The criteria
Licence checks come first. A UK-facing casino should be checked against the current UKGC register before any account decision.
Game range, live casino, mobile usability and studio mix are scored together because a large library is less useful if the categories are hard to navigate.
How bonus terms affect the score
We look at offer type, wagering language, expiry, eligible games and how easy those details are to find.
We do not rank operators by the loudest headline figure. A smaller offer with clearer rules can be more useful than a larger one with narrow eligibility.
What we exclude
We do not compare payment methods, deposits, withdrawals or payout speeds.
We also avoid user testimonials, invented awards and exact claims that cannot be checked from public operator information.
