Funded from our own account

Every account was opened the way a reader opens one and funded from our own budget. Comped balances, test accounts and press credentials are refused, because an account the operator knows is under observation does not behave the way yours will.

Three filings, median recorded

A single settlement records one day. We file three per brand across three separate weeks and enter the middle figure rather than the flattering one. When the median is materially worse than the operator advertises, the entry records it.

What the score weighs

Settlement speed carries the most weight, because it is what fails most often. Redeemable value comes next, counted as the promotional figure alone with the gold disregarded. Then the clearing requirement, then the minimum, then whether the rulebook matches what the cashier does. Catalogue size and interface polish count least, because a handsome casino that settles slowly is still slow.

Independence

Some links carry a commission when a reader registers. The rate is agreed before the audit and cannot be renegotiated afterwards. Several audited brands pay nothing and hold the positions the audit gave them. No operator sees an entry before publication and placement is not purchasable.

Re-auditing

Terms move. One-times becomes two-times, minimums rise, cashiers slow after a growth spurt. We re-fund and re-audit the full ledger twice a year and update individual entries sooner when a reader reports a change.
