Our rating methodology
Every operator we list is tested hands-on by our team: we open real accounts, deposit our own money, claim the welcome offer, play the games, request withdrawals and contact customer support. Scores are set by the editorial team and are never influenced by commercial relationships.

Each operator receives sub-scores for bonus value, game variety, payout speed, app experience, customer support and existing-player perks. The overall editorial score is a weighted average set by our editors.
