Weighting
Not every factor matters equally. Safety and payout reliability carry the heaviest weight — a casino that doesn't pay out doesn't get ranked, no matter how generous the bonus.
Independence
We operate on a standard affiliate model: when a reader signs up at a casino through our link, the casino pays a commission. But every operator pays the same commission rate, and commission has zero influence on ranking order. Our scores are determined before any commercial discussion.
Re-reviews
Rankings aren't set-and-forget. Every listed casino is re-reviewed at least twice a year, with unscheduled spot checks in between. If a casino's behavior changes, so does its score.
