Rankings
Best online casinos for US players
Every casino on this page accepts players from the United States, quotes its welcome offer in dollars and publishes the terms behind it. None of them is licensed by a US state: they are offshore operators, which is the only kind a player outside the handful of regulated states can sign up with.

The criteria-based review order is not a popularity poll. We read each operator’s published bonus-offer page and score precisely what it commits to in its stated terms — the value of the offer, the playthrough requirement linked to it, the minimum qualifying deposit that activates it, the gambling products available within the account and the regulator-issued license it names. Open any individual operator review for the criterion-by-criterion scoring detail.

None of them holds a licence from a US state: they trade on offshore licences, and state law on playing at them differs. Check the rules where you live — our US States section goes state by state. 21+. Offers change without notice; the operator’s own terms page is the final word. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-MY-RESET.
How to read a card
The numeral at the far left is the casino’s ordinal rank within this review page; the Verdict score immediately beside it falls with every successively lower-ranked entry, so a higher ranking row consistently shows a greater score. The panel in the right-hand offer column is the operator’s own introductory promotion as posted: what you receive, the required playthrough (wagering) threshold, the minimum qualifying deposit amount plus any offer-specific redemption code for activation.
“Watch for” is the one weakness we would want to know about before depositing. It is different on every card, so read it rather than the headline.
Offshore, and what that means
An overseas casino is licensed in a different jurisdiction — Curacao, Anjouan or Panama in this list — and reports to that regulator, rather than a US state's government. If a dispute turns sour, there is no state gambling board to object to. That is the primary reason to keep balances low and withdraw winnings quickly.
Regulated state casinos exist in a handful of states; outside them, offshore sites are what is on offer. Our US States section explains the position where you live.
Before you deposit
- Read the bonus terms page, not the banner.
- Check whether the playthrough counts the deposit as well as the bonus.
- Note the maximum bet allowed while a bonus is active.
- Complete identity checks before you need to withdraw.
- Decide on a loss limit before the first spin and keep to it.
Questions
Are these casinos legal in the US?
They are licensed offshore, not by a US state. Whether playing at them is lawful depends on the state you are in; our US States section covers each state.
Why do scores fall down the list?
The Verdict figure follows the position on the page, so the list and the score never contradict each other. The order itself comes from the published terms.
