How We Rank Casinos

Our scoring methodology is built on four weighted factors, applied consistently to every casino on this site.

35% of score

License Validity

Only casinos holding an active license from a recognized regulator (Malta MGA, UK Gambling Commission, Curaçao eGaming, etc.) are eligible to be listed at all.

25% of score

Verified Player Reviews

Pulled directly from public Trustpilot profiles — not collected by us — so scores can't be manipulated on our end.

25% of score

Withdrawal Speed

Tracked payout times reported by verified players, weighted heavily since slow withdrawals are the most common player complaint industry-wide.

15% of score

Bonus Value & Terms

We evaluate real value — wagering requirements, max bet limits, and validity periods — not just the headline percentage.

A note on placement

Some casinos on this site have a commercial partnership with StakeGuide. This never affects whether a casino meets our minimum licensing and trust requirements — partnership status is separate from the scoring criteria above.
