Rating System

How GamblingMaister Rates Online Casinos

At GamblingMaister, we take casino ratings seriously. Our scoring system is designed to give players a clear, honest view of what to expect before signing up. Every rating is based on real-world data, player feedback, and a transparent review process that highlights both the strengths and the weaknesses of each site.

We never give out perfect scores. Our job is to help you choose the best option for your playstyle—not to promote casinos that don’t deliver on their promises.

Our Rating Criteria

We assess each online casino based on a weighted set of criteria to ensure fairness, transparency, and consistency across all reviews:

Licensing & Security
We only consider casinos that hold valid licenses from trusted regulators like MGA, UKGC, or Curacao. Extra points are given to sites with strong security protocols and responsible gambling tools.

Bonus Terms & Wagering
We closely examine each welcome bonus and promotion. A generous bonus with harsh restrictions is rated lower than a moderate bonus with fair terms. We also evaluate wagering requirements, maximum win caps, and country restrictions.

Game Selection & Providers
A wide variety of slots, table games, and live dealer options is a must. We also look at the quality of the game providers—big names like NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Pragmatic Play score higher.

Deposit & Withdrawal Process
Fast withdrawals, low or no fees, and multiple payment methods improve a casino’s score. We also check how easy it is to verify your identity and withdraw funds without unnecessary delays.

User Interface & Mobile Experience
We test the site layout on desktop and mobile to ensure smooth navigation, quick loading times, and game responsiveness.

Player Feedback & Reputation
We gather and analyze real player reviews from public forums, social media, and complaint boards to see how a casino handles disputes and feedback.

How We Assign Scores

Each casino receives a final score between 1 and 10, with two decimal points for accuracy. Here's a simplified breakdown of what the numbers mean:

• 9.0 – 10.0: Excellent – Highly trusted and recommended

• 7.0 – 8.9: Good – Reliable, but may have some minor drawbacks

• 5.0 – 6.9: Average – Acceptable, but there are better options

• Below 5.0: Poor – Avoid unless issues are addressed

Independent & Transparent

GamblingMaister’s ratings are never paid for. We may earn a commission if you sign up through our links, but this never affects how we rate a casino. If a site starts mistreating players or receives repeated complaints, we lower its score or remove it altogether.
