Our scoring weights
The overall score is calculated automatically from the six category scores below. Commercial relationships never change a score.
What we test
- We verify ownership, licensing or regulatory basis and applicable state restrictions.
- We create and fund an account with our own testing budget.
- We assess product depth, usability, support and the real value of advertised offers.
- We request a withdrawal or redemption and record conditions, method and elapsed time.
- A named editor checks material claims, dates and calculations before publication.
Updates and corrections
Reviews show published and updated dates. Material operator, payment or legal changes trigger a re-check. Readers can report corrections, but evidence—not commercial pressure—determines the outcome.
Every score on this site traces to this page. If a number can’t be defended from here, it doesn’t publish.
Every brand review is built the same way: a named reviewer registers a real account, deposits, plays or trades, and withdraws — logging timestamps throughout. The review is then verified line-by-line by a second named person before publication. Both names are on the page, along with the published date and the updated date.
The six areas and their weights
| Area | Weight | What we test |
|---|---|---|
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | Offer honesty, playthrough, expiry traps, whether bonuses actually credit |
| Games | 20% | Catalogue depth, provider spread, discoverability |
| Banking | 25% | Deposit rails, withdrawal speed logged twice minimum, document friction |
| Trust & Safety | 15% | Company transparency, rules accessibility, RG tools that actually function |
| Customer Support | 10% | Response time and competence, tested at antisocial hours |
| User Experience | 10% | Speed, clarity, dark-pattern absence, mobile quality |
The overall is computed from those weights — never hand-set. If you see 84, it’s because the arithmetic says 84.
What we will not do
No score is for sale, and no negative finding is softened for a commercial partner. Blacklisted brands get zero affiliate links. Reader reviews are never averaged into editorial scores, and we never reward anyone for writing a review. Offers we can’t personally verify are removed, publicly.
