Last checked
Every operator page on this site is filled in from the same list. If a field is empty for an operator, it stays empty — we do not estimate it and we do not copy it from another comparison site.
The 12 data points
- welcome offer headline — copied word for word from the operator’s promotions page
- bonus amount or spins — the maximum the operator publishes, not the headline percentage
- wagering requirement — from the bonus terms, marked (b) or (b+d) so the two are not confused
- minimum deposit — from the cashier page, in US dollars
- licence — the licence named in the operator’s footer, quoted as written
- year launched — the operator’s own founding statement
- payment methods — what the cashier currently lists for US accounts
- crypto coins accepted — counted from the cashier, not from a marketing page
- sportsbook on site — checked by opening the sportsbook with a US IP address
- poker room on site — checked the same way
- payout speed — the standard quoted for that payment method, not a best case
- score — our own figure, derived from the fields above
How the order on a page is decided
The list is ordered on the value of the published welcome offer for US players, the number of coins and cards the cashier actually accepts, and whether the operator runs a sportsbook as well as a casino. Pages built for a narrower question — crypto, free spins, apps, banking — order on that question first. Two operators never sit in the same order on every page: the order is seeded from the page address.
What we do not do
- We do not publish star ratings collected from other sites, and we do not run user voting — there is no way to keep it honest.
- We do not claim a US licence for offshore operators. No US state regulator licenses the sites listed here; that is stated on the pages that list them.
- We do not invent bonus amounts. If an operator does not publish a figure, the field stays empty and the operator usually does not make the list.
- We do not hide the commercial link: every outbound operator link is sponsored and pays this site if you sign up.
- We do not write about operators that block US players, however good the offer.
What an empty field means
An empty field is a finding, not a gap. It means the operator does not publish the figure anywhere a reader could check it, and we would rather show you that than fill the cell with a number borrowed from a comparison site that borrowed it from another one. The most common blanks are payout speed and wagering requirement, and both blanks tell you something: a book that will not commit to a withdrawal window in writing is a book that has not committed to one.
The same rule applies to licensing. We record the licence an operator names on its own footer and nothing more. We do not translate a Curaçao registration into a claim of US regulation, we do not describe an offshore book as “approved”, and where an operator names no licence at all the field is blank and the operator does not appear in a list that is sorted on trust.
How often a page is re-checked
Every page carries the date it was last checked, at the top, in words. That date moves only when someone has actually opened the operator’s terms, cashier and bonus pages again — not when a template is rebuilt and not when a line of styling changes. If the date at the top of a page looks stale to you, treat every number on it as stale too.
Offers move faster than anything else on the page, so the offer headline and its terms are the first things re-read on each pass. Banking comes second, because a cashier can drop a card network or a coin without any announcement. Everything structural — when the site launched, which licence it names, whether it runs a poker room — changes rarely and is confirmed rather than re-researched. When an operator stops accepting US players outright, the page says so at the top instead of quietly disappearing, because a page that vanishes teaches you nothing.
How this site makes money
Operator links are commercial. That pays for the site and it does not buy a position: the order comes out of the data above, and an operator cannot pay to move up it. Where an operator has bought a fixed placement, the block says so in words on the page.
