- What are the seven checks?
- Licence, payouts, bonus terms, game fairness, support, deposit and loss limits, and safer-play tools. The same seven, in the same order, for every casino — so two reviews can actually be compared.
- What happens if a casino fails one?
- It does not appear on the list. There is no weighting and no partial credit: a casino that pays quickly but buries a max-bet clause in its bonus terms has failed the bonus check, and that is enough.
- How is the licence checked?
- By opening the regulator's own register and matching the company name and licence number against what the casino publishes in its footer. A licence badge that links nowhere, or names a company the register does not list, fails this check.
- How are payouts tested?
- By making real withdrawals and timing them from request to wallet, including any verification step. We publish observed times rather than advertised ones, because the advertised figure almost never includes the checks.
- What counts as fair bonus terms?
- Terms you can read in full before you deposit: the wagering multiplier and what it applies to, the maximum conversion cap, the maximum bet while wagering, the expiry, and which games contribute. A term that is only discoverable after depositing fails.
- Does a casino pay to be listed?
- No. We earn a commission when somebody signs up through a link here, and it has no bearing on whether a casino passes or where it ranks. A casino that fails a check is removed regardless of what it pays.
- How often is the list re-checked?
- Every month. Terms change, payout times drift and support teams get rebuilt, so a review that is a year old is a guess. Each casino carries the date it was last checked.
