate account review and approval from bank or network delivery. A published window is an operator estimate. A firsthand result requires its own method, amount, date and elapsed-time record.
