This page describes exactly what we check about the operators we list, how we check it, and what we have not done. If a page on this site says something about a named operator, it came from the process below and carries the date it was read.
Which casino licence and bonus details do we check?
Four things, all of them readable by any visitor before opening an account:
- The licence the operator holds. What its own site states, then what the regulator’s own records say: the Curaçao Gaming Authority’s domain certificates and register, and the Anjouan Gaming public register. A badge image proves nothing on its own.
- Whether licences are shared. When two brands state the same licence number and company, they are one business trading under two names. That matters if you are spreading money across sites to spread risk.
- What the bonus terms state. Five figures: the wagering multiple, what it applies to, the maximum win from a bonus, the maximum stake while a bonus is live, and any monthly withdrawal cap.
- Where the site takes you. The domain a visitor actually lands on, which is not always the one typed in.
How we read and record public casino pages
These sites are JavaScript applications: the legal text in the footer does not exist until the page has run. So a script opens each operator’s own site in a real browser, waits for the page to finish loading, scrolls the footer into view and records its text. A second script does the same for the promotions, bonus and terms pages. The results, with the date, are stored and quoted on the pages that use them.
The scripts read only what a visitor can read without an account. They do not log in, open pop-ups, accept offers or contact anyone. If an operator shows its licence or terms only behind a registration wall, the check records them as not found — because at the point where you decide whether to deposit, you cannot see them either.
The checks are repeatable. Anyone can open the same footer and see the same text, or see that it has changed since we looked. If it has, please tell us.

For licences, the comparison shows the regulator whose own records list the brand, and Curaçao (stated) where only the operator’s pages say so. Wagering is not shown on the comparison: a multiple could be established for only two of sixteen operators, and our note on the bonus terms we could not find explains why. None of these labels is a judgement about the operator; each describes what could be established.
What we have not checked, and why it matters
We have not tested withdrawals, verification or support at any operator. Those are the things that decide whether a casino is worth using, and they cannot be read from a website. Until they are tested, treat every payout time on this site as the operator’s advertising.
We have checked licences on the regulators’ own records, and the results — with their caveats, including register entries that disagree with certificates, and expiry dates that the register later updated — are in which casinos hold a licence. What we have not established is whether any operator is allowed to serve customers in Great Britain: none of the licences we found is British. You can check a licence yourself, and you should before depositing anywhere.
The welcome offers shown for thirteen operators come from our affiliate programme’s list, read on 25 September 2026. The other three offers, and all payout times, minimum deposits and payment methods, are as shown on a partner affiliate site’s listing the same day. We have not confirmed any of them with the operators, so treat them as unverified.
We do not assess game fairness, software, or the operators’ finances.
Why we do not give casinos ratings or scores
We do not publish ratings or scores. A score needs evidence behind each part of it — payout times that were measured, support that was contacted — and we do not have that evidence yet. A number without it would be an opinion dressed as a measurement.
How the comparison page is ordered is stated on that page, above the list.
What can a check of a casino website miss?
- “Not found” does not mean “does not exist”. The script reads page text only. A term shown in an image, a pop-up or an information panel would be missed, so a missing figure is a reason to ask the operator, not proof that the term is absent.
- Text in images is missed. Our script does not read text inside images, so it may miss a licence number shown only as a graphic.
- Sites change. Operators edit terms and move domains. Every figure is dated for that reason; an old date is a reason to look again.
- Addresses can be wrong. Our first pass read the addresses we had on file; for eight brands they turned out to be parked domains or sites about the brand rather than the operator’s own. Nothing from those addresses is used.
How to report an error in our casino research
If something here is wrong, the corrections page explains how to tell us and what we do about it. Material corrections are recorded on the page they affect, with the date.
