We want YOU to be safe out there and only play at safe, established online gaming properties that treat players right with quick payouts and top service. Here is how we test the online casinos BEFORE we recommend them.

We play test and rate over 100 online casino properties four times a year, and we check the licenses, we make deposits and withdrawals with e-wallets, credit cards and crypocurrency, and make sure that the sites are paying out quickly. we also review all player feedback that we get from the thousands of readers that have actually tried these places.

Then we sit down and eliminate over 80 percent of the sites that simply do NOT fit. Our approach is to only use "best-in-class" operators. We work out which casinos are the best places to bet online and then recommend the top casinos in our lists.

You can see our current recommendations of the best casinos on the internet at our dedicated online casino review section.
