How we rate —
and how we get paid

Both answers on one page, because they belong together. You deserve to know exactly how the money flows before you trust a ranking.

a commission

It costs you nothing extra. Commissions differ per casino — which is exactly why our scores are computed from test data before anyone looks at commercial rates.

The firewall rules

  • Every operator we list is checked against the AGLC register first.
  • Scores are locked from test data before commercial terms are discussed.
  • No casino can pay to be listed, ranked higher, or have a poor review softened.
  • Every review shows its test dates and its next re-check date.

Our editorial standards

Independence

We choose which operators to cover and how to rate them. Commercial relationships never influence a score or a verdict.

Hands-on testing

Reviews are based on real deposits, real play and timed withdrawals — not on operator marketing. Reviews in progress are clearly labelled until that testing is done.

Dated & re-checked

Every fact carries a date. Licences are re-verified against the AGLC register on a regular cycle, and we publish when.
