Start with the operator’s own evidence
Our editors check each casino’s official site: its cashier, payment page, bonus terms, general terms and conditions, and licence validator. We compare those sources rather than relying on a promotional headline. A licence badge alone is not enough; the validator should identify the relevant operator and domain.
Cashier information can depend on location, currency and account status. Where a condition cannot be confirmed, we describe the uncertainty rather than treating missing information as a favourable result. These checks are editorial research, not an audit of operator finances or a promise that every withdrawal will succeed.
Our editorial assessment
| Area | What editors assess |
|---|---|
| Minimum deposit and payment choice | The £10 threshold, eligible routes and practical availability |
| Bonus fairness | Wagering, maximum bet, expiry and bonus qualifying minimum |
| Withdrawals | Typical speed, minimum, limits and KYC requirements |
| Licence and terms | Validator evidence, operator identity and clarity of conditions |
| Support and mobile | Accessible help and a usable mobile cashier |
The assessment considers all five areas. We do not describe an attractive welcome offer as sufficient compensation for unclear withdrawal conditions. The published editorial explanation should identify the strengths and drawbacks behind the overall judgement.
How the comparison score is weighted
| Input | Share of the 0–100 comparison score |
|---|---|
| Editorial assessment | 50% |
| Number of the 13 guide payment methods offered | 15% |
| Wagering requirement, with lower requirements scoring better | 20% |
| Typical payout speed | 15% |
The comparison page combines these inputs into a score from 0 to 100. The highest score is shown as the best option; ties are broken by the editorial assessment. Payment coverage counts how many of our 13 guide methods the casino offers, not how many logos appear in its footer.
The weights describe each input’s influence, not a guarantee about personal suitability. Wagering basis matters: a multiplier applied to deposit plus bonus is not equivalent to the same multiplier applied only to bonus funds. Typical payout speed is an expectation, not a deadline for an individual account.
Our stated weights do not specify every conversion band for wagering or payout times. They should not be read as a complete formula for independently reproducing every score from a single advertised figure.
Monthly checks and changes between reviews
- Revisit the official sources monthly and when payment or promotional terms change.
- Compare the current minimums, restrictions and licence evidence with the published review.
- Revise affected text, editorial judgements and comparison inputs when the evidence warrants it.
An operator may change its terms between checks. Before depositing, readers should confirm the rules shown for their own country, payment route and selected offer. Our payment guides explain common restrictions without replacing those terms.
How to challenge a finding
Email [email protected] with the page URL, the disputed statement and an official source where available. We review the evidence, correct confirmed errors and explain material changes on the affected page. Reporting a mistake does not require opening a casino account.
Affiliate commission does not change our assessments. This coverage concerns international adults aged 18 or over and Curaçao-licensed casinos; offshore licences do not cover Great Britain, where residents should use UKGC-licensed sites. Check local law.
Marcus covers casino cashiers, e-wallets and bank payments. He reads the deposit pages, bonus terms and withdrawal rules of every casino we list and turns them into plain numbers for a £10 budget.
