How we test

Most casino review sites copy the casino's own marketing and add an affiliate link. We do it the slow way: open a real account, try to get paid, and write down what happens.

Step by step

1. Record the offer. Before signing up we screenshot the advertised free bonus, the first-purchase deal, and the minimum cash-out.
2. Open an account from Kansas. If the casino blocks Kansas, we note it and move on.
3. Check the bonus. We compare the coins that land in the account to what the ad promised.
4. Verify ID. We submit ID right away and count the days until approval, including any extra document requests.
5. Play to the minimum. We play until we reach the cash-out minimum, using the free mail-in method where it works, and buying coins only when needed. Every dollar spent goes on the record.
6. Request a cash-out. We record the date, amount, and method, then count the days until the money or gift card arrives.
7. Contact support. We ask at least one real question and rate the response.
8. Publish. The result goes up with screenshots, whether it's good or bad.

How we rate

Good means the bonus matched, ID verification was reasonable, and we got paid without a fight. Mixed means we got paid, but something didn't match the ad or took much longer than promised. Bad means the bonus was misleading, the cash-out stalled or was refused, or support stopped answering.

What we won't do

• Change a result because a casino pays us an affiliate commission.
• Remove a bad review because a casino asks. If they fix the problem, we retest and update the page with both results.
• Review real-money offshore casinos as if they're safe. They get their own warning page.
