Who Reviews These Casinos
Reviews are written by people with real accounts at the sites they cover. We don’t accept review copies, trial accounts, or casino-supplied credits. Every tester deposits their own money.
Joshua Hill
Founder · Lead Reviewer
“I started this site because every review I found was either written by someone who’d never played or was clearly angled to push a specific casino. I’ve held real accounts at 60+ sites since 2005. My money, my withdrawals. When a casino makes that difficult, the score goes down — regardless of what the affiliate commission looks like.”

Bethany Hansraj
Senior Reviewer · Poker & Bonuses
“Bonuses look generous until you read every line of the T&Cs. I claim every offer with real money, work through the wagering, and test what actually happens when I try to withdraw — including deliberately triggering edge cases the casino would rather you never found.”

Dominic Field
Reviewer · Blackjack, Poker & Video Poker
“The difference between 9/6 and 8/5 Jacks or Better is the difference between a game worth playing and one that isn’t — and most reviewers don’t check. I verify rule variants and pay tables on every blackjack and video poker title before writing a word of the review.”

How We Review a Casino
Every review follows the same process in the same order. Nothing is skipped because a casino is “well known.” The steps below describe exactly what we do — not what we aspire to do.
01
Create a real account, verify identity
We register using our own personal details — no review accounts, no VIP access provided by the casino. We go through the full KYC process a normal player would face, including submitting ID documents and waiting for verification.
Timed from registration to verified account status
02
Make a real deposit, test all available methods
We deposit using at least two different methods — typically a debit card and a crypto option if available. Minimum deposit amount is tested first, then a moderate deposit to test bonus triggering.
Min. $50 deposited per review · Multiple payment methods tested
03
Claim the welcome bonus and read every line of T&Cs
We claim the welcome offer using the same method a new player would. The full T&C document is read — not skimmed. Game contribution percentages, max bet rules, expiry windows, and withdrawal caps are all recorded.
Full T&C document reviewed · Every hidden clause flagged
04
Play across all major game categories
Minimum session length is 2 hours per game category: slots, blackjack, roulette, live dealer, video poker. We record the actual RTP displayed on each game and test loading times and performance issues.
Min. 10 hours total play time · All major game types covered
05
Contact support five times across different channels
We submit five separate support queries: two simple questions, two complex account issues, and one deliberately edge-case dispute. Response time, quality of answer, and whether complex issues were resolved are all measured.
Response times recorded to the minute · Resolution quality scored 1–5
06
Request a withdrawal and record every step
We request a withdrawal using two methods where possible. Time from request to funds received is recorded precisely. Any requests for additional documentation are noted.
Withdrawal time measured from request to funds received
07
Verify licensing directly — not from the casino’s claim
We check every licence directly with the issuing authority’s database. A UKGC licence claim is verified on the UKGC register. We do not accept the casino’s own statement as evidence of licensing.
Licence number verified against official regulator database
08
Research operator history and player complaints
We review at least 3 years of player complaint history from forums including Two Plus Two, Casinomeister, and r/gambling. Regulatory actions are checked directly with official registers.
Min. 3 years complaint history reviewed · Regulatory actions checked

How AI Fits Into Our Reviews
AI handles the monitoring work that would otherwise take hours per week. Humans handle everything that requires judgement.
What the AI does — weekly
Fetches live T&C and promotions pages directly from each casino
Weekly
Reads current bonus amount, match %, and cap
Weekly
Records wagering requirement and game contribution %
Weekly
Notes expiry window and max bet rule

What humans do — cannot be automated
Decide whether a T&C change is consequential enough to affect the score
Make real deposits and withdrawals to test actual player experience
Evaluate whether support gave accurate or misleading information
Assess whether a bonus is genuinely worth claiming in practice
Write the editorial judgement sections of every review
Investigate player complaints and decide whether they reflect a pattern
Set and adjust scores when evidence warrants it
Important: what AI does not do
AI does not write review copy, set scores, or make recommendations. Every editorial judgement is made by a human reviewer. The AI is a monitoring tool, not a reviewer — and an "AI-reviewed casino" would be a lower-quality product than what we deliver.
What triggers a full re-review
AI detects a material change — any change to payout terms, wagering, or licensing triggers immediate human review.
Significant public attention — regulatory action, forum threads spiking, media coverage of complaints.
A reader reports a problem we missed — investigated if the issue isn’t reflected in the current score.
12 months since last full test — every casino re-tested annually regardless of AI scan results.
Casinos We Won’t List
We evaluate more casinos than we recommend. Any casino that meets any of the criteria below is declined regardless of affiliate commission offered.
01
Unresolved withdrawal complaints
Any casino with more than two unresolved non-payment complaints in the past 24 months that the operator cannot adequately explain.
02
Licence we cannot verify
If a claimed licence cannot be confirmed directly with the issuing regulator’s public database, the casino is not listed.
03
Predatory bonus terms
Wagering above 50×, expiry under 7 days, or max bet rules that aren’t clearly disclosed before the player claims the offer.
04
No responsible gambling tools
A casino that does not offer at minimum: deposit limits, a cooling-off period, and self-exclusion. No exceptions.
05
Retroactive T&C changes
Any confirmed case of a casino changing terms after a player has already claimed a bonus — voiding a balance on terms the player didn’t agree to.
06
Payment for placement
Any casino that has offered payment, commission uplift, or other incentive to improve a score, change negative copy, or remove a review.
Corrections Policy
We make mistakes. When we do, we correct them publicly — not silently.
Factual errors — wrong bonus amount, incorrect wagering figure, outdated licensing status. Corrected within 24 hours. Logged publicly.
Score errors — if we discover a score was based on wrong information, the score is updated and the reason is logged.
Missed issues — if a reader reports a problem we didn’t catch, we investigate and update the review if substantiated.
To flag a potential error: contact us with the specific claim and evidence.
Casino Dispute Policy
Casinos occasionally contact us to dispute scores or request changes. This is our standing policy.
We will consider factual disputes with evidence — if a casino believes we recorded wrong information and can provide documentation.
We will not change editorial opinions, remove negative copy, or adjust scores because a casino objects to them.
Any casino that makes an improper approach — offering payment or threatening legal action — will have that noted in their review.
Casino disputes: contact us. All correspondence is retained.
