No single score tells the whole story. A gambling site with a large offer can still rank lower if its terms, withdrawals or safer gambling tools are weak.
We check that a site is clear about who can join, including age and location, and that it explains how it protects your account and data.
We compare payment methods, fees, limits, how long withdrawals take and what identity checks are needed before you can cash out.
We read the rules behind an offer: wagering, time limits, maximum bets, cashout caps and any games or bets that do not count.
We look at what you can actually play or bet on: the casino games, the sports and markets, and the poker games and tournaments a site offers.
We check how easy it is to reach support, and whether deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are easy to find and use.
Most people use these sites on a phone, so we check that the terms, the cashier and your account settings are easy to use on a small screen.
We check where a gambling site accepts players and whether it is clear about age limits, identity checks and account rules before you deposit.
We read the terms behind each offer as a whole, because wagering, time limits, maximum bets and cashout caps can make a large offer a poor one.
We compare payment methods, limits and published payout times. Where we could not test a withdrawal ourselves, we rely on the site's own terms and say so.
We check the casino lobby, the sportsbook and the poker room a site offers, and whether they work well on a phone.
A recommendation can change when terms, payments or safer gambling tools change. We update a page when the answer changes.
We look for deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and support links that are easy to find. In the United States, confidential help is available through the National Problem Gambling Helpline at NCPGambling.org.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no cost to you. This does not influence our rankings or recommendations. Read our full disclosure.
No. Our checks decide the rating. A gambling site with unclear terms, slow withdrawals or weak safer gambling tools should not earn a top place because it pays a commission.
Not for every review. Where we have not made a withdrawal ourselves, we rely on the site's published terms and say so, rather than claiming a test we did not do.
When something that matters changes: terms, payments, games, complaints or safer gambling tools. Always check the operator's own terms before you deposit.
