How We Check
The withdrawal test, and why every box is empty
The most useful thing anyone could publish about these casinos is what happens when you try to take money out. Not the advertised payout time, the real one, with the documents they ask for first.
We have not run one yet. Every brand page carries an empty box saying so, and it stays empty until a real deposit and a real withdrawal have happened, with screenshots. It is the single easiest thing on this site to fake and the single most damaging thing to fake, so it is left visibly undone rather than quietly filled in.
What runs every morning
A script requests every casino in our catalogue that publishes an address, 4,873 of 5,127, and records what came back: whether the site answered, what status it returned, which regulator it names, and whether it displays a licence number. 3,901 answer; a further 95 accepted a connection and then sent nothing before it timed out; the other 877 do not give us a usable answer, and that is recorded too. Of those, 271 no longer resolve at all, 374 answered with an error, and 232 resolved to something we could not use, a parked page or a connection we were not allowed to make. Only the first group has stopped existing at that address. The 254 with no address on file have never been requested at all, and are counted as neither. Payment methods are not part of this run: the cashier capture is dated, currently 2026-08-16, and every page that quotes it says so. Anything that differs from yesterday is written to an append-only log.
That log is the point. Any site can show you today. Nobody else can show you what changed, because that only accrues in real time and cannot be backfilled.
What we tried, and how often it worked
Every source here has a hit rate, and most of them are low. Publishing only the successes would make this site look far more complete than it is, so the misses are on the page too. If a competitor shows you a figure for every casino they list, ask them what they did when the site would not answer.
| What | How | Worked | Why it misses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site reachable | Direct request each morning | 3,901 of 5,127 | 95 accepted a connection and then sent nothing; 877 answered nothing usable; 254 have no address on file and have never been requested |
| Licence in a register | Regulator's own published file | 2,204 captured | 1,543 from Anjouan, 661 from Curaçao. No other offshore regulator publishes one |
| Licence at the regulator | Certificate behind the operator's seal | 49 of 1026 tried | We read raw HTML, and most footers are built by JavaScript |
| Wagering multiple | Read from the terms page | 111 of 748 | Most sites do not link their terms in the markup at all |
| Advertised offer | Read from the home page | 79 of 748 | Offers are frequently images or rendered after load |
| Country restrictions | Read from the terms page | 6 of 120 | Same reason as the wagering multiple |
| Brand logo | Manifest, touch icon, schema.org | 1,105 self-hosted | Most publish only a 16px favicon, too small to show |
These are our numbers, not estimates. The first row is re-measured every morning and is from 2026-10-12. The rest are captures that are not repeated daily: the certificate sweep is dated on /licences/, the registers on /licences/anjouan/ and /curacao-register/, and the cashier read is dated on every payment page. This table does not repeat those dates beside each row.
Check us
Nothing here needs to be taken on trust, and none of it requires our cooperation:
- A licence we verified. Open the casino, find the regulator seal in its footer, and follow it. You will land on the same certificate we read, served by the regulator rather than by us.
- A licence we could not verify. Look for that seal and see that there is not one, or that it does not resolve.
- An expiry. The Anjouan register is a public file. Search it for the licence number we print.
- A wagering multiple. Open the casino’s own pages — the terms page first, then the home-page offer — and look for the multiple we print. We do not link it for you: we hold a terms URL for 120 brands and publish none of them, so this one is checkable without us but it is not one click, and that is a gap in this page rather than in the reading.
- Whether a site is up. Type the domain into your own browser.
If any of that disagrees with what we publish, tell us. A correction costs us nothing and a wrong page costs us everything.
The three kinds of claim on this site
- Measured by us. Site reachability, payment methods advertised, licence numbers displayed, and, once a test is complete, deposit and withdrawal timings. These carry the date we measured them.
- Taken from a public register. Licence numbers, holding companies and expiry dates come from the regulator's own published file. We say which file and when we downloaded it.
- Stated by the operator. Bonus terms and advertised payout times. We label these as claims, because that is what they are.
What we cannot verify
Our checks read what a casino publishes. A site advertising a payment method is not proof it will work for you at the cashier. That requires depositing, and we have not deposited anywhere, so we do not claim it for any brand.
1,789 of the sites we track block automated checks. 1,694 of them answered us with a real HTTP status code, so a server is running and refusing us rather than being gone. The other 95 answered nothing at all before the connection timed out, and we do not know what is at that address. Either way we cannot read their pages, and we say so on the page rather than guessing.
Rules we hold ourselves to
- No page without something of our own on it. Enforced by the build: a page missing its own data fails to publish. It is not a policy someone remembers.
- Never a test we did not run. Withdrawal sections stay empty until a real deposit has been made and timed. A number nobody measured is an invented number.
- No score borrowed from anyone else. We do not republish another site's rating as ours.
- Readers cannot influence our ratings. Where we publish reader-submitted outcomes, they appear in their own column, clearly separated, and never feed our own figures.
- Every count shows its denominator and its date. "510 of 1,009, checked 15 August", not "over 500".
How we are paid
Nothing on this site earns money today. The outbound links go to each casino's own homepage with no tracking attached, and we have joined no affiliate programme, so no click here pays us anything. If that changes this paragraph changes with it, because it is generated from what the links actually contain rather than written by hand.
Outbound links are marked sponsored nofollow by the software that
renders them, so it cannot be forgotten, and they route through a path search
engines are told not to crawl. Payment does not change the data. The tables
are generated from the daily check, and no operator can buy a position in them.
Corrections
If a figure here is wrong we want to know, and we will correct it with a dated note rather than a silent edit.
