Our Review Methodology
Every casino on CasinoReviewer.io is tested with a real-money deposit before any score is published. Here is exactly how we evaluate each operator.
Real-Money Testing Protocol
Our reviewers make a minimum deposit, play a variety of games across multiple sessions, claim the welcome bonus where eligible, and request a withdrawal. Only after completing this protocol do we publish a rating. We revisit each casino at minimum every six months, and re-review immediately following any complaint trends or operational changes.
Scoring Criteria
Licensing & Regulation
20%We verify all licences with the issuing authority. We prioritise UKGC, MGA, and major US state licences. Curaçao-licensed casinos are included but rated lower unless they have additional certifications.
Game Fairness
20%We check for third-party RNG certification (eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI) and verify RTP figures where possible. Provably fair platforms are assessed independently.
Payout Speed & Reliability
20%We make real withdrawals and time them. We assess minimum withdrawal limits, available methods, and any history of slow or withheld payments.
Bonus Transparency
15%Bonus terms are analysed for wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and maximum win caps. We flag misleading or unusually restrictive conditions.
Game Library
10%We evaluate the breadth and quality of games including slots, live dealer, table games, and exclusive titles. Software provider diversity is factored in.
Customer Support
10%We contact support via live chat and email with specific questions. Response time, accuracy, and professionalism are all scored.
User Experience
5%We assess mobile compatibility, site speed, navigation, payment method UX, and overall ease of use on both desktop and mobile.
Independence Policy
CasinoReviewer.io earns revenue through affiliate referral fees when players sign up to reviewed casinos. This does not influence our ratings — we have published negative reviews of casinos that pay high affiliate commissions, and we maintain a list of blacklisted operators regardless of financial arrangements. Our scoring is determined by methodology criteria alone.
