How we rate

The rankings on this site order operators by what they publish, not by what they claim. Every input is a term the operator puts in writing on its own pages or a fact in the market records the desk keeps for US-facing operators.

What goes in

  • The welcome offer — match percentage, cap, free spins, and whether it is paid on one deposit or spread over several.
  • Playthrough — the multiple, and whether it applies to the bonus alone or to bonus plus deposit. Lower is better; bonus-only is better than bonus plus deposit.
  • Minimum deposit — the smallest deposit that triggers the offer.
  • Products on the account — casino, sportsbook, poker.
  • Licence and trading record — the licensing body the operator names and how long it has been trading.
  • How widely the operator is covered — how many independent review sites track it for the US market.

How the order is set

Each ranking first selects the operators that meet its subject — a sportsbook on the account, three or more coins, a playthrough of 30x or less — and then orders them on the inputs above. The order differs between rankings because the subject differs. The Verdict figure on each card follows the position on that page, so a higher row always carries a higher figure.

Commission

The site earns a commission when a reader opens an account through a link on a ranking or a review. Commission does not buy a position, a score or a review; an operator that stops publishing its terms leaves the rankings.

What we do not rate

We do not publish payout speeds, game counts or support response times: none of the operators here commits to them in its terms, so there is nothing to verify. We do not rate operators licensed by US states; they are covered in the US States section.

Playing safely

Offshore operators answer to their own regulator, not to a US state. Keep balances small, withdraw winnings promptly and set limits before you play. 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-MY-RESET.
