How We Rate

A regulatory licence is vital for safe gaming. When a site has a licence in place, it helps to provide a sense of security. We check every casino we rate to ensure the licensing is legitimate and is in place to protect players.

Fair gaming is essential for players to enjoy their experience. If games aren’t fair, then they become frustrating and aren’t fun. We check all fair play certifications to ensure casinos provide an enjoyable environment for play.

Encryption protects data both entering and leaving the site. It adds a cipher, which makes it unusable to outside agents. We check to ensure every casino has complete SSL encryption in place, which protects every connection.

If a site isn’t committed to responsible gaming, we don’t rate it highly. Access to tools that help protect players is essential in modern gaming, so we check to ensure they’re available. Our ratings provide a focus on what’s available to users.

When you’re playing with a smaller budget, access to lower minimum deposits is critical. We research all payment methods available at the casino and give a thorough breakdown of each option. We cover the limits for each payment method, ensuring you are aware of what’s possible.

Transaction fees can impact your chances of success at online casinos. If they eat into your winnings significantly, it’s not worthwhile playing. That’s why we check every fee that’s possible on each payment method, so you’re fully aware of any extra costs when you create your account.

Access to your winnings is something to look forward to. However, if you have to wait too long for your funds, it can dampen your enthusiasm. We check all processing times to ensure you’re able to choose a site that best aligns with your requirements.

The terms and conditions of the bonuses decide if they are worth claiming. We check the T&Cs and inform our readers if they impede the bonus quality. We then use this information to inform our rating.

We check whether there is a loyalty program and what’s available if there is one. We also check the additional T&Cs to cover anything that can impact how good the program is.

Some bonus offers are available without a deposit. We look into if these bonuses are available, what you can claim, and what the wagering requirements are. Our reviews all cover the finer details of any no-deposit bonuses.

Access to optimised service is critical when playing on mobile. We check to ensure all games run smoothly and there’s no visible dropoff from the desktop version. If the site suffers from any slowdown, we change our rating accordingly.

Smaller screens can sometimes get weaker graphical quality. We check to ensure all graphics retain the same fidelity across all platforms. If a site sees a dropoff in quality, we inform our readers of the issue. While it won’t be a problem for desktop players, for mobile users it can be a deal breaker.

You must be able to easily make your way around the site. We check to ensure that mobile browser sites and apps are easy to use. Functionality is vital to enjoy a mobile casino. We check the menu options, responsiveness, and gameplay speed within our reviews.

We check whether it’s an easy process to begin playing. If it’s challenging to sign up and there are multiple barriers, it can be off-putting. Our ratings reflect how simple it is to get started. We also research how simple the login process is.

Even the best online casinos can have issues from time to time. We research how effective and helpful customer support is. If you can’t resolve issues easily, then the customer service isn’t good enough to achieve a top ranking.

Access to the site shouldn’t be a battle. Menus should be easy to find with fast loading times. We research every aspect to ensure that you know what it’s like. If the site is difficult to use, we ensure that our rating provides you with the details you need.
