Research the operator and licence

We identify who operates the casino, which licence(s) it holds, and check the licensing authority’s own register where one is publicly available.

Verify available bonuses and terms

We read the full bonus terms — not the promotional summary — including wagering requirements, maximum cashout limits, game weighting, and expiry conditions.

Test registration and KYC

We create a real account and go through the actual verification flow, noting what documents are requested and how the process feels in practice.

Check available payment methods

We confirm which deposit and withdrawal methods actually work for the region we’re testing, including any minimums, maximums, or fees not listed upfront.

Evaluate deposits and withdrawals where possible

We make a genuine deposit and, where possible, request a withdrawal — logging processing time, any friction, and whether the amount received matched what was requested.

Assess games and software

We check game variety, providers, and whether the software runs reliably, including on slower connections.

Test customer support

We contact support with a real question and record response time, channel availability, and whether the answer was actually useful.

Assess mobile usability

We test the site or app on mobile — registration, deposits, and gameplay — since most of our readers play on a phone.

Record findings and update when things change

We publish what we found with a last-tested date, and recheck the review when we’re notified of — or notice — a material change.
