Fifteen sites, five weighted dimensions, and a running order that follows the scores rather than the size of the commission. Every site is opened with a funded account before it is scored.
The weighted criteria
- Payout reliability, 30% Documented withdrawal behaviour, internal review times, whether ceilings and minimums are stated plainly in the cashier, and how the operator has handled disputes on record.
- Bonus terms, 25% Rollover, what the multiplier applies to, game weighting, maximum bet while a bonus is active, expiry window and withdrawal caps. The headline percentage carries almost no weight.
- Game and studio depth, 20% Named third party studios, breadth of slots, count of table variants, and whether a live dealer product is genuinely present rather than nominal.
- Banking, 15% Range of methods, realistic crypto and fiat processing times, and whether the site is honest about card decline rates for US customers.
- Support and transparency, 10% Whether a plain question gets a plain answer, hours of live coverage, and whether licence and ownership details are published rather than buried.
How the testing actually runs
- Register and verify. A real account in the reviewer's own name, with identity documents submitted at registration rather than at withdrawal, so the verification process is timed on its own.
- Deposit on two rails. Where possible one card attempt and one crypto deposit, because the card decline rate for US customers is a material part of the experience.
- Play across categories. Slots, at least one table game and, where offered, a live dealer table, to check that the lobby matches the marketing.
- Withdraw and time it. A cashout request timed from submission to arrival, recorded separately for internal review and for the transfer itself.
- Ask support something specific. A question with a checkable answer, such as the game weighting on the welcome bonus, to see whether the desk answers or deflects.
- Read the terms in full and date them. Recorded with the date checked, because offers change.
Independence
The site is funded by affiliate commission, disclosed at the foot of every page. No operator can buy a position, a score or a favourable line, and no operator sees a review before publication. Where a bonus code supplied to us cannot be confirmed as the casino's own public code rather than another affiliate's, we publish the bonus amount and omit the code. Scores are revisited when an operator changes its terms or its payout behaviour, and the ranking has moved against commercially better-paying brands before.
What we will not publish
- A claim that any offshore operator is legal, licensed or regulated in Indiana, because none is.
- A bonus figure we cannot source to the operator's own terms or an operator-supplied sheet.
- A bonus code belonging to another affiliate.
- Content aimed at anyone under 21, or advice on evading an operator's verification requirements.
