This is how we choose the top 10 best casinos. Take a closer look behind the scenes and learn what it takes for a casino to end up in our top list here on the site!
Either we find a new casino that seems exciting or the casino contacts us to assess their gaming site.
Before we even start testing and examining the casino, we look at the following things:
- Does the casino have a safe and valid license?
- Is the company behind the casino reliable? How is the reputation and has the company previously had casinos online that have not been so good?
- Are the bonus conditions fair for players?
The casino must be approved on all three of these points for us to want to investigate it. If the casino has been approved on these three points, we proceed with creating an account and testing the casino.
Here’s how it works:
- We visit the casino and create an account without the casino knowing who we are, just like all other players, in other words.
- In connection with this, we look at how simple the registration process is, which games the casino offers, the structure and other things the casino offers such as unique features or promotions.
- We make a deposit and choose to receive our bonus to ensure that the bonus is activated for new customers.
- Now we try a couple of games in the casino mostly to ensure that everything flows and that the games load as they should.
After a while, we try to make a withdrawal with one of the casino’s payout methods. We do not review the time for the withdrawal because all withdrawals take a different amount of time, but test the withdrawal more to make sure that the casino reviews the withdrawal within 24h and that the money reaches us.
After going through this process, we list all the things the casino has as follows:
- Bonus amount: How much can we withdraw in bonus?
- Bonus conditions: What are the casino’s wagering requirements?
- How many games does the casino have?
- Does the casino have anything unique?
- How reliable is the company behind the casino?
- Does the casino have more advantages than disadvantages?
- Does the casino have an MGA, Curacao and/or Ontario license or some other license?
- How good are the customer rewards?
- Does the casino offer an exclusive bonus to our readers?
- How old is the casino? (An older casino is considered safer.)
These 10 questions help us understand if the casino is one of best. Casinos that are better in most aspects simply end up at the top of our list and become what we call best online casinos.
This is how we compare casino bonuses
When deciding how good a bonus is, we review a number of different things. How many percentages are offered, is it a first deposit bonus or a bonus package, what is the turnover requirement and how many days is the bonus active from when we receive it?
So, in other words, a casino can sometimes seem to have a worse bonus and still end up higher in our top list. This may be because the casino has other things that we ask for that are better, but it may also be because the bonus has lower wagering requirements, a longer validity period or is simply exclusive to our readers.
Here is an example of what i mean
Bonus 1
200% up to $1000 (Wager requirements 55x)
Bonus 2
100% up to $400 (Wager requirements 20x)
In this case the nr 1 bonus seems to be much better, but in reality the bonus 2 is much better becouse it has much lower wagering requirements and therefor this bonus will be scored higher by us.
We use the exact same ranking factors for casinos that we rank for players in New Zealand , Sweden, Ireland, USA and other parts of the world outside of Canada.
This process allows us to guarantee that all the top casinos here are licensed and safe, have good bonuses for new players and that we only recommend those that are the best overall.
