Our Ranking Methodology
Every casino in our database is evaluated using the same objective criteria. Here's exactly how it works.
The Trust Score
Each casino receives a Trust Score on a scale of 0–10. This score is our composite rating based on the metrics listed below. A higher score means stronger objective indicators across the board.
The Trust Score is calculated algorithmically — no editorial subjectivity, no weighting based on affiliate relationships. The same formula applies to every casino in our database.
Ranking Factors
Regulatory Status & License
We verify which regulatory body issued the casino's license. Licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), and Kahnawake are weighted highest. Curacao e-Gaming licenses score lower. Unlicensed casinos are flagged.
Withdrawal Speed
How fast does the casino pay out? Casinos with instant or same-day withdrawals score highest. Those with processing times over 5 business days score lowest. This is one of the most important practical metrics for players.
Game Library Size
Total number of games available, including slots, table games, and live dealer offerings. A larger, diverse library generally indicates a more established and well-resourced operator.
Payment Methods
Availability of cryptocurrency payments, e-wallets, credit cards, and bank transfers. Broader payment method coverage scores higher. Crypto-friendly casinos receive additional positive weighting for anonymity and speed benefits.
Geographic Availability
Which countries the casino accepts players from. Our filters allow you to find casinos available in your specific jurisdiction.
Data Sources & Updates
Our casino data is sourced from publicly available regulatory records, casino official websites, and verified industry data. The database is updated on a rolling basis — casinos with outdated or missing data are flagged for re-enrichment.
We publish casinos progressively as they pass our minimum data quality threshold — all five core metrics must be present and verifiable before a casino is listed on the site.
What We Don't Factor In
- Affiliate commission rates — we do not rank casinos based on how much they pay us
- Subjective "user experience" opinions without data backing
- Promotional bonuses — bonus offers change frequently and vary by player; we display them but don't use them as a primary ranking factor
- Paid placements or sponsored rankings
